Hi all,
I have been doing MFP for a little over a month. I am 33 years old and 6' 2". I am currently down to 237 but started off at 253 about 40 days ago. I am husband and father of 3 boys ages 2, 7 and 11. My wife and I are heading to the Bahamas mid May and I am working to get to 215 before we leave. My 2 year old will be joining us while the older boys have to stay for school. I am active outside of work and have lifted regularly 3+ times per week for over a year. Counting calories and adding some cardio is making weight loss go well.
I only have a couple MFP friends and would like more motivation. I am currently after 12 pounds in the next 23 days. I dropped 25 pounds in about 35 days so if I get on track it is something I can accomplish. I need something to push me though. Focus my OCD on this and I will be sure to lose it. I am new to groups so I have no idea what this will provide but I am hoping it is going to work well with iphone check in. I see there are weekly goals and think that could be great as long as it is easy to check in my results. Do I just enter my info normally and it gets pulled or do I have to post it all here too?
Thanks for setting up the group!0 -

Hello,
I'm Emma, 32, college prof (biology & psychology). I've been on MFP for about a year and I'd like to lose about 15-20lbs. I lost 10lbs or so last year, but I've gained back most of it (sort of fell off the bandwagon with logging food, and was a bit lazy on the exercise for a while, too). I'm about halfway through Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution, so at least I'm working out regularly now...but it's been a busy semester, so I'm hoping that summer vacation will let me focus and get back into better shape.0 -
Welcome, Emma! :happy:0

Hi Everyone, I'm Heather I just turned 38 two weeks ago. I recently had a 45 pound weight loss and now stumped with the last 20 pounds so I thought MFP could help me. I have two teen age sons (14 and 16) that keep me very busy. I also have a torn mensicus in one of my knees, an ankle that is awaiting a reconstruction and currently a shattered big toe after dropping a 25 pound weight on my foot at the gym. With all of that combined, I still try to get to the gym or do a jillian michaels video 4 times a week.
I'm hoping to get some support in these last 20 pounds!
Nice to meet you all0 -

Hey everyone! I'm Sarah. I'll be 31 next week. I managed to wreck my diet over the course of a few years and many excuses. Working full-time (desk job) and going to grad-school part-time really caused a problem, but I've yo-yo'ed weight-wise since graduating in 2009. In 2010 my mom passed away from complications due to diabetes (that's the easiest way for me to sum up what happened), and that was enough to scare me into focusing on my own health. I dropped quite a bit of weight initially, but I think I used working out as my way of dealing with grief. I had gotten back up to 162 by this past February and joined MFP after a friend told me about it. I'm down 17lbs so far thanks to eating better (but not dieting), going to the gym, running, and doing Zumba (I'm even an instructor now).
I would love some additional support as I try to lose another 25lbs!
Nice you meet you all. :happy:0 -
Welcome Sarah, looking forward to seeing you around the daily thread!0

Hi everyone!
My name is Jackie. Nice to meet all of you. Just wanted to check in a tell you a little bit about myself. I've been on a weight loss journey for the last 10 years and it's been slow and steady. I have a metabolic condition that tend to keep things very slow, so a loss of about 10lbs a year is all I get, and sometimes even less than that. And let's be honest, there have been some gains and yo yo's along the way.
I also run 1/2 marathons, and am training for my first full marathon this fall. By run, I mean a combination of jogging and speed walking. In a perfect world I would also be training for a Tri, but I'm not that crazy...
If anyone is interested, I also have a blog that talks about weight loss and few other things. Check is out at http://whyweightitout.wordpress.com/.
Cheers,
Jackie0 -
Jackie is also my real life friend, so she comes highly recommended! :-)
