    Name: Ilene
    Age: 43
    Height: 5'5"
    Current weight: 160
    Challenge weight: 140
    Ultimate goal weight: 130
    My motivation: to improve my digestion and overall health. To feel and look better.
    My plan: log everything every day, stick to my calorie goal, increase intake of vegetable and fruits. Increase intake of fiber.
    My workout is going to be mainly walking ( I aim for at least 10K steps every day) and a program called Restore Your Core. I had a very traumatic fall last May and tore several ligaments in my knees and feet. I must have also sustained some kind of injury to my pelvic floor because it seems that after that fall I started having sneeze pee. Restore Your Core is helping with that and I am still working on restoring range of motion to my knees, feet and hips.

    Height: 5' 5"ish
    Current Weight: 238.4 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 160
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 150
    My Motivation: I am currently not feeling all that great about myself, both physically and mentally. I have also been experiencing some health concerns that I am hoping I can minimize or eliminate. I just want to look and feel healthy, and live a long life watching my children grow.
    My Plan: Working in more walks throughout the day, develop my running stamina by training for a 5k, get involved in some toning workouts, hopefully move out of my comfort zone and join a Tabata class and DEFINITELY less binging on snack foods and develop better /healthier eating habits.

    Current Weight: 329.7
    Challenge Goal Weight: 290 (Out of the 300’s)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 170
    My Motivation: I’ve been on this roller coaster for a while, I’d like to finally get off. But honestly, I have a 10 month old son who will be turning 1 in April, and he’s busy. I want to not only be around for him, but I want to be engaged with him away from the couch or bed. Additionally, I’d like to have more selections for clothes and get outdoors more. I’d love to go on a long hike or get on a roller coaster! 
    My Plan: Continue to work with my dietician, track foods, working out 3 days a week.

    Name: MJ
    Age: 47
    Height: 5'6
    Current Weight: 168 (today!)
    Challenge Weight: 145
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135
    My Motivation: I'm not getting any younger! This history of yo-yo dieting has to stop! I've always been physically active, but I am feeling the weight on my body more. I recently started karate with my 16 year old and I can feel it, the good and the bad. I want to progress injury free which means less weight on this body! I also want to grow old without being so hung up on my weight loss failures!
    Plan: Continue with my karate and fitness classes and keep tracking. Tracking everyday is my weakness that I plan to overcome! I was also thinking of doing an online mindful eating program on the side. Anyone ever take such a program?

    Age: 39
    Height: 5'4
    Current Weight: 145
    Challenge Goal Weight: 130
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 125
    My Motivation: Got married in the summer and was overweight in the pictures so I realized that I needed to make some changes. I would like to get fit for summer and ready for a possible trip to Vegas.
    My Plan: Eating high protein and tracking calories, working out each day for an hour before work and fitting in exercise when I can. Also trying to avoid junk food at work and alcohol and the weekends. Even a couple drinks can add up fast!

    My motivation: In November, I decided to get serious about my weight because I didn't like the way I looked in pictures. I've been pretty consistent thus far, and I'm planning to keep it up because I have four weddings between late Spring and early Fall and I'm in two! I plan to look good in those pictures! ;-)
    My plan: Stay on top of my calorie counting, start a 10k training program, and continue with Jillian Michaels dvds. (I've been on a JM roll and just did her Ripped in 30 twice. Now I'm onto 6 week 6 pack!)
