Hi

This time I will do it!!

Hi Everyone! I'm Beverly. I'm 47 and the mother of a 3 year old boy (yes, I can hear some of you groan!). Let's just say that Mother Nature has an odd sense of humor.

Anyway, I'm at 171 and I need to get down to 145-150. I've got a really good start and have lost 4 pounds in about 3 weeks. I certainly think I can lose 10 pounds in six weeks. I just need to get my diet a little stricter. I'm also going to start a couch to 5K program.

I'm so looking forward to this challenge. It's just the thing I need right now.

My name is Kayla. I am currently a student at Plymouth State University. I am getting my Bachelors degree in Social Work with a mental health option. My mother and I are on a weight loss journey and slowly shedding the pounds. We are all about improving our wellness and making positive changes.

I love a little friendly competition and I am hoping that it keeps me on track to my goal of loosing weight!

Ok, I'm in. I have 4 amazing boys between the ages of 3 and 9 who fill my life with adventure...and my waitsline with too much extra 'fluff'! I'd like to return the 10 pounds each of them has so lovingly given me and exchange it all for Yummy Mommy status :happy: I'm a stay at home mom who is never at home it seems and I look forward to the challenge of adding myself to the priority list and having you all help keep me accountable. Thanks for starting this! Time to kick the first 10 to the curb!

Hello all!
My name is Boyd. I am a 41 year old husband and father of five. I live in Chesapeake, VA and have witnessed in horror as my weight has skyrocketed since my early 30's. I can think of plenty of excuses as to why this happened, but in the end, it still let it happen. At my highest, I was 350 lbs and completely miserable with my appearance. I didn't allow many pictures to be taken of me, I started 'dressing down' to cover my fat, and my energy level was at an all-time low. Over the past few years, I have made slight adjustments to my diet with some success. I am down to 332 and am aiming my sights to a svelt 220. I have been watching and recording everything I eat or drink and have started lifting weights again. I feel better and have a ton more energy. I'd really like to see the numbers on my scale go down, though. I decided to add some cardio to my exercise regimen to exact some much-needed revenge on my waistline. To that effect, my son and I rearranged the living room to make plenty of room to use my Gazelle.

I love this challenge and am all-in. Time to scorch the fat!

Hi!! My name is Kristie from Wisconsin. Been battling my "baby weight" since my last baby was born almost 25 years ago!! Time to get it off - especially since I am now expecting my 6th (yes, sixth...) grandchild to be born in December. I'm 52 years young and need to lose 40 pounds to keep up to all the little ones.

I'm looking forward to the challenge. Best of luck to us all!!

Hi Everyone! I'm Belinda - 32 year old Mother of two. My children are 14 & 12 and they have joined me in the quest of eating healthier this Summer and changing our ways of eating. I have been successful in losing weight in the past, but this year has been very difficult. In September 2011, my body was overcome with unbearable pain...especially in my neck, skull, back and ribs. I've lost the movement in my left arm and shoulder and my body writhes in constant pain. I lost my job and my ability to function in everyday life. I'm seeing many physicians and the combination of being depressed, taking certain medications that cause bloating, weight gain - along with my forced sedentary lifestyle has caused me to go from 132 lbs to 155 lbs. I am looking forward to making friends, supporting one another and trying my best to beat the odds and get to a healthier weight. Please feel free to add me as a friend - Belinda xo

Hi Everyone - what a wonderful idea for group support.

My name is Carol and I have about 10lbs to lose. I'm turning 50 later this year and have always been relatively slim and active but my metabolism seems to have ground to a halt. Under the suggestion of my nutritionist - I only eat lean proteins, vegetables and good fats to see if that will counteract my insulin resistance.

Good luck to all!:happy:

Hi my name is Kim. I am for Missouri and a nurse I joined my fitness pal 2 days ago. I love a challenge so that is why I wanted to join the 10 lb challenge in 6 weeks. So far I like the accountabilty and the tracking it makes me think about what I am eating. Thisa life style change and has to be to make the weight loss for life.

Hi - I'm Laura and I am 30 yrs old. I am ready to get in shape. I do really great during the week but weekends are hard for me; specifically eating out. I love this challenge and look forward to holding myself more accountable.

HI everyone
My name is Rochelle and i am a mom to two boys, 2 and 7... I live in a small town and i am not great at making friends or workout buddies so came on here to get a helping hand at losing the last 20 pounds
I have already lost 17 pounds and stuck in a rut with eating and excercising and would love support

Hi, my name is Becky. I am a 42 yo nurse and mom to 3 (22, 21 and 14) and a GM to 1
Every since I hit my 40's it has been such a struggle to maintain, let alone lose weight.

In my 20s and 30s, I was always 115-120 but since I hit 40, no matter what I do the scale keeps rising and rising...

Now I'm at my all time high (except when I was pregnant) of 142. I'm not considered "overweight" but I'm just not comfortable in my body (being used to be smaller for so many years).

My goal is not to get back down to 115 as at my age I don't think it would look good on me, but 125-128.

Good luck to all and it's nice to meet all of you

My name is Valerie, some of my close friends refer to me as "cupcake"

Like many of you, I have been searching for the "holy grail" of a healthier life style. I tried everything. At the end of last summer I found a program that works for me. I use these 100% all natural supplements on top of re-negotiating my lifestyle to fit my needs. These products also helped me get off of depression and anxiety medications which cost me a fortune! Now I am saving money and getting healthier and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! Earlier this month I did the 8 day suggested program which was easy to follow and I lost 10lbs and 12 inches in 8 days!

I will be adding everyone in this group and I am here to help, we are all in this together! We can get out of this together.

If you or a loved one you know would be interested in exactly what I did, feel free to message me.
There's no time like the present

My highest weight was around 250lbs (just before using the products). I'm 5'5 and now I weigh 180lbs. I plan to keep going on my weight loss.

I am seeing my boyfriend graduate from basic training from the National Guard in Ft. Benning, GA July 2nd. So I want to lose more beofre then.

Good luck to all of you!
