Hi Everyone! I'm Kim, a soon to be 29 year old wife, mother, and executive. I am looking forward to this challenge, and using it as the final push to achieve my goals.0

So excited for this! Definitely need the motivation, especially since I'm going home to good old TEXAS where everything is bigger, better, greasier, and more fattening if you eat too much

Hi everyone,
I'm Andrea, mom to a daughter who is a senior in HS, and a 5th grade daughter. I lost 30 lbs before joining, but recently hit a wall because I got a stress break (most likely due to switching from indoor soft track to hard pavement) and I redeveloped some bad habits. Cast is off and the challenge will be a great way to re-motivate me back to good habits. This challenge sounds like fun and just what I need!! Can't wait!0 -
Eats with a fist, don't be mad that I left WMR and started the team thats going to win this thing))) just kidding, SERIOUS good luck to you&gary and the rest of the team....anddd GO TEAM THIN TO WIN 0

hey guys
i'm excited for this challenge! i really need some extra motivation to exercise in August cuz i don't think i'm going to have pool access after this weekend :sad:
i hate to sound shallow or anything, and i'm NOT losing weight to look good, i'm doing it to be healthy....but being heavy my whole life, i've always had this dream about going back to school in september looking awesome cuz i lost a bunch of weight over the summer. i'm done with school, but i WORK at a school now, and even though i lost about 50lbs by June, no one really noticed, probably because i had to wear the same 2XL staff shirt and way too big pants. i'm hoping that with my new clothes and the new LARGE staff shirt that will be waiting for me on the first day of school, i can surprise a few people.
how cheesy does that sound?? lol :blushing:0 -
Hi all. I am a 29 year old wife and mom. I am getting back on track after a bit of a plateau and subsequent fork in my weight loss journey. I am so excited for this challenge and am so glad to meet all of you :flowerforyou:0

to craft338: I don't think it sounds cheesy or shallow at all. Congrats on your progress already 0

Hi to all my teammates! I'm Carla, 47 years old, gramma to 6 beautiful children, and mom to 3 grown children. I'm down 100 lbs. from my heaviest weight about 6 years ago, but recently got energized to go for the next 100. I'm working out 3 days a week right now, but looking forward to getting an extra push to try to up my motivation. Can't wait to get started!0

Hey everyone! I'm Rebecca and I'm so excited to be part of this team!! I'm 39 and have two boys, 18 and 16. I've been married for 21 years (yes I started young but I've know my husband for 37 of my 39). I turn 40 over Labor Day weekend and I'm running the Disney 1/2 to celebrate. I'd love to get a few more pounds off so my finish line picture is something I'll actually be proud of and not bury in a box like the rest of them.
Yeah team!!! Here we go on a grand adventure together!0 -
Hi all,
my name is Cindy, i am 46 and have been happily married 21 years. looking forward to this group and some extra motivation! i've been trying to improve my fitness for 6 months now and have succeeded in reducing my blood pressure and chosertol levels to normal (without meds), but need to lose some serious weight too.
love the Thin to Win name!.0 -
Hi all... I'm Jennifer and have the working out thing down (5-6 days per week, 60 min a time) but need help with eating the right stuff. I know what to eat, I just don't eat it... I've been losing the same 3-5 lbs for almost 3 months now!!! UGH!
After 2 miscarriages 3 years ago, I had a baby boy who is my life but depression weight plus pregnancy weight and well you get the idea. So... I lost the pregnancy weight but still need to lose pounds I gained during a weighty depression. Would love to join the challenge to motivate me to be fit, eat right and lose finally!0 -
hey guys I don't know if this is the appropriate venue for this question, but I was wondering if any teammates had recipes (with calorie counts) for a "green" smoothie? I've been looking at them lately and I think if you really can't taste the greens it would be a great way for me to get nutrition in, since I don't really eat vegetables.0
-
What kind of challenges are they going to be? I do not have a gym membership or exercise equipment, I just go walking for 60-90 minutes several times per week.0

@ monkeyhugger, so sorry but this is a closed group for right now BUT the august challenge itself is still open! Gary6030 is still accepting people for the challenge and forming teams!!!!!! hope you join!0

good Morning, sorry didn't say hello yesterday! My name is Tricia and im at least 100 lbs obese. I gained 80 lbs with my pregnancy 9 yrs ago and then gained and lost some more over the years. I joined MFP in the beginning of june. The healthier eating isnt that big of a change. My husband and I love to cook and especially find new fun low cal things to make. what gets me is the exercising. As an ex Army soldier I am really disgusted with myself. So I saw this challenge and thought that hopefully this will jump start me back into it!
This is my first challenge on MFP and I hope I do you all proud. Might need reminders ever so often lol.
PS. My usual weigh in day is Monday, Carmcd. Do I need to weigh on Sundays for this for the team??
Thanks and GO Team Thin to Win!!0 -
