    Hi ! I am 37 years old - My name is Erika and I live in the South. I am married for 14 years and have 3 children (2 boys 8&5yo and a girl 2yo) work full time doing Technical Support from HOME. (challenging) I am looking to loose about 55 more pounds = I have lost 80 so far. I do not do well being pregnant! I have lost the weight each time I had a baby. I think total I gained almost 100 pounds each time I was pregnant. I was on bed rest and they monitored me quite well. I want to get back to my High school weight. (don't we all) I walk, bike, swim, and use my yoga ball. I have had 4 knee surgery's because I was a active athlete as a kid. My last surgery was in March of this year. I really do hope it was my last surgery! I am trying to eat more fresh foods rather than prepackaged foods.

    Excited about our new group!

    I have been looking for a group to join for motivation and understanding. I would like to lose 50lbs. I currently weigh in at 175lbs and I am told by my Dr my goal weight should be 125/130lbs. I have a 10 month old daughter and I have been on a strict calorie diet and fitness routine for a solid month now. I log onto MFP everyday now to track my calories and work out. I LOVE IT HERE

    Will you have me? :flowerforyou:

    I'm Lizzie or Liz, 28, Lubbock, TX, I am a secretary and sit all day long, my first goal is Onederland, 199.9, then somewhere around 150ish. Thank you for including me.

    Yeah. Thanks for including me. Hopefully that will help to get me motivated.

    I'm Debi, 41. I live and teach in Morocco. I really need ideas for being more active. It sometimes feels like you need to be in shape to be active. I love walking and I should do that more. But I'm insecure about trying new activities. I'd hate to try biking, only to get a few blocks away before tiring out. There's no way I'd try to get involved in team sports. And heaven forbid I put on a bathing suit and go to the pool. So advice and encouragement to aid me with this would be wonderful.

    Can't wait to get to know you all.

    Cheers!

    I'm Jessica, 21 years old :) I live about 40 minutes from Saint Louis, MO. I sing in a band on the weekends and we're working on our first album right now :3 Sometimes this whole band practice on the weekends thing leads to eating/drinking too much but I did good last weekend so here's hoping lol.

    I'm looking to get to around 180-170 by the time I graduate next May, my ultimate goal being 150 (an beyond, maybe, depending on where my health is at then). I'm losing weight primarily for my health--my blood pressure has been high for the past few months and I don't want to go on medication for it... I'm also finding that exercise has helped my bipolar disorder become a little more stable :) I also hope most of my back problems will go away as the weight does.

    I'm Lynz (Lyndsey), 33 from near Stirling in Scotland. I stay at home with my two boys, 4 and 2.
    I currently do no exercise, am 197lbs and would like to be 147lbs. I'm 5ft so that's heavy.
    I'm really excited about being in a group and hopefully it will be much more motivating than anything I've tried in the past. I start every day with good intentions and by about midday am telling myself I will start again tomorrow. I genuinely believe I am addicted to food/sugar/carbs etc so if it's okay with you all I'll be using you as 'sponsors'.

    Thanks

    So great to meet you all!! My name is Emma and I live in Edinburgh in the UK (so i am close to you Linz!!). I have been slowly putting on weight since I left high school and can't remember a time when i didn't have my weight on my mind! Over the last couple of years I have become more comfortable with myself and my weight has plateaued and I have been stuck at 215lbs. I can't ever remember being less than 150 lbs, so I am aiming for 160 and then I'll see how I feel!

    I sit at a desk all day and have been using the excuse of a dodgy knee and ankle for the last 6 months as the reason I have done no exercise. I am signed up for a 10k in October and I do zumba on a Sunday. I have just started Jilliam Michaels 30 day shred and even thought I struggle I have now done it for 3 days in a row.

    I recently quit smoking and I am single and live on my own but I have a close group of friends who are all skinny but never make me feel bad about myself. I am glad to make some friends on here who are in the same situation as me and I hope we can help each other.

    Emma
