Name: Michelle
About yourself: I am a 30 year old teacher from Wales. I too have struggled with my weight most of my life and have lost and gained the same 60lbs 3 times. I have now made the decision to finish it and see what it feels like to maintain. I started my journey at 244lbs, 18 months ago. I managed to get to 171 last Christmas then I went back up to 193. I joined MFP in July and have got it back to 171 (it was 167 before Christmas). I want to be slim and healthy so I can start a family. I never want my child to go through the bullying, sadness and frustration that comes with being overweight.

Name: Samantha
About yourself: I'm 21 years old, I've been overweight/obese for most of my life. I've always wanted to be smaller but never really put forth the effort to get there. I'm getting married in less than 2 weeks, and I hate that I'm not the size I want to be for my wedding. I'm making a lifestyle change and getting healthier. For myself, so that I can shop in places other than plus size stores; for my future husband, so I can be sexy and confident for him; and for my future baby so that I will be healthy for him or her during pregnancy & be able to chase them around, give them the mommy they deserve.

Welcome to the group Jennifer! I am in the same boat as you with the family history! It makes it that much harder to get the weight off and keep it off. But I believe that with constant guidance and control we can overcome it!!! I hope we can do this journey together and help each other along the way! Good Luck and Happy 2012!!!!!0

Hi My name is Brooke and I will be 21 this month! After graduating high school in 2009, I slowly let my weight creep up! When I graduated I was about 150 which was overweight for me then because I am only 5'1. Over the past 2 and a half years I have gained 45 pounds and now weigh 195
I refuse to let that number get any higher so I really want to get down to a healthy weight. My goal for this challenge is to lose about 15 pounds in 12 weeks. 0 -

I am exactly the same. I do 1-2 hours exercise every day and am struggling to drop the weight. I know I will be replacing fat with muscle but it's still a little disheartening (especially as I am a slave to the scales). I'm going to try to sort out my diet so hopefully that will help!0 -

About yourself: I'm 24 and started my weight loss journey weighing 228. I reached the 180s (this past summer) before starting a new job and graduate school. I let the change in my schedule become an excuse for reverting to old eating habits and am now back at 203. Looking forward to leaving the excuses in 2011 and becoming a healthier me in 2012

Name: Tony
About yourself: I am a 51 year old teacher. I have always been on the “well built” side of things and have been self conscious of my weight and body shape practically all my life. However when I was younger I was much fitter and better able to “carry” the weight. I stopped playing rugby when I was 44 and the struggle with my weight has been an ever losing battle since then. I have tried to lose weight many times and have lost it gained it lost it and gained it again, each time I usually end up heavier than before. I am looking to make a change in 2012! I want to change my lifestyle.....so this will be the last time I have to deal with the excess weight! I want to eat healthy so I can enjoy the next few years feeling better and I want to excersice regularly and get fit again!

Name: Nick
About Yourself: I am 27 years old, active-duty Air Force, I weighed 180 lbs the 4 years I was in England. As soon as I came back to the states I put 47 lbs on and weighed 227 at 5'10". I have tried a few diets including the "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" juice diet. With that diet I lost 20 lbs, but I didn't like the fact that I felt like I was starving myself. I gained some weight back and I'm ready to get it off and keep it off.

About Yourself: I am a 29 year old woman and work in the software industry. I exercise 3-5 times a week and I'm reasonably fit, however I tend to eat when I'm tired, stressed or worried. In the evenings I end up buying chocolate, cakes and snacks on the way home from work and undoing all of my healthy eating. I need to find the mental strength to not need to "treat" myself with food but I don't have space for a pet in my current flat and its not easy moving when house prices are falling/stagnant

My name is Lisa and I'm 33 years old. I've struggled with my weight since i was a kid. I work full time. I want to loose the weight to feel better about myself and to prevent getting diabetes. I've watched my mom struggle with type 2 diabetes for a very long time now. I've never been able to get below 160 lbs and have lost and regained the same 20 pounds over and over again. I've always dreamed of running, so if anyone has any good tips to get started i would appreciate it.
