I'm Debbie and it looks like I am the oldest of the bunch at 55 <yikes> I just started my weight loss journey in May with another challenge and hope this one can be as successful. I can't run but hope to keep up with the rest of you and not let down the team.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

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 -
