    Starting weight for this: 138.6
    Goal weight: 125

    I am about in the middle of my diet but thought this group would be great for getting over the last part. I started Jan 1 at 150. I have two things going this year I want to lose for then want to keep off this time!!

    We have a hawaii trip the saturday after this would end on June 9th and my step daughter is getting married in Oct and I don't want to look like dumpy middle age woman next to skinny ex wife!!

    And…since all my weight goes in my tummy so I look preg overweight, I would Looovvveee to have a good looking bathing suit for hawaii….

    I joined new hiking club last summer and had to stop because of back problems, I am hoping the weight loss and physical therapy will get me back up better into the mountains!

    Hi everyone I am Caitlyn. I would love to lose the last pesky 25 pounds that seem to be holding on. I put on quite a bit of weight when I went back to school and quit smoking, so I really want to be able to fit in my summer wardrobe this year. :)

    Starting weight: 164
    Goal weight: 152

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm Vicky

    Starting Weight: 182.5
    Goal for 12 weeks: 170

    My high school reunion is coming up in September. Ultimately I'd like to be 25 pounds less by September. That's a reasonable pound a week.

    Also my daughter is of the age (and has the significant other) where she could get married. I don't want to get caught with no time to lose weight , so I had best do it now.

    I haven't had much success in the past, but this is the first time I've logged food and calories.

    Hi I'm Christi,

    Starting weight - 128.4 (March 12)
    Goal weight - 120

    I started my journey May 2011 in order to get ready for a cruise that I'm going on next week. I almost made my goal weight and would love to get there in the next 12 weeks. I bought a ton of new summer clothes for the cruise, and I can't wait to wear them!

    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 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...)

    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.
