I am 42 years old and have strugled with my weight all my life. I work full time plus overtime. I would also like to get in better shape this year.
My current weight is 153.
My goal weight is 139...I haven't been able to get under 140 since my late thirties.
Good luck everyone!
(I think the color idea suggested by the domestic chic would be fun. We can still do individual, but then we can do the top team as well. It would be a great motivator to help our team.)0 -
Name: Jacki S.
About me: I am a 29 yea old wife and mother of 2. I have been overweight my whole life except for 2 months before I found out I was pregnant with my first child-go figure. I work part time and am a part time law student--all of which keeps me busy from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I currently have back problems which prevent me from exercising, so eating right is the only thing I can do for weight loss right now. I have already lost 24 pounds and can't wait to lose more!

Name: Sonya
About yourself: I am 38 yrs old and I have three children, 15, 14 and 6. I've have been married to my best friend for 16 yrs. I have always struggled with my weight. During highschool I struggled with anorexia and then again when my second son was born. I gained control over it so I thought and let myself eat what I wanted and stopped excercising all together. I want to loose the weight for good and to get healthy. I should probably loose 90 lbs but my goal for now is 60 lbs. I am excited to get started!!

OK!!!! What can I say....you guys are awesome!!! We now have 90 pp in this 12 week challenge!!! I am sooo excited!!!! Unfortunately, I am going to have to put a cut off. I can handle up to 100 pp in this challenge:frown: Reason for this is that I have to create and maintain a spreadsheet for all of us and I am afraid that if I take on too many pp, I will not be able to do it properly. By tomorrow morning, I will post all the members that are officially in the challenge.
If you do not make the cut.....PLEASE continue to post on here...we need all your support!!!!

Thank you for starting this!!!
My name is Patty and my starting weight is 242 lbs. I would like to be at 2l5lbs in 12 weeks. I am tired of losing and gaining the same 70lbs and would like them gone forever. I would like to set a healthy example for my 2 kids and increase my longevity. I am tired of being winded and missing out on making memories with my family due to being out of shape and overweight. I am really looking forward to the support system and sharing my day to day accomplishments!! (no ice cream or peanut m& m's).
Let's get rolling!!!!0 -

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
Hey guys, I weighed myself so just giving my starting weight for this challenge and goal weight

Hello i a 33 year old marine engineer from england constantly struggling with my weight, i use the gym 3 to 4 times a week so i think its my diet which is the problem. But this year i determined to do it!
starting weight 211ibs
12 week goal 180ibs
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!
portion size seems to be a big issue on the diet frontier so keep it under control and we wont have to cut out to much :-) also measure with a tape measure, it can be more accurate if you building a bit of muscle to, at least if you see that creeping down you wont be so disheartened, good luck0 -
