    Well hi everybody! My name is Karin and I am from central Florida. I am 40 something (who can remember anymore?) :bigsmile: and a mom to 4, ages 24, 21 (serving in the USMC), 14, and the princess is 8. I am an accountant for a small action sports marketing company. The office gets lonely at times. I stay busy as a Brownie leader and a PTO volunteer at my daughters school.

    I have lost 33lbs but it has been a snails pace getting there. :grumble: I figure as long as I keep going down and getting healthier, then I am doing the right thing. I would like to lose another 35lbs. That is probably a little above my weight chart but I have been there before and looked darn good (I can say that now but not so much at the time).

    I walk or slow jog 4 mornings a week. Planet Fitness is opening by me in late August and I am thinking of joining. I have had gym memberships before and would go for a few months and then burn out when I was not seeing the results I wanted. As I said though, I am learning that this a a slllloooowwww process for me now.

    Nice to 'meet' all of you and looking forward to a great challenge! Please feel free to keep me motivated! :drinker:

    Oh yeah, my starting weight is 196.4 this morning. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: and since I weigh on Friday's, I guess that is what I have to go with instead of the 195.0 I was last Friday. But, {sigh} I ate out last night and I am hoping it is just water. This up and down thing is the story of my life. :sad: :sad:

    I'm Kim, 29 years old, from Atlanta, GA. I'm an executive assistant and I've spent way too much time at the office and in the car sitting on my bum and adding padding to the seats! I started MFP when my fiance proposed back in May and I realized I don't want to be in a size 16 wedding dress -- I WILL be in a size 6 (or less)!!!!! I love to horseback ride (hunt/jump) but have never had the confidence to compete in a show. My fiance has been teaching me to play tennis with him and I'm hoping to get better. I've lost 21 lbs so far, am just really getting started with 30DS and hope to be able to join my fiance and play doubles tennis with him by next year and MAYBE compete in my first horse show around that time, too!

    Starting weight: 184.8

    I'm Kellie... I'm 34, I live in Indiana, and I'm a technical writer (i.e. sedentary job!). My husband and I don't have any kids yet, but I'm VERY tired of having more fat on me than someone who's had 5 kids! I decided to join MFP last week when my piano teacher told me that she had just joined and loved it, and I've been following it ever since. My husband loves me as I am, but he wants me to be healthy, so we are both trying to be more active and eat the right kinds of foods. Portion control is my watchword on this challenge, because that is by far the hardest thing for me. Yes, I'm that person who could even overeat on vegetables. :(
    I know it might sound weird, but the thing I'm most looking forward to about losing weight is being able to run long distances... like a half marathon or something. My husband has run three marathons and I feel like a loser because it hurts my knees to run more than a few hundred yards right now, and that just annoys me. Nobody should be too fat to run, for crying out loud! Anyway... thanks for all the friend invites. Nice to meet you all. :)

    Hi Gimme the Skinny!

    My name is Christin and I am 28yrs old. I live in South Shore area of Mass. A stressful bump in the road of life knocked me clear off the road of fitness. I miss working out and playing sports but finding time has been hard. No time to work out and emotional eating fueled by the guilt of gaining weight and not working out continues to add on the pounds, stress and anxiety. I am hoping to get back on track for real this time, making me a priority. I have great support from my family and my boyfriend. My dog, Milo, keeps me company on many walks. I am really looking forward to this competion and hope that the team spirit will be just what my spirit has needed to take off. :)

    Let's go get'em team!!

    Christin

    Hello Team.....I am Kim and I am from Kansas City, Missouri. I work for the government full time(been there 20 yrs) and then part time at Kohl's(been there 1 yr) to pay for my son's college education. I am 44 yrs old, have 1 son (18) and a step-son (22). Actually, the step-son isn't really official until we finally have the ceremony. LOL We have been dating for 10 years and he proposed to me 2 years ago on Aug 1st. We will be getting married with-in 45 days if all goes as plannedl. Can't say the exact date yet cuz we haven't decided for sure. Most of the weight that I have lost was lost before I joined MFP. I joined to try to get me moving in the right direction again. I haven't moved far but I can say I haven't gained. lol I am hoping this challege will be just what I need to start on the downward slide again.

    Challenge starting weight 230.....at the dr office today.
