Hi Team! My name is Julie, and I'm from Oregon. I'm at my heaviest since my son was born nearly 24 years ago. I've gone through a couple gain and loss cycles in my adult life. I've lost the weight on my own and with WW. My motivation for WW is no longer there. I have not done well with self care the last 2 years. Over the last 2.5 months I've been turning that around. My exercise is consistent with BeachBody workouts, treadmill runs and walks with my dog. I'm taking days off from work when its' needed vs pushing through the fatigue (I'm a project manager at a hospital). I'm struggling with my "treats" (mostly evenings and weekends) and it's holding me back from losing weight. I'm 51, and not losing as quickly as I have in the past.

A little about myself. I've been married for 28 years and I have 2 grown kids, and a corgi named Wallace My daughter graduates from nursing school in April and my son with his Masters in engineering in June. I'm so proud of them both. As I mentioned, I'm a project manager. It's rewarding work, but can be high pressure at times. My husband has gone through a career change process over the last couple of years, and is doing much better with the change.

I'm here to cheer on the team and be part of a like minded group. I'm excited to celebrate successes with you.

Hello all,
My name is Melissa. I’m a registered nurse and nurse practitioner student who recently started losing weight to set an example for my patients. 10 years ago, I started MFP and lost tons of weight and then nursing school, stress, and nightshift made me go over my highest weight ever. I started this journey on Jan 18th at 250 lbs.as of last Saturday I weighed 239.6 lbs. I am ove the moon that I went to the 230s, let’s go to hit 220s. I can’t wait to be in ONErland! This is my second month with the biggest loser challenge.

Im sorry I will try to post this week but I might not get to since I’m currently on a cruise since Saturday. I weighed myself at the gym today and so far it looks like I’m 237 lbs. We shall see if it continues beyond the trip. Unfortunately I will not be logging my diet. But I will exercise. I did my exercise for the day today. Plus isn’t walking around the ship enough exercise. I am trying to eat a bit healthy or at least not indulge into much and lose all I have done! Anyways let’s rock this challenge this month. Welcome to all new members!

My name is Mary and this is my first time participating in a challenge like this. I have lost about 32 lbs and I have been struggling getting to my goal (now 15 lbs away) for a few years. I lose weight very slowly at a rate of .2 lbs per week. My weight last Wednesday was 167.2 and my goal weight at my doctor's office is 154 so it's 152 in the morning at home. I use to exercise daily on my treadmill but I haven't been exercising lately. I take care of both my husband's parents by taking them to all their doctor's appointment and I'm also my brother's medical POA because he has autism and has stage 4 kidney cancer. I have put on 10 lbs since he was diagnosed May 2021. I need to start making myself a priority again and make time to exercise again. I've been about 100-200 over my calorie budget on a regular bases since last May. I'm hoping this group will give me that extra motivation I need to make it to my goal weight and keep the weight off.
