I am definitely joining this group again. I looked forward to the weekly Wednesday check -ins the past 2 months and I lost about 5 pounds. I'm on vacation now so I'm not putting my numbers up yet, but wanted to make sure I didn't lose the post. Will check in tomorrow or Thursday.
Good luck everyone!0 -

Hi, my name is Renee and Im married with 2 toddler boys. Ive been struggling lately with my weight loss journey. In June, I was 8lbs away from my goal weight but lost motivation and gained 10lbs back. Then, I went on vaction for 3 weeks in August and gained 10 more. So, Im back trying to get this weight off once and for all. By the end of this challenge, I hope to be back to the weight (167) I was before I got off track at the beginning of the summer.

Hi everyone,
I am Nat, This will be my second time with Dawn's group
I have four children, 3 boys & a girl, I am married & have been for over 3 years now. I put all my weight back on again with my 3rd son (6yrs between 2nd & 3rd boys) then fell pregnant with my daughter (15 months between them) put more weight on. I decided i needed to get fit to keep up with them all. My weight has been up & down since i started on mfp. I will get to my goal weight no matter how long it takes me.

My name is Britta. I'm married with a 3 (almost 4) yr old daughter. I'm a college student and I work part-time as well. I did 2 sprint triathlons this summer and am doing my first 10K November 5th. I am also involved with many student orgs and do tons of community service projects. I'm super busy and only getting busier so it's been a tough few weeks adjusting to being back in school and doing the balancing act again after a nice summer break.

Hi! My name's Alison. I work full time and am also getting my Master's Degree. I did really well on the last challenge and am hoping this one treats me just as well. I just got back from a vacation so I'm ready to work hard. I usually get lazy over the winter and gain weight so I'm hoping to really get a great foundation of exercise going during the fall and early winter. I really love the P90X exercise regimen (sp?) so that's what I try to keep up on. I also like to go biking and take walks around the lake with my boyfriend.

To reach my goal I will have to lose around 1.2 lbs per week. This may be a bit high, but I think I can still do it. I was down to 143.8 just a couple of weeks ago and my exercise and eating has kind of been off kilter since then. So I think I'll have a couple pound loss the first 2 weeks to get me started.
Good luck everyone and can't wait to see everyone's first week weigh-in stats!0 -
