Hello Team
My name is Tiffany and I am 21 years old and I have a 7 month old. My heaviest has been around 180lbs from taking the depo shot after a year of taking it, I stop using it I went down to about 158 by that time I got pregnant with my daughter and I had gained close to 30 pounds. 7 months postpartum and I am 163.8. My goal is to be at 130, it is going to take alot of motivation and hard word to get where I want to be. But it is time to be comfortable and healthy.
So let the challange begin, I am soooo ready 0 -

Hello everyone! I'm Cheryl, I'm a 43-year-YOUNG, single mom of a teenager. She's a tremendous blessing and keeps me on my toes! In May, as I approached my 43rd b-day I knew I had gained too much weight and yet didn't know what to do. I didn't own scales and I stopped in a local truck stop to use their 25-cent scales. I saw a number that I hadn't seen since I was pregnant.... 181lbs & that was eons ago (pregnancy that is)! I served in the Army for three years and I am well aware of how to train my body to eat right and to exercise, yet, I had become lazy and I actually think I had gotten to a point of not caring. I was disappointed and ashamed of myself. A friend of mine was already using MFP and suggested it to me. I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to try it. MFP has been another blessing. I am a firm believer in hard work and dedication because I have seen the results in my clothing and in the way others look at me with disbelief and shock when I tell them how much I've lost since mid-May. I like being accountable to my actions so that I stay on track and MFP is perfect for that! I'm very much looking forward to our challenge and working toward my goal of 145... or 140... or 135... :-) I'm currently at 166.8 and aiming for 166 by this weekend's weigh in. I'm in it to win it!0

Nice poster Virgo!!!! I think that says it all!
My name is Kari and I'm a teacher who has worked hard to lose about 30 lbs and has about 15 more to go. I've fallen off the wagon in the last couple of weeks but I'm ready to get back on and push through! Lori... lead the way!!! What a great team leader! We are so lucky!!0 -
Okay I have some time to post my intro now lol.
My name is Amanda, I'm newly 23 years old. I'm expecting #4. I used MFP during pregnancy #3 and postpartum (lost all baby weight plus 22lbs in 6 months! thanks MFP!)
My DR closely monitors my calories. I'm going to be honest here, I eat HORRIBLY without MFP. That's why I use it during pregnancy, to keep myself accountable, to keep the weight gain in check, etc. I usually keep my calories on maintenance but don't usually use all of them since I find myself filling up on more fruits and veggies versus candy...(I have a serious candy addiction). Today I decided to attempt to cut out Diet Coke, which is going to be very difficult for me.
I also work out through my whole pregnancy, I found it REALLY helped my energy level last time. Can't wait to get started guys!! 0 -
Hi Everyone! My name is Tanya and I have never had issues with my weight until I was 25 and then little by little it creeped up on me. I also never exercised until now. My heaviest has been at around 160 and I have been yoyoing back and forth for a while. I know this is a lifestyle change and I want to eat right and exercise and stick with it throughout my life beacause its not just to loose weight but to stay healthy too. So far I have lost 5 pounds by eating right and walking/ doing the wii Biggest Loser almost everyday. I hope to get down to 135 and then we shall see.0

Hey Team!! I'm so excited..
I'm 23 years old and am getting married on 9/17/11. I am currently 141 and hope to be down to 130 by the wedding. I joined MFP a few months ago but just started using in this week and I must say it is SUCH an inspirational site because of all the wonderful people. You guys are all so motivational and I can only hope that I can help to motivate you as well.
Can't wait to get to know you all better..
Lori, thanks for being our Captain.. you seem like you make a great one!
Now let's kick butt!!!!!
