Hi everybody! This is my first challenge on MFP and I'm excited to be here!
I live in Idaho with my husband and 2 dogs. We do anything and everything outdoors including kayaking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. I work for a vegetable seed company and am currently getting my masters in entomology! Pretty exciting but TONS of work. Last year my husband and I lost 50 pounds each before our wedding! We used MFP and I also read the Beck Diet Solution. This summer we ran our first 5k and I would love to make a 10k our goal for next summer. I've done a great job maintaining my current weight but have noticed I'm a little "fluffy" without the consistant exercise so I thought I should get myself back in the game and tone up!
GO RED!!

Woah, awesome results round one! Makes me excited!
Ok, my story
I am a 21 year old student (Senior, graduating in may... WOAH slow down life) in interior design at Purdue University. My future plans? No idea! I'm hoping to live somewhere in New York, I love that state. Suemar is my aunt, and she's pretty awesome herself (lol). I'm creative, spastic, and extremely busy! I'm looking forward to this challenge getting me back on track!
so for my fitness story (ohdear). I was a cheerleader all through school so I stayed pretty active. I was a 5/7, 125 lbs when I graduated, but when I got to college, I didnt know how to eat (mom always cooked well-rounded meals) and I surely didnt know how to manage my time wisely. I got dragged in to 'girls nights' which consisted of movies and binge sessions. I put on 30 lbs my freshman year, and 20 lbs my sophomore year. Junior year of college I got slightly depressed, I was 190, weighed almost as much as my father. I hated how I looked and felt, and found my fitness pal in december, after being asked if I had just had a baby. I knew I needed to do something. It's been a struggle, and as of May I had lost 30 lbs. When I went home for the summer I didnt have any access to a gym, I worked all the time (And I work fast food, with a free meal every shift) and put 7lbs back on. Since going back to college in august, I havent been able to get back on track, or even get my motivation back. So here's where this challenge comes in! Get me back on top of this!0 -
Hi all! I'm Claire, I'm an 18 year old student. I've been overweight since I can remember, though after a visit to the doctor over the summer, I realized it was time to change. I'm a freshman, and though it's been a bit hard, being away from home and all, I have been making progress, even if it's been reallllly slow. I was in Sexy in Six round one, and it was fantastic! I'm super excited for round two. Go team blue!0

Hello ladies,
My name is Christi, and I'm from Mentor, OH (east of Cleveland, right on Lake Erie). I am 5'1" and have lost 31 pounds since the beginning of May. I would like to lose another 20-30 pounds. I was always thin in high school and college. My wedding dress was a size 6, and I was happy with that. Then life really began. I was working six days a week for a public accounting firm, traveling a lot, eating out all of the time, and not exercising. During that time I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Between all of that, and my marriage falling apart, I gained a lot of weight. I wasn't happy about it (who is?) but I wasn't motivated enough to do anything about it.
My family booked a cruise the first week of May for next March. I said enough was enough and started MFP that week. I've logged in every day since. I've gotten active (currently on week 5 of c25k) and learned how to eat HEALTHY (veggies don't taste that bad after all!) I feel great, I am happier with how I look and I realize that I can do this!
Personally speaking, I am single and have two black labs - Chelsea (8 1/2) and Mindy Lu (almost 2). I am a CPA and work for a large financial institution in downtown Cleveland. I like photography and scrapbooking, and I love to visit the Ohio wineries. I will actually be going to my favorite one on Saturday for my 35th (gulp!) birthday.
I look forward to getting to know all of you fabulous ladies!0 -
Hi, I am Tanya. I am one of the new members. Super excited to be included in this challenge. I am 31 and tired of being over weight. I have struggled all my life with weight. When I was 17 I got down to 115. I quick gained it back after a devastating car wreck that I lost my dad in. I slowly gained all my weight back plus some. I ballooned past 240. I have lost down to my current weight. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, hyperpituitarism and PCOS the past 5 years so that helped get some off if of. I have been married twice and just got out of a 2yr relationship that I gave my all to. I am single and don't have any kids and want to take this time for ME. I want to feel sexy and confident....it has been way too long. My goal weight is around 120. LET'S GET THIS STARTED BLACK TEAM!0

Great job!!!! We're all gonna rock Round 2! (not as hard as Red Team is gonna....lol)
I'm Rita. I'm 38 going on 22...lol. I've lost 60 lbs so far but I still have a long way to go. I'm married and live in the Ann Arbor area (and am an OSU fan!!) I have a step son and 4 fur babies. I want to lose weight so we can conceive (well, LOTS of reasons, but that one has been on my mind today!) I have been making small lifestyle changes along the way, and have been doing well with them so far. I'm slowly working toward mostly clean eating and right now I am working on minimizing high fructose corn syrup products. This has felt like a long progress but sooo worth it! I had high BP and high cholesterol when I started and have managed to lower both to normal without medication. This has by far been the best decision I have ever made!0 -
Monday's QOTD: Since this is day one and we are 1/2 old members and 1/2 new, let's take this as our chance to introduce ourselves!
Hello out there Si6!!! My name is Kimberly and I'm 30-years-old. I'm a high school English teacher. I'm obsessed with butterflies. Have a dog named Radar, he's a crazy mess. Love my boyfriend, Brandon, and his beautiful 2-year-old daughter, Amethyst Rose (Ame).
Been doing this MFP thing since June. I've lost 25 lbs and I'm feeling pretty good about. I've made some fantastic friends. I've tried a lot of other things in the past: Weight Watchers, diet pills, fad diets, etc. So far, MFP has worked the best.0 -
MONDAY QOTD: INTRODUCTION

i lost 10 lbs last challenge and am so proud. my original goal was 12 lbs, BUT i will take 10. lol the last time i have seen a number below 150 on the scale was on my driver's license: 140. so i will be ecstatic when i hit under 150, WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY! YEAY!!!!
i am 25 and an elementary music teacher and this past february the teachers started a weight loss challenge (since MS is now #1 obese state in the us) and that's when i discovered MFP. this site and app has been a GODSEND!
i have a bf (which i usually diss b/c he does NOT show any support whatsoever for my journey) and a 2 y/o son, Chaz. since starting MFP, i've spent a lot more time with Chaz playing with him and doing the exact things he does: running, jumping, sliding, etc....whatever 2 y/olds do lol
i am hooked on "true blood." about to start season 4 as soon as it's available on netflix. i'm into twilight and harry potter and paranormal shows. i love singing, playing piano, and going to church
i'm only 30 lbs away from my goal weight of 120. still not sure if i'll look healthy at 120, but that's my aim so far. good luck everyone! and although i will miss my purple team
i must look ahead to the BLUE TEAM!
GO TEAM BLUE!!!!! WWWOOOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!!0 -
Monday's QOTD: Since this is day one and we are 1/2 old members and 1/2 new, let's take this as our chance to introduce ourselves!
Intro time!
So I am a 22 yo (soon to be 23 on Friday) veterinary student at Auburn. I never really gained weight during undergrad. I was on the collegiate equestrian team and competitively wakeboarded so I was always in shape to some degree, depending upon if it was in season or off season. I didn't really gain weight until my first year of vet school. We got together every night to study and would always snack on Oreos everytime we got together. Anyway I got all the way up to 162 after Christmas break and knew I had to do something. So I have lost 14 lbs so far. I am currently at 148.
This is where the hard part comes in. Eating healthy my body is naturally 153-155lb. So now, I won't be able to lose much more without some heavy duty working out. I have already been working out but I usually have to dedicate an hour-2 hours at the gym to get past this plateau. Trying to fit in 2 hours of working out when I got to school 8-5 and study from 5-10 is kind of hard but I am determined to make it happen!
I'm excited to see how far I can push myself and just how fit I can get! If anyone want to look at my diary and critique it you all are more than welcome. Oh yeah, GO YELLOW TEAM!!!!
Oh and I signed up for my first 5K in december, but am currently off my training routine after getting bucked off a horse and doing a front flip to the ground. But as soon as I heal in a few days it is ON!!0 -
Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
I chose mine because I am on the black team :bigsmile:. It is quill and ink because I like to write, especially poetry. My favorite profile picture, however, is the one of my boyfriend, me, and his daughter. It's only one of two pictures I have of all three of us together.0 -
Tuesday's question of the day
I chose my profile picture because I'm on the black team. I love to paint and I was going through Ghetty Images trying to find something I thought would be fun to paint and came across this picture, so I saved it to my laptop. When I found out I was on the black team, I thought it would be perfect, because I'm a little crazy, and look like a monkey nooow, but in 6 weeks I'll be some hot stuff 0 -
Tuesday's QOD:
I chose my profile picture for a number of reasons: I'm on the yellow team, it made me smile, and it reminds me of a button I used to have that said, "I's not fat, I's just fluffy!" Hoping to shear off this fluff! :laugh:0 -
oh great question!! This was one of my profile pics before, because it's my reward for my first goal!! I really really want biogel nails, especially in cherry red!! and then I ended up on the red team!!! so my pic = team spirit + reward
haha i hope it's not tooo creepy just seeing a hand

Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
I am on the blue team. The only time I drink fancy drinks like this is with my girlfriends. So my picture reminds me of my treasured time with the girls.0 -
Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
I searched for yellow on pinterest.com and this was the first image I connected with. I like Calvin and Hobbs. 0 -
Monday's QOTD:
I'm Kaleigh I'm a 21 year old college student and I'm running my first half-marathon on Sunday!! I'm working on becoming an endurance athlete and I'm starting crossfit and triathlon training as soon as I finish my half I have a boyfriend named Daniel who's a personal trainer and he's been incredibly helpful/supportive during this process. I'm ~150 lbs right now and I'd like to get down to 140, and eventually 135. For this challenge I'm looking to get down under 145.
Tuesday QOTD:
I thought this picture was perfect!!
1) It has a RED theme
2) It's very SEXY--I love the "Snow White"-esque symbolism. There's something very alluring and mysterious about it.
3) I thought the apple tied in really well with the HEALTHY lifestyle theme I'm trying to adopt.
Let's bring it, ladies!! 0 -
Hi all. My name is Courtney Im 21 and live in the valley in California. Ive been with my boyfriend for about 4 years now and gained most of my weight after our first 6 months together i fell and tore 3 ligaments in my ankle and wasnt able to do much of anything for about a year. i lost 25 pounds two years ago and fell of the band wagon and watched my weight creep right on up to about 205. im only 5'4 and thats on a good day so 205 was alot of weight for me. Over the last 6 months i have lost about 30 lbs. Its been slow but steady and im ok with it. im finally starting to love my body again. I like the way in look in clothes now and especially in pictures.
I choose my profile picture because i love mickey mouse. Im actually going to Disneyland next wed. so i wont be logging in for about 5 days!!!!! but im so excited. Sorry black team but im probably going to have a little bit of a gain that week lol i have a love affair with churros.0 -
Wed QOTD: Im posting a bit early because i have to work the rest of the day and then have school tonight. Ok soooooo...... what is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????
I am going to have to say Mac and Cheese. I would die without this stuff. I only have it about once every three months now. and you better believe that i eat the entire box when i do indulge with it. its just so good and yummy yummy yummy in my tummy!!!!0 -
Tuesday's question of the day
I choose my pic cause I'm on Team Yellow, I picked the yellow brick road because it represents the long journey down the road to where I want to be.
Awesome question0 -
Hey Christi! emilytgs24 and I BOTH went to Lake Erie College! SUCH a SMALL WORLD!!!Hello ladies,
My name is Christi, and I'm from Mentor, OH (east of Cleveland, right on Lake Erie). I am 5'1" and have lost 31 pounds since the beginning of May. I would like to lose another 20-30 pounds.

I look forward to getting to know all of you fabulous ladies!0 -
Tuesday QOTD - I picked a red hot shoe for the red team because my husband's mother has passed down a family tradition to me that "she who wears the red shoes has the power" I wore red shoes on my wedding day and every time I wear red shoes I get to make the decisions) I'm DECIDING to get into the 140s!!!!!!
GO RED!0 -
Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
I chose my picture because I am on the blue team, and I wanted something weight loss-related. I found this pic online and made it "mine" with a little help from picnik.com (love that site!).0 -
Tuesday QOTD: I chose my pic cause my husband and I always like to get away to the Caribbean for a week each year. We live such busy lives that decompressing on the beach for a week is becoming a mandatory activity for us. We've said that if we don't have to move (aka sell and buy houses) for his residency, we're going to Bora Bora to celebrate his med school graduation!! Plus I'm on the blue team hehe!
Wednesday QOTD: Hmmm...tough question....since I started eating Primal my definition of "unhealthy" has changed a lot. I think, though, that egg rolls (the really deep fried greasy yummy kind smothered in duck sauce...OK getting hungry now...) are one thing that are a true vice for me. I don't seek them out, but if you put them in front of me forget it.0 -
Okay well first I have a confession! Being the organizer of a challenge has its perks. I totally made my team black because it's my absolute favorite color ever! haha! As far as picking my pic, I went back and forth between a few pics. I was debating between a black rose, black lips, and I wanted to find a good pic of "Black Diamond" (the KISS song!) Ultimately, I went with the lips because I thought they were sexy! And that's what we're aiming for over the next 6 weeks!Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
FRENCH FRIES!!!!! I love them!!!!!! I don't eat them often, like I used to. I have them once a month or so and I really enjoy them when I get them! Although I get a smaller order than I used to, which I'm proud of. But ahhhhh, a basket of hot fries is soooo good.Wed QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????0 -
Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
Coz my legs are my greatest asset and we want to be sexy and team YELLOW will win (whoot!!! whoot!!!)
Wed QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????
Fries, Fries, Fries!!!! When i am eating well, i try to avoid them but i know i could never, ever give them up in a million years. On the other hand, i hear all kind of things about whole milk- well, i will never, ever, ever, ever, ever not have whole milk even if it was 1,000 calories a cup (lil' exaggeration maybe?) but you get the point. I love whole milk0 -
I don't know how I missed Monday's QOTD, but here goes:
Hi, I'm 26 and I live in Nashville...well sort of. I'm in Columbus right now. Because of my job, I'm on the road almost every week with the bad influence of coworkers who love heavy food and beer. Things got a little hectic last year and my job got stressful and frustrating. I didn't really deal with that in the healthiest way; when I started working too much I also started drinking more, eating more, and stopped working out. Surprise, surprise, none of my clothes fit now and my starting weight was the heaviest I've been in my entire life (even after studying in France for a semester and living on pastries and nutella...) and I got really tired all the time. So, I decided to make a better commitment to this site and start running at least three times a week, which really helps my emotions stay level and makes me a happier person overall. This segways into...
Tuesday's QOTD: Why did you choose your profile picture?
I choose my profile picture because I want to run another half marathon and want to remind myself to keep training. I got up to 5 miles a week and a half ago and hope to run a 10K within the next 2 weeks. There is a training group that starts in January as well by my house for the half marathon in Nashville in April.
Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????
I know it's clique, but I have an obsession with dark chocolate. Pizza and french fries rank a really close second. My boyfriend's dad owns a pizza shop and as a result, he makes such good pizza.0 -
Tuesday QOTD!
I actually was looking for a black gun with a black rose (deadly - not playing any games with this weight- but beautiful). I could not find it so I found a beautiful black rose. I plan to feel and look beautiful in my eyes again. Of course it is black for the team that I represent!!! GO BLACK TEAM!!!!!!!
Wednesday QOTD!
I love Italian bread toasted with butter!!! I am also big on chocolate - any chocolate! Black team don't worry I have slowed down with the chocolate and have switched the Italian bread for wheat! 0 -
Tues QOTD:
I'm on the Black Team and I chose a black&white Betty Boop picture because I love Betty Boop and my mom is obsessed with her! Plus I think she looks cute and sexy, which ties with the sexy in six theme.
Wed QOTD:
It's a tie between Peanut Butter and Chocolate!!!! Basically anything with that combination drives me crazy in love! And omg if we have Moose tracks ice cream in the house then I will NOT be able to control myself! 0 -
Wednesday's QOTD: What is the one unhealthy food that you could never and i mean never ever!!!!!! give up in a million years????
PASTA. I could eat it every day for almost every meal. I have changed to whole wheat, and am trying to keep my serving sizes down, though.0 -
Ooooh, I'm going to have to check out this website! :happy:
If you do get a username, let me know! 0
