    Hello - my name is Rhenee' and I have been on MFP since August. I joined MFP with a friend and I lost 15 pounds and was on track but then my friend dropped out and I have done terrible ever since. I really need to get focused and I think this group will help me with accountability.....I hope anyway.

    Start Weight: 169 (3/13)

    12 Week Goal: 145

    Reason for Wanting to Lose By Summer: I just want to know what it is like to put on a bathing suit or even just shorts and not feel subconscious of the way I look. I have a beautiful swimming pool but only use it when no one else is around. I am 47 years old and if I don't go this now, it will only get harder.

    Hi all !

    Start Weight: 219.6lbs

    12 week goal: 193.2lbs

    Reason: I know that is quite a loss to aim for in 12 weeks but my PT reckons this should be the least amount of weight I can lose and I'm determined to show him that I can. He's the only one in my support network. I have a few reasons for losing the weight:

    1) I want this to be the first summer in a long time that I can wear something other then trousers and a jumper all the time
    2) I don't want to be on painkillers all summer again.
    3) I want to look great not frumpy.

    My name is Nicole. I would like to join this group. I've been just half-heartedly trying to lose for years. It's time to get serious. Everyone in my familiy is obese/overweight and has health problems due to it...diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Every year I say I am going to be in shape for summer and then it passes me by. I just got back from 17 days in Hawaii and if seeing skinny people on the beach isn't a good motivator, I don't know what is! I have weekend trip planned for July 20-22. I would like to lose 30 lbs by then. I need to get serious about tracking my food & staying within my goal. I also really need to exercise more regularly.

    Starting Weight: 172.5
    Goal in 12 Wks: 150

    My main target is to flatten out my tummy and get my arms thinner. I really want to look good in a bathing suit. :smokin:

    Start Weight - 234.2 lb (3/12/12 - heaviest I've ever been)

    12 Week Goal - 10% of body weight down - 210.8

    I challenged my parents to a "Biggest Loser" contest this past weekend. Obviously I want to beat my Dad (who has about 75 lbs to lose as well) and this is a good way to stay accountable to myself, on top of staying accountable to them.

    I've been on WeightWatchers recently and actually managed to gain, rather than lose, because I found creative ways to stay within the points targets but not watch portion sizes.... sometimes I am too smart for my own good. Anyway, I came back to MFP where I've had success before, and decided to join this group as a way to stay accountable.

    My goal in shaping up for summer just fits into my larger goal which is to move to the "normal" column on the BMI chart - and to be able to do 100 regular pushups in a workout.

    Hi Sammy! It can be tough to do this with little support, so I'm happy to be in your support network as well :smile:

    Hello!! I just joined this group and also MyFitnessPal

    Start Weight: 196 lbs

    12 Week Goal: 184 lbs or more

    I want to look good this summer and not look like a beached whale and worry about if people are staring at the fat mom with her daughter. I hate wearing a bathing suit now and plus I used to be 130 lbs before I got pregnant and had my daughter so I am going to try to get down to close to what I used to be give or take 10 to 15lbs.
