    Name: Toya

    Height: 4'11 1/2 ( yes, the half does count, LOL)

    My reason for joining the diamond is my partners are not as serious as I am about losing this weight. There is always some excuse. I love my newly found friends on MFP, but, I still want that one-on-one connection. I could help motivate my partner as well as my partner can help motivate me.

    My reason for joining the little Dimonds: I like the idea of having a partner during a challenge. So you can support and motivate each other and you can "celebrate" your weight loss together! I'm really looking forward to this challenge! It sounds great and I'll give my best to be a supportive partner for everyone!

    Hi! If you still have room, I'd like to join.

    first name: Val

    height: 5'4"

    reason for joining The Diamonds Challenge: I really think that I could benefit from having a partner with similar goals. In "real" life, I am going at this alone--no workout partners. I have support, but those in my family/friend circle are very busy and not focused on health and weight loss, so I don't feel like they understand what I am going through or trying to achieve. I love supporting and motivating others, and I really like getting support in return. :happy: Having someone to be accountable to will make me think twice if the thought to stop at a fast food joint ever crosses my mind. :laugh: (Which it won't... I hope...)

    Name: Angie

    Height: 4'10 1/2" (I'm with Toya the 1/2 definitely counts :laugh: )

    Reason for joining the Diamond Challenge: I want to join the Little Diamonds because hopefully having the support will help me pinpoint why I am not losing the weight on my own. I have tried WW and now I'm doing MFP, but haven't figured out what will work for me (i.e. sticking with 1200 calories/day not counting exercise or eating my exercise calories back).

    Name: Krystie

    Height: 5'4

    Reason for joining the Diamond Challenge: First of all, this seems like it's going to be a very fun group! I look forward to having people to support me and supporting others. I'm a really great listener and love giving advice when I can, so this seems perfect for me since I'll be partnered up. Also, I'm going this pretty much alone in real life. I have my lovely sister who is also on here, but she lives an hour away so I have no gym partner. :( This is just what I need to stay motivated and kick start my weight loss!

    Hello! I am Nikki and I just about count at 5ft 4.... Always believed I was 5ft 5 but at the gym I was measured the other day and I appear to have lost an inch! The best things come in small packages eh?!

    I have really enjoyed the last two rounds of DITR, although I have only lost 6 pounds, I am not putting it on, so that's progress... I guess the closer u get to the goal, the tougher it gets to shift the weight.

    I love having the support network that diamonds provides and it keeps me accountable for diet and exercise.

    Thanks! I figured it out right before you posted that. It's too early for reading apparently. LOL

    Sorry ladies, I totally should have put that in the introduction as well! Each round of the challenge is now four weeks. (In the past they were 7 weeks, but 4 is a bit more manageable).

    I'm Kristin, and I'm 5'2". I have loved being a diamond, and I like the idea of buddying up with a fellow "petite" :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I have lost a total of 18 lbs, and am just over 1/2 way to my goal. I know it will be more difficult to lose consistently as I get closer to goal, so this challenge is even more important to me!

    I just wanted to give you a shout out for starting the Diamonds challenge. Unfortunately, I can't make the daily commitment to message this month so I won't ask to join...I don't want to slight anyone. Maybe I'll peek in on the thread and be able to join the next round. Great job ladies! :flowerforyou:

    Name: Laurence

    Height: 5'4

    Reason for joining the Diamond Challenge: I have been trying to lose weight by myself and I realized that I am struggling to lose my 22 last pounds alone. I love the idea to have a partner and I will be happy to succeed with people who have the same goal.

    My reason for wanting to join the Little Diamonds is because since I joined MFP I have been more motivated to workout and eat healthy. Joining little Dimonds will give me that extra one on one support that I need to help me meet my weight loss goal.

    Hi there!

    Name: Vicki

    Height 5ft 2

    Reason for Joining: I'm fairly new to MFP, and although I've lost a pound in my first week, I really feel like, if I have a partner dedicated to helping me and supporting me, I can achieve so much more. I enjoy writing, love making new friends, especially all over the world, and feel that by joining I could combine these two things. I also feel that being part of a team would make me think more about my choices and also make me come online and participate every day, even if it has to be in the evening or something. I also have a few events coming up and need that extra push so that I look and feel good, and therefore confident, at them.
