Hi im Becca, I have been with my BF for 2 years now. I am in college and my weight, which was never good to begin with, has increased due to stress and over eating, or just not eating then when I do I eat the wrong things. I am at my biggest now sitting, and staying, apparently, at 224. A plus is during my summer courses I met a Kinesiology major, which is the study of human movement or exercise so we have become pretty close and I have talked her into working out with me and helping me get into shape, other than round

, My main problem is I dnt no what to eat or when to eat it. I usually dnt eat until my stomach tells me hey loser u havent eaten all day, usually about 2pm, most of the time I only eat one meal a day, I know I know not good for me, I recently lost my job and now have all this free time while looking for one. So i have re-started myself on MFP and have began logging what I eat and what I am going to eat. As of today I am MAKING myself eat Breakfasy t, Lunch, and Dinner and i try to incorporate in some snacks well see how it goes! OH yea im 21, I DO NOT like to sweat! AT ALL! but im going to have to get over that, specially now since im working out with my friend. Ok think im pretty much through telling yall everything

sunyg · August 2011

I'm in! I've been stuck and this would definitely help me I think.

I'm Suny and I am a SAHM to 4 amazing kids (13, 10, 3 & 8 months). I was always skinny until I had my 1st daughter. I gained a ton of weight and it took me 3 years to lose it. When I did I got pregnant with my 2nd daughter. I lost that weight fairly quick because I went into it in really good shape. I maintained it until 4 years ago when I remarried to a guy who doesn't care what he eats and never works out. It's not his fault it's mine. I started skipping work outs and eating what he was. I then got pregnant with my 3rd child and for a year I was in some kind of fog. When I woke up I started to work out again and was 15 pounds from my goal weight when I got pregnant again. This time I ate better and started working out as soon as I could. I lost 30 pounds before joining MFP but for some reason since joining I can't get anymore weight off. I only have 20 pounds left to go.

Anybody feel free to add me. I can't wait to get started!

Hi everyone!! *waves* I'm Tiffany, from Wisconsin. I am in love with my Mr. Greg and he is absolutely wonderful. I am 24. I currently work for a nonprofit in the Community Relations department. I get to help plan and go to a lot of special events and fundraisers. I also manage the website, brochures, advertisements and all graphics! I love, love, love the Chicago Bears. I like to coupon and love to craft. I am also an avid shopper.

I have a double whammy when it comes to weight loss. I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and hashimoto's thyroiditis. Pretty much - I am insulin resisitant, have cysts on my ovaries and have an underactive thyroid. I have a really hard time losing weight. I am planning to see a nutritionist soon but I still have some more tests this month and am hoping to get on some meds for my thyroid asap. I know this is not an excuse but it makes my journey more of a marathon than a 5k. It is coming off, but very slowly! I'm still hanging in there though

My ultimate goal is to lose 130+

Looking forward to getting to know more wonderful MFP people :flowerforyou:

acoleman3 · August 2011

Hi all! I'm Amy - a wife of almost 12 yrs and a mother to 3 beautiful kids! They are Elijah - 10, Jadyn - 7 and my baby, Kendall just turned 5 last week.

Not sure where that time went. I hit 200 with each one of my pregnancies, and worked hard after each one to lose the weight. I'm currently at about 147 and would like to be around 130. I work full-time, and just started going to the gym on my lunch hours and also started P90X at home. My kids think it is fun to workout w/mom....which I guess is better than sitting in front of the TV vegging out. My nephew is getting married in October, so this challenge is right on time! Excited to get started and see everyone's progress!!

Delyla07 · August 2011

I am just now (after a month) really learing this sites potential. I am really excited to do a challenge! Feel free to add me! I need all the motivation I can get!

mtkautz · August 2011

Woop Woop!! I am so excited!!!

Measurements? I'm always curious.

I'm 5'2 1/2"
153lbs this morning
33" chest
26.5" waist
40.5" hips
21.75" thighs, at the fullest(fattest) part
16.5" calves
I am now in between a size 8 and 10 jeans, the 10s fall down and are a bit baggy... but if I want to wear the 8s out I have to wear them for at least a couple hours so the stretch a little bit to be comfortable and not squeeze all my love handles over the top!

I started, in March 2011, at 176lbs
38.5"chest
32"waist
45" hips
23.5" thighs
(I dont know what my calves were here)
size 12 jeans (tiiight)

at 190lbs I was in a size 16.

p0pr0cksnc0ke · August 2011

Currently I am 202 (my personal weigh in days are wednesdays so hopefully that will change.
My measurements are in my signature ( I was going to do them monthly.. but I can change that per challege rules

I am in a 14 (tight) but a 16 is too big. I hate being in between

sorry, forgot, I am 5"8

Alittle bit about myself,
well I'm 25, 5'4 (1/2). I currently weigh, 176lbs and would like to get down to 135lbs. Thats my target for christmas, that way there will be a new me for the new year! I was in a 4 year relationship that just ended

but I will use it as a motivation to get back to my sexy self and become a skinny b*tch!
I am actually also interested in behavioral analysis and forensic psychology, I studied psychology in university. I plan on becoming a police officer and the only thing thats really stopping me is cardio, I need to run a 1.5 mile in around 11 min and do a obsticle course that involves a 4 foot wall, stairs, weights, and a 150 lbs dummy drag in 2 min and 42 sec.:noway: I was about 5 sec off the last test run I did but since I injured my knee so I am getting the strenght back and still worried that I will reinjure it. I wear a 12 but my butt and legs are the main reason, pants don't fit properly, they are always buckling at the top, or slide down and I'm constintly picking them up. I also just found out that I weigh more than my mom which is depressing to me, I am a couple inches taller than her but she carries the weight differently than I do I guess.

Onetwo_bre · August 2011

Hi!! Please count me in, I would love to be a part of this, and to feel that it will help remain accountable to myself and all of you wonderful ladies

A little about me:

I am 5'4", 25 years old, and my MFP SW is listed as 165.0lbs. My HW overall was 188lbs. I have gotten rid of 23 lbs total, and I am going to keep on trucking :] I am a full-time college student studying Biomedical Engineering. I am also in a sorority (SK~One Heart One Way~ALL DAY EVERY DAY), which is very time consuming, however, this upcoming school year I am going to be playing competitive sports for us (football-fall, volleyball-winter, and softball-spring), which allows me to multi-task. I am going to try to maintain my activity level, that I have cultivated this summer, throughout the school year, and I will add the sports in on top of that, as I know the closer you get to goal, the harder you have to work to get there. I am very excited about this website, and now this challenge, as I have been overweight and under-active since 2004, and I am tired of it. I want to be able to run a 5K, and do a muddy buddy race series (Run/MTB in rough terrain) as well as just feel more energetic, and be healthier overall. I am looking to become fit, active, and to eat healthy. It is time to change my lifestyle (and the lbs lost doesn't hurt either ^__^ )

I know you girls will push me to make myself better, and I hope that I can do the same for you.

Looking forward to the blood, sweat and tears... Brianne

adventuring · August 2011

I'm up for it! I love challenges.

cmsiemsen · August 2011

I'm Tina, I'm 22 years old and have struggled with my weight for ...years. My self-body-image has never been healthy. I either think I'm bigger than I am, or smaller. I'm 5'5" and currently 180. My highest weight was this past January at 209. Since then, I've decided that I wanted/needed to get back into shape. In March I dropped five pounds using MFP with my parents. Then the end of the semester came, I got busy and tired and gave up. In early June I started taking my health more seriously and started using MFP again. I've been going strong since!

I'm a psychology student, getting my bachelor's degree in December... then it's preparing for med-school! I plan on becoming a Psychiatrist & working with those that have addiction disorders (alcohol/drugs/eating) and other severe mental illnesses. Uhm... I'm vegetarian, a huge fan of film, literature, music, other art. Big people person. I am the oldest of four children and am the first person in my family to get a bachelor's degree.

My goal weight is 135. I haven't been that weight since I was.... 15? Long time. I had already grown to full-height then. So! This is a life-changing thing for me. It's a lifestyle, not a diet.

MarandaPanda86 · August 2011

I'm Maranda, I'm 25 and I'm a graduate from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. When I couldn't find a job and a great scholarship came my way, I went back and am now in nursing school! I see a lot of nurses/nursing students on this thread

I graduate in May and can NOT wait to not be poor lol.

In addition to school, I work two jobs. One in a local hospital as a Nurse Intern and also in a Psychiatrist's office. I love mental health and my boss is the best guy ever. I will be continuing my education and going for my Nurse Practioner's license after I graduate and am kind of being pushed into Psychiatric Nurse Practioning (by the boss). Not 100% on that yet.

Anyway, no children but I have a boyfriend of 6 years who makes me happy

Need to lose this weight to look good in future wedding shots! And also for future babies. My problem is I like food and I eat out of boredom. Need to revise my thinking for sure. My HW was 277 and I'm currently at around 254, I haven't gotten to exercise in about a week because of a knee injury at the hospital

which has made me fall off the wagon only slightly... But I gotta get better to lose this weight!

Alright b*tches? Let's get skinny

mtkautz · August 2011

http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/nutrition/Make-Weight.html

I found this article... pretty interesting insight into choosing a goal weight... rather than just a number that sounds good!

According to this, my "ideal performance weight" 120.6 lbs. Now, If I take into consideration that I am above 10 percentage points above my ideal body fat %... my ideal performance weight is 135.4lbs. Either I would be happy with! Or.. I'll work on getting to 135.4 first and then work my way down to 120.6

Mios3 · August 2011

Hi everyone, I'm Naomi. I have been waiting to to this so I could weigh in today Lol. I have always felt FAT even when I was younger. Looking back now I think I was healthy, not fat not thin...Anyways I really started gaining weight after the birth of my first daughter. I went from 132 to 165 and that was after her birth. I have three kids 14, 10, and my baby boy is 3. I seemed to manage to get the weight off after the pregnancies but as soon as I got pregnant again it went right back up and even higher than before. I am through having children and feel like it is time for me to get it off and keep it off this time. I am 5'1 and my starting and highest weight ever was 185 or maybe it was 188 can't really remember as I dabbled in this last year lost 20 lbs and kept it off. Came back in January this year and am ready to finish this! My current weight as of today is 147. I am ready for this challenge so BRING IT!!!

kell_riley · August 2011

Hey! I'd love to join the challenge!

I'm Kelly, at the moment I'm a sahm I have two boys 8 and almost 2, I'm also studying part time and hoping to go to uni next year to study midwifery!
I'm 27 and have always been the 'fat friend' in my eyes anyway! I've always struggled with my weight, I think my he was around 180ish lbs after having my first son, I got down to around 140lbs and maintained then put on weight and got pregnant again. After having my second son I was at 171, I've been on many diets and tried lots of exercise I've just never really gotten into anything until this year!
I joined the gym for the millionth time in Jan, but this time something's clicked and I'm really enjoying exercise! I regurlarly run 5k's with my dog, and ATM am doing 30ds.
I have a holiday with my fiancee in a couple of weeks time, I'm hoping not to put on lots of weight, we are going without the children so I'll defiantly be able to get some exercise in to help!

Feel free to add me, I'm always open to new friends! And motivation!
