Hi I am Jen, this challenge is for me! I am hoping It will help hold me accountable. I want to get in the habit of logging my food in everyday, drinking my water and getting my steps in and eventually lifting weights. My goal is to lose 6 lbs by the challenges end.

Thanks @FitMommyMal for getting this started!

hello looking forward to this challenge, I have started using my resistance band and found a great video on you tube. I can all ready feel a difference in my arms and legs. Looking forward to challenge myself to work hard and lose the fat, I have gained over the years. Just turn 40 in Jan and looking for some changes. With my daughter wanting to go to the beach I need to work on myself.

Hi everyone! Need to trim down to get back into roadcycling. Live stresses (relationship, job, you name it... have thrown me off during the last months. Too much Domino's Pizza, not enough sport! Planning to loose c. 9lbs in the six weeks. I am looking forward to the challenge and to the group!

Hi I'm cyn I'm looking forward to working with all you great people I'm here to lose I have a lot but slow n easy is what I hear I can't wait to start the challenges

Hey all, I'm Mark. I've had diabetes for over 15 years and been fat for even longer. I've reached a point where I just can't let the damage keep progressing. Over the last year or two my cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure were all climbing, and my daily work activities (which are physical but not super strenuous) leave everything from my lower back down hurting, which makes getting the work done that much harder. Started MFP three weeks ago, because the diabetes meds I'm on just didn't really seem to be doing anything. Within 3 to 4 days my blood sugars got down where I want them, just from sticking to reduced calories and limiting carbs. Saw my doc on Wed. and my cholesterol, trig's and bp are all back to normal (not sure if that is due to the diet change or the zocor I've been on for three months.) Can't wait for my next blood test in three months, when my A1C will look like someone without diabetes. Also anxious to drop the poundage so my joints and muscles don't hurt so much. I figure this challenge group will help keep me from getting bored during the process.

I'm kita I have three goals 1. Lose 1 stone 2. Change most of my diet to healthy food keeping some treats and 3. Tone up... Really struggling with this one. So let's all help each other and feel free to friend me if you like

Hi everyone! I'm Brynn and I teach middle school math. This is our last week of school so I'm looking forward to have some time to get back to focusing on myself. I have had a really crazy year. I got married in Sept, but a month before the wedding my FH was transferred from Southwest VA to Philly so we've been living 7 hours apart since Aug. That means tons of traveling and eating bad food. I have managed to lose 15 lbs since Christmas and I have 5-10 more to go. What I want to focus on now is lifting weights and really getting stronger arms and a better butt. I love to run but I'm going to have to cut back because of a knee injury, so weights and swimming will be my friend.

So I guess this is my starting weigh in

14st9.5lb

Good luck everyone x
