I'm looking forward to this challenge and I like being given exercises to do daily in addition to my regular workout routine!! Let's do this!!

Hi Jessica!

Jen here. I'll be 28 9/19. I really want to loose 20lbs by my birthday. I've already lost 6, so I'm going to work hard on getting those extra 14;bs off! I got married 10-10-10 to the love of my love and certainly a gift from the Lord. we're looking to start making a family next year. So, I need to get MOVIN' on this weight loss stuff so I don't use the "eating for two" excuse and gain more weight. I'm so excited to be here and to meet you all! Lets do this!!

To introduce myself-- I'll be 27 in October, I've been married almost 2 years, recently graduated with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, no children yet- just a cat and a 6month old puppy I really enjoy running and going to the gym with my hubby. (just gotta peel myself off the couch after work)

I joined MFP because it looked like a neat app on my phone and I was looking for a way to track not only calories but fat, carb, protein as well. I just discovered the website yesterday and am SUPER PUMPED about the August challenge and having a team to be accountable to/for!

Weight history-- I ran track in middle and high school then went off to college where I gained the terrible freshman 20. My senior year, I lost the weight while training for a marathon and got to my lowest weight at 134. After college/ marathon training, I got out of the running routine and put the weight back on. (ugggg) I feel like I've been battling 150 for 4years and I'm really tired of the ups and downs (both on the scale and emotionally). I want to re-discover that energetic runner-chick I was back in 2006 and get my body and my confidence back!

I'm enjoying reading everyone's introductions. Its nice to "meet" everyone!

Looking forward to all the motivation from our AWESOME TEAM!

INTROS::

My name is Yesenia but I go by Jessie. I'm 33 and a single mom of an active 9 yr old. I used to be very active as I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps. I got out due to an injury I was unable to recover in time. Since then I had my son and well as you may guess, I pretty much let myself go. Over the past few years I tried almost every diet available and would lose weight here & there but as always, gained it back & more. I finally decided enough was enough!!!!! So here I am... I am DETERMINED to shed this weight, THIS time for GOOD!!!!!! I look forward to working with you all!!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!!!

HI Everyone,
My name is Jeannette. I'm 41, divorced and live in S. California. I have a long journey ahead of me but I am ready and will be successful! I had lap band surgery on May 23, 2011. On May 9th when I started my pre-op diet I was 415 pounds. Today I am 364. That's 51 pounds in under 3 months. For those who think having a lap band is the easy way out, it is anything but easy. It is not magic. It is a tool and it takes dedication to diet and exercise for it to be successful. I am very much looking forward to being on this team. This is my first challenge.

Start weight: 364
Goal weight: 350

I cant seem to be able to figure out how to add the banner. I cut and past the code under the image and it just ends up posting the code, no picture.

Can someone help?

Ok...I found the answer... when you cut and past the code be sure to change to lower case .

SW - 212.8
GW - 200

Hey everybody, I am so pumped up to start this. Well my name is Monique and I have been so encouraged MFPers. This is my first challenge. Stay on me and Let's go hard!!!

Hello everyone!
Nice to meet all of you via this challenge! i am so excited to get to work with all of you and add this chalenge to REALLY kick the @$$ out of August. This is so awesome and I really hope that I can keep up w/ everyone.

As for introducing myself, I am 19 y/o , soon to be 20 in October. I am also doing the Lean by Halloween Challenge and my goal weight by then is to be 135 #s. I am still trying to decide my goal weight for this challenge, as I did a couple of challenges and made some goals for my weight that I did not reach. Thus, I want to make my goal something attainable, otherwise it's not going to do me much good to have a goal. I work F/T and I go to school F/T but I am still on my summer break. If I've left anything else out then I will post it here soon. lol


As another side note, I want to let everyone know that I will be gone until Sunday night (my time) so if I've left anything out, or if I've not responded to anything it's because I don't have internet connection.
So see all of you lovelies soon!!!!!!! ;D

PS AWESOME banners!

ups and downs look scary. lol

If you can't do the burpees(ups and downs) feel free to do the modification. Its more important to keep moving then do something and hurt yourself.
