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: 3500 -
Hey everyone!!! I'm so excited for my first challenge!
CW: 174
GW: 167
Ultimate GW: 162
(non-rounded out numbers I know
)
I am 25 year old medical student! On my last year and SOO ready to start a pediatric residency next summer! I joined MFP this spring after gaining 15 pounds during my hardest year of school... this was on top of 5-10 pounds since my most active time in college... so with 20-25 extra pounds hanging on my hips, i felt terrible about myself, none of my clothes fit - and i felt like such a hippocrite talking to patients about weight loss. MFP has been great to me! I am 13 pounds down...
I live near Houston, TX with the love of my life! He works on an oil rig 1 month on 1 month off... so with him being gone now, I will have no distractions from meeting my goals! I'm really looking forward to challenging all of you!!!
**So with our calorie goals -- does this include exercise, or straight calorie goals (no add back)? I'll keep looking for the best way to post all of our info -- It should come up on the "news feed" as we log our exercise, and also "stayed under calorie goal" comes up...
I wish MFP had a little group spreadsheet we could edit (like a google doc ) 0 -
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 changeto lower case .

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!!!0 -
Way to go Jeannette. You are so right and I think you are approaching and doing the right things to get where you want to be. This journey is long and not a race. We are here to encourage and lean from one another! Now let's kick this out!!!0

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!

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.0 -

I was not sure but this a great idea.!!!! Thank you very much.
I am ready for tomorrow....I hope you are too. Gary asked those who wish to take a picture tomorrow and again at the end of the month. There might me a prize for the best transformation. Perso I won't participate since it probably won't make that much a difference. I just want to lose 4 pounds. but if you wish, just send me your before picture.0 -
Hi guys!
Nice to meet everyone!
I'm Renee.
I'm 41 and a mom of 2, a 17 year old boy and an (almost) 11 year old girl.
I work fulltime, and am enrolled in school in the fall....I need a specific course to apply for my Masters...it's a boring one, but has to be done!
I'm Canadian and I live in Newfoundland.....is anyone else here from Canada?
I am on day 13 of the 17 day diet (love it), cycle 1.
So far I have lost 10 lbs. It will slow down a bit now though so I have listed my goal as 10lbs for the month of August - fingers crossed!

First of all thank you Effervescent17 for making the banners! They are super cute!
I sent yanicka a message yesterday since I couldn't get to my computer, but I thought I'd go ahead and post my goals here today!

GW is 176 at the end of this challenge
I want to try to work super hard to get to 170 by 9-13. That's my 31st birthday and I would like to be able to fit into some of my old clothes by then.
To introduce myself, I live in Arkansas, I have four kids (11,9,7,5), I am ready for school to start-both for me and for the kids, I miss being in shape and being able to wear anything and everything!
I'm pumped about this challenge....not looking forward to the jumping jacks today though, since I've had four kids anything to do with jumping isn't so good on my bladder!0 -
Done with my jumping jacks! I broke it up...50 before the treadmill & 50 after. Feeling good! 0
