Hey, I'm Justina. Heard about this group from one of my MFP friends. I need to do something different because I've been struggling to stay consistent. Been trying to lose weight since 2009. Lost 30 but gained it (and more
) back when I was studying for the CPA exam from 2012 - 2015. I've been having trouble getting and staying on track since I finished the exam in 2015.
Looking forward to having some good results this month.4 -
Hi! I am doing this because I want to do a challenge for November and this looked like a good one. I gained 20 lbs in the past few years and want to try to lose it. I have been doing MFP for over a year, but can barely maintain. I used to exercise regularly, ran marathons and even became a cpt ( on paper.) But life and my health have been messy, so here I am. I know a lot , but applying it consistently is difficult for me.4

@missjones513 - I love your profile picture/quote. SO true!
@Sunnysided1 - Knowledge and application are 2 very different things for sure! My husband was a CPT (many years ago) and he has a degree in Sports and Exercise science. He chose a different career path and has distanced himself from that world, but still retains a lot of it of course. We both have committed to getting back in the gym and focusing on our health. Motivation and staying commited is the hardest part!3 -
Hello everyone. I'm Sylvia, sahm to two rambunctious kiddos. I've been on MFP for a long time. I've currently lost 50lbs and have 50 more to go. I joined this challenge to get myself more active. I usually exercise about an hour a day but i really need to move more throughout the day period. I've set a schedule to adhere to and i know it will be harder to resist eating more as I move more so Here i am. Good luck everyone3

Hello!
My name is Kelsea. I am 25 years old and currently work as a nursing assitant before beginning my master's program next year. My current goal is to lose 14 lbs by February 1st and keep it off/keep losing through summer. School will be very busy, and I would like to be in control of my weight before I start.
I'm single, so going out with friends tends to get the best of me. Similar to others who already introduced themselves, I am horrible at eating and drinking after logging in my diary all day. I joined this challenge to keep me accountable of all of those extras that I tend to let slide.
I wish everyone the best of luck! Please feel free to add me as a friend!3 -
Hi!! I am here trying to get into shape for my physical and mental health. I am excited to do this and hope to gain self control through this challenge . Good luck to everyone

My name is Tyshieha and I am 40 years old. I have 4 children ages 23, 19, 5, and 2. I was skinny all my life if not underweight then I had kids and at my largest weight which was a little over a month ago was 228. I have finally gotten serious about losing weight and right now I am at 211.4. I am proud of myself but I am having a hard time keeping motivated. I am averaging 3 times a week to go to the gym. I am losing 1 lb a week but I want to go to the gym more but I keep getting bit by a lazy bug. I want to go to the gym on a more regular basis like 5 times a week. I just don’t know how to keep my motivation up to keep going to the gym on a regular basis.
I changed the way that I have been eating. I barely eat sugar anymore unless its natural sugar except for dark chocolate. I know I have to figure out a way to snack because I am a grazer. I like to snack all day, it does not matter if I am hungry or not. I don’t know why. I eat a lot of vegetables. After I work out I will drink a protein shake to keep my muscles while I am losing the weight.
Just like today I had a bag of celery and Chipotle Hummus. I ate an entire small container of hummus. So I know I still have some work to do when it comes to eating. I am writing down everything that I eat now and I am trying to stay under my calories per day. Yesterday I stayed under my calories per day but today I have went over them……
