    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.

    I was just thinking the other da how I'd like to join a challenge group for accountability and encouragement. This sounds perfect!

    Here's my info...

    Name: Holly
    Starting Weight (for the challenge): 274
    Goal Weight: 165
    Non-Scale Goal: Be able to wear the entire fun wardrobe of summer clothes I have that are 2-3 sizes too small by the the end of the challenge
    About Me: I am fairly new to MFP and after years and years of saying 'maybe this year I'll lose the weight', I have DECIDED that 2012 WILL be the year I lose the weight (no more maybes!). I've tried every 'quick fix' diet out there, with only temporary success. I'm resigned to doing it the hard way, with hard work and focus! Eating healthy, naturally and working out regularly. I'm already down 10 pounds and feel great! The community here at MFP has been great, and tracking my meals and exercise (and weight loss!) online has been really helpful for me. Other info...I'm in my late 30's, married, 3 kids (ages 14, 12 and 7) and my husband is on a weight loss journey with me. I live in Puerto Rico and work part-time in ministry outreach to high risk teens and young adults.

I'm 26 years old, I work full time as a pediatric nurse and I am totally committed to getting healthy (and HOT :) this year!

    Kinda excited about a challenge

    Name: Coni
    Starting weigh: 299
    Goal weight: 165
    Non Scale Goal: Run a 5k (not walk not walk/jog.. but jog the entire distance)

    I live in a lil beach town in Florida right out side of Jacksonville, about a mile from the ocean. I love it. I have a teen daughter who is my life, hence her name Zoë which means life. I do a lot of DIY type projects... from my home decor to making my own wash soap. I've been fat most my life, lost it all once in my mid twenties only to have a tragedy strike my life and I dealt with it the only way I knew how, I ate, AND ATE. I'm now heavier than I ever thought possible and just want to be NORMAL.

    Name: Maritza
    Starting weigh: 190
    Goal weight: 155
    Non Scale Goal: Size 10 jeans and look great in a dress for my sister's wedding (June 23rd, the time frame for this challenge is perfect!)
    & a brief Introduction about yourself: I'm 24, happily single, just started my first "big kid" job as a Field Engineer. Being in the field can make for an interesting challenge when you're in the middle of nowhere from 7 am to as late as 8 or 9 pm! It requires a lot of planning ahead. My sister got me to join this site within the last month, but I think more motivation/accountability is better than a little! :)

    Starting weigh: 165
    Goal weight: 125
    Non Scale Goal: Fit back into my normal clothes, not jiggle when I walk, and be strong and healthy again.
    & a brief Introduction about yourself: I am 39, 2 teen sons. I homeschool and that keeps me sitting too much. I have been gaining weight for years, and its got to stop. I do well for short bursts, then I fall off the wagon and gain it back. Not sure why yet, but sure would like to get past that and onto the thin life. This challenge sounds really good. I was just thinking today about a goal for June, figure I should be able to drop 20 pounds or so before then, if I really stick to it this time.
