I am Julie, one of your Team Captains. My counterpart and bestie is Beka, aka @Beka3695.

I am 38.. kinda dating someone in this very crazy pandemic. I also have an 18 year old senior that I feel so bad for during this. Born right after 9/11 and graduation during a pandemic.

I started my journey many moons ago. I was 237, got to 132 then got lazy and I am at 174.

May Goals:
-Every day that I continue to work from home, go walk/jog/run an hour at lunch.
-Log all calories before they even enter my mouth.
-Get and stay under 170.
-No grocery shopping unless its cheese, veggies, hummus or eggs (Sorry Beka, I forgot to say cheese too!!) This is to help clean out alllllllll the food that we have and to save some $$

If you have not already, feel free to friend me.

I’m Cindy, 60 years old and I live in Texas. I have two kids, 26 and 23. I started my journey at 237.5 and I’m now at 196. It’s been a slow go, but I’ve been battling some injuries that hamper my mobility. The past month has presented challenges, with my husband suddenly working from home. (He snacks all the time!) I’m up for the “use what food you’ve got challenge.” We just got a new fridge and everything fits differently in my new freezer so I need to “shop” the freezer first because it is packed!

Hello!

I'm Jen, 50 yrs old, three amazing adult children and two adorable grand babies. I have two silly rescued pit bulls and volunteer with several rescues in the area. I love all animals and nature. My kids call me a hippy dippy lol. I live on the coast in Virginia and love gardening, running, biking, lifting weights and yoga. And of course being on/in the water

Looking forward to making this journey with you all! I started in October at 224 pounds and am down to 183 as of now. Let's do this!

Hi everyone. I’m Diane, living in Indiana.

@peachplace I am also the mother of twins, except mine are 28 years old. I also have a 31 year old daughter. Everybody’s married and I have 8 grandkids between the ages of 7 and 1. When we all get together it’s wonderful chaos.

@iamworthy14 I can completely relate to what you said about not out exercising what you eat. I run, I bike, I workout, but I easily out eat all of it.

I was on MFP a couple years ago but took a break and tried some other things. I’m back because I miss the camaraderie and support on these team challenges. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
I’m currently at 216, I’ve spent the past couple years between 210 and 230. I have no plans of ever being back to 130 like when I was in my 20’s, but I’d sure like to be 170 by the end of this year. My goals for June:
1. Log every morsel no matter how good or bad.
2. Lose 8 pounds.
3. Workout before work 3 times/week (something I used to do but have really slacked off)

Hi everyone, I’m back after a couple of rough months away from logging and community. I’m 28, I live in Finland with my husband. Current weight is 218lbs, I’ve been yo-yoing between 210 and 220 for the last 4 years, once dipping to 200.

My overall ”end” goal would be to hit 169lbs, but I don’t plan on fitting that on my timeline in a while. I hope to be as close to the 200 milestone as possible by the end of the summer and become one with my new healthier habits so I stop yo-yoing, and from there I’m hoping to either start maintaining/gaining for a new person, or continue with a moderate weight loss until I start gaining that person. My husband and I are planning on starting to try for a baby at the end of the summer, as our first wedding anniversary is on August 31st and he wanted to first be married one year. That makes my weight loss goals a bit more urgent right now, as I’m currently not in a healthy weight for pregnancy.

With that, here are my May goals:
- complete food diary every day
- Go outside for a walk or run every day (Currently working remotely, so there’s nothing forcing me outdoors otherwise)
- Weigh in every day (I use the Happy Scale app and want to see trends)
- average at least 400 daily calorie deficit, preferably 600 per day
- have veggies, fruits or berries with every single meal (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner)
- Make meal plans before grocery shopping and stick to them

In terms of weight I’m hoping to lose 0.6kg, or 1.3lbs per week, but I want to do it through my healthy habits and not by forcing a number.

Hello Everyone
I'm Samuel 33 Year old Married to my beautiful Ella and father of 2 : Roy and Barry.
I used to be very active (Ex-military) currently I'm a software engineer who is only sport is to lift my kids up to the sky and going from my desk to the kitchen to make another coffee.
I gained over 30 lb in 2 years.

My goals are simple :
1. Start exercising
2. keep an eye on my calories intake
3. lose around a lb per week even though I sceptical about this last one.

my starting point is 216 lb and 5.7 ft
my goal by the end of August (my 4th anniversary ) is 187 lb (maybe 6 ft too LOL )

Total of 30 lb.

Well, not quite sure yet what I need to do. Typically I weigh on Thursday but am switching to Sunday for this challenge.

214.6. Do I enter this anywhere besides right here? Thanks!

@Beka3695 I would like to reset my SW at 172.1, I am starting over in May and looking for some serious progress.

I am lucky that I work for an essential company and can work form home. It is hard with kitchen right at your fingertips. I sit longer and work longer than before, causing a slow gain. Trying a new program that should kick start my progress, so tomorrow I start and looking forward to next weeks weigh in.
