    Woohoo! I've been waiting for this :) Here's my info:

    Name: Crystal
    Starting weigh: 192 :(
    Goal weight: 150
    Non Scale Goal: Being able to run a 5K
    A brief Introduction about yourself: Hi all! I am 28 years old, from the midwest, and I work way too much (for too little pay!). I've been overweight my entire life (quite literally). I started my weight loss journey December 1, 2010. In 1 year, I lost 114 pounds. Getting some bad news in December (my financee is being laid off) along with going on vacation (eating out almost every single meal) and having trouble getting back on track, I gained some weight back. I did well in the Christmas challenge and I think this new challenge is exactly what I need to get back in gear and finally get down to my goal weight.

    Good luck everyone!!

    Goal weight: 180
    Non Scale Goal: Eat healthy 6 out of 7 days
    run one mile without stopping

    Hey! Im stacie and i am 20. I would love to loose this weight in order to feel better, be healthy and happy. I tend to gain weight when times get tough in life so i have been looking for healthy alternatives. I recently found that exercising helps a lot when i am having a bad day, so thats a plus!

    Name: Cindy Luo Luo

    Starting weigh: 199

    Goal weight: 142

    Non Scale Goal: 5K in June with some very fit friends (they runs races all of the time and are super fit and I'd like to run with them.) I've never ran a race before. It's on my bucket list.

    I'm Cindy, 27 years old. I have a beautiful 2 and a half year old daughter. I've spent a great amount of energy teaching her to be healthy (eating well, exercising). I remember once she begged for broccoli for breakfast! She is seriously amazing. I'd like to be more of an example for her. It's one thing to teach someone but another to show them. So here I am! My husband is amazing and helps me keep on track. I've just recently graduated with a doctorate in pharmacy and am currently studying to become licensed. This requires sitting on my behind 5-6 hours a day. Not the best for my health. It really helped push me into working out and eating less calories. I was not going to gain for weight.

    Cheers! and good luck to everyone!

    Ok... i'm in. Pray for me y'all. LOL! :laugh:

    Name: Kat :flowerforyou:

    Starting weight and height: 215.5 / 5'6" Ugh. :frown: Although, i'm proud of myself cause my highest was 224lbs about 2wks ago, more than when I was 9months pregnant with my first child. :sad:

    Goal weight: ~165-170 (Really just want to feel back to myself at whatever number that is.) :blushing:

    Non Scale Goal: To fit into a size 10-12 comfortably... have no more pain in my knees and ankles... complete my fitness test at work in less than 6 minutes... generally, just be more active and really learn to run and complete the C-2-5K program including completing a 5K. :drinker:

    Brief Introduction about yourself: I am Mommy to two girls. My oldest heads off to college this fall and my youngest will be in 8th grade. In five years, it will be just me (unless I find a hubby or get a dog! Ha! :laugh: ) and I really want to enjoy that part of my life as much as I can. I promised myself last year that I didn't want to turn 40 and still be overweight. Well I had my 37th birthday this past November and instead of going down, balooned up to 224lbs. Very uncomfortable, joints aching, none of my clothes fit, uniform pants splitting... just sad. Anywho, i'm trying to get past all that and get control of my life again. :bigsmile:

    Name: Kimberly
    Starting weigh: 218
    Goal weight: 130
    Non Scale Goal: I want to be the hot Army wife running into her soldiers arms when he returns sometime in May/June! (pretty vain, but it would really make me happy!)
    Brief Introduction about yourself: I am a 34 yr old SAHM Army wife and mommy of a gorgeous and vibrant 2 yr old girl, Giulianna and beautiful and ever changing 3 month old girl, Olivia! I have always been over weight since puberty! Its been an every day struggle. It was not until I was in my mid 20's that I was diagnosed with PCOS. Even after finding out, I continued to struggle with my weight and ballooned all the way up to 317! My lowest weight in my adult life was when I got pregnant with my first DD and that was about 179! I hope to get back there and even smaller. I am determined this time to be healthy not just for me but for my daughters and my hot hubby! Bring on the challenges!

    I'm in!!

    Name: Shelby
    Starting weigh: 164
    Goal weight: 130
    Non Scale Goal:To fit into a pair of jeans not in the double digits.

    Intro: My name is Shelby, and I'm a college student so unhealthy options are aways lurking around corners. Always heard about the freshmen 15, but being the sometimes overachiever that I am, I ended up gained well over. Went from 170 something to 230lbs. Since then I have lost over 60lbs. Its been hard, but worth it. I'm turning 21 this May, and my goal is to be around my goal weight of 130lbs by then.
