My name is Diana a 39yr old mother of two ( now adult children) Ihave struggled with my weight for the past 18 years and has recently gotten worse when I hurt my back while at work. I was basicly depressed and medicated for 3 years, and with that in mind I basicly ate to be happy. I have a wonderful supportive huusband of 12yrs, although supportive and says that he loves me any way I am, I think dosent have the heart to "remind me " that that candy bar is bad for me. I work full time many different shifts and find it hard to get a regular schedule to my life of exercise and diet, I need support and sometimes a friend to remind me that I dont need that cookie.
current weight 167 / goal weight 125/ weight in 12 weeks 147:flowerforyou

Name: Lynn
I will be turning 50 on Wednesday. :noway: 13 years ago, I had a baby, quit smoking and since then, I have gained an average of 6 lbs a year. It doesn't help that my husband is a fantastic cook!
I am the heaviest I have ever been and totally disappointed in myself. 
It is time to change....my dad had open heart surgery 2 months ago and yesterday my sister went into the hospital with chest pains. (She is out now-they don't know why she is getting them yet!). I don't want to wind up there.
I am the type of person that usually ends up giving up but this time I am going to do my best to really lose the weight, get healthy and look good in the mirror. My first goal to be 200 lbs or below.
Starting weight: 230.5
12 Week goal: 199.0

Name: Jenn
About Yourself: I am 33 and make video games for a living. I live in a tiny apt with my bf. I used to go to the gym regularly, and I am currently trying to get back into the habit. I also need to get back into the habit of more home made food instead of fast food and restaurants. I am really short (5'2" on a good day ), so my current weight is probably similar to a 200 lb average height female.
Starting Weight: 168.2 lbs (I was not sure if we were rounding to the nearest pound)

Name: Kristen
About Myself: Hi everyone, I'm excited for this challenge, especially since it's starting right after the holidays, now all that get togethers and eating of good foods is over! haha. I am a mother of 2, a 8 year old girl, and a 4 year old boy. I want to get healthy to be able to do things with them and not let my self image get in the way of having fun as a family! I also like that it''s called the biggest loser challenge and that it's starting when the show starts, cuz I love the show and it inspires me to keep on track Not sure of my starting weight, I was supposed to weigh in this morning but I've been sick and didn't even feel like getting out of bed so I forgot to and only remembered after I had already eaten and drank some water, and I haven't weighed myself since last week so it could be anything now, I don't wanna guess, so I will weigh in tomorrow, which works cuz Tuesdays will be our weigh in days. So, I will post tomorrow with my exact starting weight...i don't have an exact number for my 12 week goal weight until I weigh in tomorrow, but I'm thinking I would like to lose 30 pounds in this challenge 0
