    Awesome! Thanks Amanda! My name is Kylie. I am 27 years old and have been married for 6. I have a son who is 3 1/2 and a daughter that just turned 2. As of yesterday, I weigh 155 and would like to be 149 by the end of August. :)

    I am really excited to "meet" you all! Good luck and let's kick some booty!

    ETA: My profile pic is from today. If you look at my pics, there is a pic from my side. (And also one of my handsome son and beautiful daughter!)

    Thank you Amanda! I'm excited for everyone :)

    My name is Angie. I'm 24 years old, living in California. Current weight 149.4, goal weight for end of August 145. Don't want to be too ambitious because I know how I am.. heh. I have been on MFP for about 2 and a half months, I really like using the App on my iphone. Glad I could be a part of this group, we can do this! :)

    Hi everyone!

    I'm too excited about this!! I'm 29 and from the UK so will probably be behind everyone else with regard to getting things done! lol
    I've been happily married for 3 years to my best friend and my starting weight is 251. My goal to reach by the end of August is to lose at least 10lbs which should be completeky do-able :)

    Looking forward to winning this challenge warriors!!!

    Hi Everyone! I'm so excited too!

    This is my first challenge and I think it's just what I need to get back into healthy habits. I started MFP in May and lost some lbs but got off course in July and gained them back. Ready to start anew and lose for good! I'm really looking forward to seeing what we can do this next month!! My SW is 174 and goal is 140. But for the month of August I'm going to try to lose 10 lbs. I figure if I put it down and tell all of you, it'll be good motivation. Best of luck to everyone!

    Thanks Amanda!

    Nice to meet everyone! My name is Melissa and I'm in California. I'm 27, married for 6 years and have 2 little boys (3 and 4 years old). My highest weight was 256 and I'm currently at 209.6. My August goal is to get below 200...for the first time in YEARS! So I will need to lose a little over 9 pounds, I know I can do it!

    Looking forward to cheering everyone on and making new friends :)

    Hello fellow Warriors,

    My name is Kylie. I am 24 years old and mother of two girls, an 11 month old and a 4 year old. My current weight is 158lbs and my goal for the end of August is to be 145lbs. It might be a bit of a stretch but my baby girl turns 1 on August 30th and would like to look and feel good for her party. I hope everyone is ready to work hard and have fun with this challenge. I can't believe that the OP (Original Poster) , Gary6030, has over 500 people participating in this challenge. That's so amazing. So let's get ready to kick so weight loss butt.

    Hello! I'm Sarah, I'm 22 years old, a manager at a fast food restaurant (which helped motivate me to lose weight, didn't want to fall into the stereotype) and engaged to a wonderful man who is out of the country for 4 months and our wedding will be soon after his return, so I want to surprise him!
    I've recently started the C25K program and am doing the Warrior Dash in September. The month of Ramadan starts, like, now, so getting exercise in will be a little bit more of a challenge but I am up for it! Looking forward to kicking butt in these challenges!
    Go team!

    It's crazy that there are two of us Kylie's on our team. I don't meet many Kylie's our age. There are a lot of them that are young, but not in their 20s! :)

    You all can do a great job! Nice to meet you all...feel free to add me as a friend if you haven't already!

    I know of two Kylie's our age. One I went to High School with and one I played sports with when I was younger. My mom said she got my name from a Soap Opera so I am surprised their aren't more of us because of that.

    Hello!!

    My name is Christina - i'm so excited about the August Challenge!! I almost skipped out on it, but fate intervened and here I am!

    My goal for the month is 10 pounds, but more than that - my goal is also to get involved with community fitness experiences and go beyond the work out videos in the living room (which are awesome...). New month - new goals - new start.

    Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

    So I was 307.2 yesterday and by the end of August I hope to be under 300 lbs which totally works and think I will probably do it since I have been aiming for 2 lbs a week so to counteract with my camping and consumption of beer during this camping trip upcoming I know I may not always read 2 lbs per week so lets go to lose to get me below 300 and I will be excited <3
    add me up if you havent already done so <3
