    Hi everyone!

    My name is Ariel. I'm 27 and I've always been slightly overweight. I had a heart problem growing up and wasn't able to be physically active. I'm able to now, and I get excited about trying new exercises and pushing myself to become stronger. :) I'm not sure I really have a goal weight in mind, just a physical fitness level I'd like to attain and maintain (that second part might be the hardest!).

    Looking forward to doing this challenge with all of you! Let's keep each other strong. :)

    Starting MFP: 170
    Current weight: 154.2
    Goal weight: around 145?
    Challenge goal: 149

    25th July FIRST DAY : 154.2 lbs
    1st August
    8th August
    15th August
    22nd August FINAL DAY

    Yesterday I went swimming, which was great in this ridiculous heat! Not sure if I'll swim, walk or run this evening.

    Hi all! Sorry to just now post, but my internet was funky all weekend (as were my eating habits!). I'm Leslie--a single, 29 year-old Coordinator of Writing in Richmond, KY. I lost about 35 pounds and have kept it off for over 2 years now. I would, however, like to lose another 20-25 pounds. As I lose wieght, I feel good, but I think I'm a little scared of the changes as I end up eating and gaining it back. Last week, for instance, I was down 4 pounds from my starting weight. I lost focus and let myself have late-night Mexican binges and worked out very little during the week. This morning, I was back up 1.5.

    I'm hoping this accountability to and support from the group will help me stay motivated.

    July 25th: 154.5

    Good luck today!

    Hi. My name is LaCosta. I'm 31 with 3 kids, 11, 8 and 17mon. I live in OK and work for Developmental Disabilities for the state.

    My last pregnancy was horrible and resulted in a one month hospital stay, a 27wkr that weighed 1.8lbs and a 30lb+ weight gain for me during her 3mon NICU stay.

    I tend to be an emotional eater. Exercise hasn't been a problem.. eating has. This sounds like the group for me!

    Did not start off well. Starting weight 220.5 (up from Friday)

    Planned on doing 30 Day Shred in the mornings and CArdio (running or bike) in the evenings. Major sinus headache this morning, so I did not get up in time to do it. But I still plan on 60 minutes tonight...

    Sorry but I didn't have a chance to introduce myself this weekend. But my name is Ashley. I am 25 years old. I recently got married and have put on a little weight since then. So I am hoping to lose those few pounds plus the few I already needed to lose. I am a secretary at an energy savings company so I sit most of the day which doesn't help with the weight. So I am hoping that this is going to help motivate me to add more exercise to my daily routine. Good luck to all of you! I know we can do this!

    July 25th- 155
