Hi everyone! Thanks for the add
Really looking forward to the next 12 weeks!
Name: Lauren
Age: 36
Height 5'6
Current weight: 188lbs
Challenge goal weight: 168
Goal weight: 145
Goals & motivation:I really need to start taking care of myself over the last year I've gained 20lbs at least, I have a few health problems cropping up (hypothyroidism, rosacea, joint pain, chronic inflammation on blood results depression, high blood pressure for the 1st time I'm always on the low side) These health issues are beginning to scare me so I want to get on with loosing weight as I think half of my issues are due to not looking after myself physically or mentally. I just feel rubbish0 -
Hi everyone, very glad to find this group, thanks for letting me join!
Name: Jen
Age: 43
Height: 5'8"
Current weight: 195
Challenge goal weight: 185
Goal weight: 170 (?)
Goals: Keep focused during the summer, when it's very easy to get off track (too much fun at the lake house). Keep up with my weight lifting, strengthen my hips, gluts and lower abs.
Motivation: Currently I'm in PT because my knee caps aren't tracking properly, (due to weakness in my hips, gluts and lower abs), and I'd really really like to get to pain free. I also lost 30 pounds last year, then took a break and maintained (actually maintained, yeah!), now I'm ready to lose the next 30 to 40. I'm already down 10, so I'm making the right progress!0 -
Hi all! I'm so glad to have this group to keep me motivated this summer.
I'm 8 weeks out from my second left ACL repair
My first one 2010 skiing, this time while playing USTA tennis.... I tore it in Jan and couldn't ski/play tennis so I lost a lot of cardio and despite weight training the weight crept on at a 1lb/month. Last month was just pure rehab and now I'm back on the bike and elliptical!! Rehab of a second ACL is now a 9 month project....I think a group would be a fun thing to try and keep me from getting discouraged.
Name:Laurie
Age: 49
Height: 5ft 2in
Current Weight: 118 -121lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 110-113 (my weight usually easily fluctuates 3lbs)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 108-111
Goals: Rehab left knee and be in "kick-*kitten*" shape for my 50th birthday (Nov) and ready to hit the slopes (Dec) and back playing tennis/USTA (Jan)
My Motivation: Never tear my ACL again!! Working on strength, hip alignment, balance. Lose the weight I've gained from losing all my cardio workouts so that I don't have the "matronly middle age waist" and my clothes fit. Skiing, tennis, mountain biking, hiking with family and friends!!1 -
Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be a part of this group. I have been looking from something to keep me motivated for the summer. Here is my introduction:
Name: Kourtney
Age: 37
Height: 5ft 5in
Current Weight: 178.8 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 163.8 lbs (1.25 lb/week)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs
Goals: For the month of June, I would like to be consistent in the following: 1) walk 30 minutes per day, 2) drink a gallon of water per day, 3) strength train 3 times per week, and 4) eat a paleo diet 80% of the time.

Name: Kate
Age: 29
Height: 5'5"
Current Weight: 179
Challenge Goal Weight: 168
Ultimate Goal Weight: 140-150
Goals: I've been meeting with a personal trainer every 2 weeks, so my biggest focus right now is consistency in getting to the gym!! Life tends to get in the way sometimes, so I'm trying to reset my mentality to accept that I need to set aside the time for ME. I've found that I enjoy strength training MUCH more than cardio, so I'm looking forward to working on my arms and core during this summer challenge!
My Motivation: Let's be honest, vanity plays a big part in weight loss for a lot of us. I want to be able to feel comfortable in my own skin without feeling the need to cover up with a cardigan (in this summer heat!!). I also have a 3 year old sun with endless energy that I need to keep up with.1 -

I like the idea of others keeping me accountable. Good luck to us all!1 -

Height: 5'4"
Current Weight: 159.5 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 144 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 138 lbs
Goals: Eating, to focus on my diet to elimate anything I know I shouldn't be consuming as my mobility is limited. Physically, To develop strength to walk for 20 mins and climb stairs and focus on my rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Mentally, to go easy on myself and stay positive the days I am having pain and allow myself time for healing. I have lost 24.5lbs since January, so I know despite my physical restrictions, it is possible.
My Motivation: I had a full knee reconstruction in feb, and will need the other knee reconstructed also due to an accident I had last year, so I want to be in the best shape possible for the 2nd surgery at the end of summer (as I know what to expect).
For anyone new, this group is amazing and supportive, for the returning ladies, I look forward to encouraging you on your next step of your journey xx
Hi Kal, welcome back. ALL GOOD GOALS! Keep at it 0 -

Height: 5-4
Starting weight: 132.5
Challenge Goal weight: 122
Goal weight: 120
About me: I'm a wife and stay at home mom of 3. I enjoy country living and love Jesus. For exercise, I like biking, jogging, and strength training.
Goals: Like everyone else, I want to lose some extra weight, feel better, fit into clothes more comfortably. Just as much as the physical challenges, I want to overcome my mental barriers of fear of this being too hard and failing and the doubt and withdraw that comes with that. I desire to face my weaknesses and apply what I learn to other areas of my life.
Motivation: Accountability here, for sure! To overcome daily and throw off the fear and doubt that hinder me and weigh me down in life....and of course, to feel and look better in my clothes, like shorts and swimsuits
Thanks for hosting this group!! I've never committed to a group like this before but am very excited and hope to make some friends along the way!
Hi Bethany! Welcome! I am glad you are excited. We are here for you to help you reach your goals. YOU CAN DO THIS....AND YOU WILL0 -
