    Height: 5'6 (you ladies are making me feel TALL)
    Current Weight: 210 LBS
    Challenge Goal Weight: 198
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 180
    My Motivation: I can't ever remember being 210 lbs! I have already come so far thanks to a BIG change in my life in 2015/2016. Now the goal is to get under 200 - I can DO IT!
    My Plan: logging my food everyday, even the little treats every once in a while! Continue to practice yoga, using the 'RUNNING for weightloss' app to improve my endurance for cardio, and trying to incorporate strength training 2-3x a week...which is where I have been slacking!

    Name: Meg
    Age: 48
    Height: 5'6
    Current Weight: 147
    Challenge Goal Weight: 143
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 140 to 145
    Motivation: I had used MFP a few years ago and still had those last few pounds hanging on. My MIL was here for three weeks in late January, and at 65 would not move. She could not pick p anything over three or for ponds and couldn't walk a quarter of a mile. She is normal weight but completely sedentary. I told my husband that was not going to be me. so, goal is to become more active and overall healthier, not so much a weight goal.
    Plan: Log all my food and drinks with an eye on keeping what I enjoy as part of this - it is a lifestyle change not a diet for me. Working out six days a week, with a combo of strength training, stretching and cardio

    Motivation ... good health and wellness. Clean and lean body. I was the 140 lbs mark 16 months ago and kind of looked gaunt as I have a larger frame but wasn't training so maybe this time it might be different.

    Quiet fit and going from bikes to full body training in the last 2 weeks

    Plan plan is clean.nearly paleo minimal cards and good fats. Trying to stop the odd chocolate turning into a full pig fest and getting summer ready !!
    Good luck all
