    Starting weight 166
    12 week goal 150

    I am going to a wedding in June and would like to be able to wear some of those great clothes hanging in my closet! If I buy a new outfit for the wedding, I want it to be because I want to - not because I can't find anything that fits!

    Starting weight- 181 lbs

    12 Week Goal- 161 lbs

    My ultimate goal is 130 lbs, but I would love to be back at 160 lbs, because I didn't have a belly. I have always been able to "suck-in" and now that is not working! I used to be 130 lbs, but after 4 years of being with my boyfriend Charlie (and lots and lots of fast food) gave me this gut. I am 5 foot 1 and I should definitely not be 180 pounds. I am really scared that I will turn out like my biological mother and it haunts my dreams (I don't have anything to do with her because she abandoned me and my 2 sisters when we were babies). So I want to be fit and healthy. Sorry for the story!

    Start Weight: 198 lbs
    Height: 5'10"
    12 Week Target: 170-174 lbs

    I'm shaping up for summer in order to save myself from purchasing a new summer wardrobe, to feel more confident mulling about in the higher temps in the midwest and to continue on the journey to my target weight where I feel comfortable, confident, and happy in my own skin.

    Starting weight: 275 (1/2/12)
    Starting weight for 3/12/12: 248.2
    Goal weight for 12 weeks: 224 (2 pounds per week)

    I haven't been in the 220's for a VERY long time and I would love to be that weight when summer rolls around. To be able to wear cute sun dresses and have more confidence to wear a bathing suit at the lake is what drives me. My ultimate goal weight is around 170 (I'm 6'0)

    Give or take a few pounds. Not looking to be exact on the scale, more looking to turn the fat into muscle and get into beach shape!

    Current weight 179. Goal weight 150.

    At the beginning of the year I was 198 and changed my diet drastically. This past week I finally hit 179! And also joined the local gym and have been going everyday. I'm getting worried it won't come off faster now! I'm so tired of being a chubbs!

    MFP Start Weight: (Sept 2011): 189.6 lbs
    This Challenge Start Weight: 165.6 lbs
    My 12 Week Target Weight: 150 (My goal weight) 15.6 lbs less than today

    Why Are You Shaping Up For Summer? I want to feel confident in a bathing suit and be able to run around more with my daughter. I also signed up for my first 5K which is in May and I want to be able to complete the 5K and try an run most of it (I am so not a runner right now...)

    Starting Weight (2/28/12): 244 lbs
    Starting this challenge (3/12/12): 237 lbs
    12 Week Challenge Goal: 225 lbs

    I wanted to just set a realistic goal that I can achieve, however my overall goal is to drop below that and hit my ideal weight. I'm doing this so I can feel fit again for the summer.

    Current weight as of 3/12/2012
    172.8
    Goal weight for the challenge
    155

    I am feeling kind of stagnant at this point and I am hoping that joining this group would keep me motivated and accountable. I need to stay on track, not just for the summer, but for good.

    Current Weight: 190.8
    Goal Weight 169.9

    2 reasons:

    1) I really want to break below 170. That number haunts me. I always seem to plateu before I break it and then give up. Not this time!!!

    2) My family and friends love the beach and the pool so I'd like to get a new swimsuit and feel more comfortable in my skin. Plus rock'n a cute summer dress would be awesome!!

    Starting weight: 225lbs (03/12/12)

    12 week target weight: 205lbs

    Looking to trim down because: I am sick of being this size and hating the way I look. I also have my high school 20 year reunion July 1st and I would love to look much better for that.

    I just started MFP last week, never thought I could count calories but I am doing it! I am also doing Body By Vi shakes which I am loving so far. I have also started a running program, I have always wanted to run a 5K race.
