Love it since I have a new year's resolution to keep for this year. I want to definitely see where I am by Christmas, yet I also don't want to lose sight of how far I've come along the way.

I'm Q. I'm 33, married with no kids. Love dachshunds. I'm also a figure skater. I've joined the synchronized skating team for this year. I'm on a low carb diet. This diet works for me, but it's not for everyone. I don't feel hungry. I have a lot more energy. I never suffer from carb comas. Sure, sometimes I just really, really want a piece of bread, but for the most part, the cravings aren't intense. My goal for this year is to get down to the weight I was when I got married. Then next year, aim for the last 20 lbs. My ultimate goal weight is 160.

Ok a little about myself my name is Shannon I am 34 have 3 children 14,10, and 7. They are SUPER active which leaves me little time.. I am married with a wonderful supporting husband who makes me attempt to run/job at 5 in the morning! I usually start to like him again about 6 a.m.!! I have been very heavy before and really dont know how big I was, but I was 205 when I started here.. I like to laugh alot and kinda find weird stuff funny!

Chris ~ I'm with you...same age group It might be alittle slower for us but we need to stay focused and positive! We can do it!!!!! Let's go!! After reading all the posts I think I'm going to go for a walk. I love this site!

Greetings!

I think I would like to try this challenge. I started MFP last year, did really well, but then had to fight to keep my school open, and ended up eating my way through a stressful school year. I am a mom of a fantastic 10 year old son, teach elementary school during the day and university at night. I would like to join this challenge because the accountability is what is going to get me through this. I am switching schools, been promoted at the university job, and want to make sure that I invest as much time into myself as I do the family and jobs that I love. For too long, I have put me last, and I am ready to make a difference in my own numbers.

Starting weight: 275
Current Weight: 268
Christmas Weight: 235

Feel free to friend me along the way. I know I could use all the support I can muster.... I am an expert in self sabotage.

Thanks!
Becca

Me me me me!!
I joined this week and after reading all these (closed) groups I've been desperately searching for one! What a great gift I can give myself!!
I'm a single SAHM (disabled veteran) with three great kids ages 10, 9 and 7. I gained 130 lbs after my accident and have tried other weight loss programs but never paid attention to labels, everything was set up for me!
I want to be a part of this group because I don't want to feel alone in my journey, I want accountability and I hope to make some friends along the way!!

I would like to join, I am a 40 year old nurse, married to an amazing man. I have a fab life, travel a bit and have a tendency to eat too much. It's 2am therefore I won't put my measurements in but weight wise.
221 pounds currently
I would like to loose 5lb a month
Therefore goal weigh
216

I'm in! My name is Lexie, 35, and married to my best friend and we have 2 wonderful boys, ages 4 and 8. I am a High School Math teacher and have been teaching for 13 years (wow, that is really adding up). My husband is in the Army, and just returned from a year deployment in May. During the first 3 months of the deployment, I gained closed to 30 pounds! I started weight loss journey in August 2010, and I have lost 69 pounds to date. It has been a slow process, but when I am focused and eating how I know I should be, I consistantly lose weight.

Growing up I was always busy playing sports and super active, but as I got older, everyone started coming before me. Now, I come first. My husband always tells me, "do what you have to do", and I am actually doing it now. I am relying more on him to help with the kids and telling the kids "No, I have to go to the gym." I am feeling better than I have in a long time, and I am super excited to see where I can be by Christmas time!

Starting Weight: 330
Current Weight: 261 (weekly weigh in on Monday, so I should have a lower starting weight )
Christmas Goal Weight: 210

Neck - 14.5
Bust - 47

HI, I'm in.

My name is Brenda, I just turned 43, and I live in Colorado. I work for a finance company (which means lots of stress and lots of sitting). I have been with my boyfriend for 15 years and we have three wonderful furry four-legged kids (Basset Hounds). I am addicted to running 5k's (more like wogging - I'm not super fast...). I do hope to run a half marathon some day.

I would like to be at or below 185 by Christmas.
