Hi all! I'm Kiara and I really need to get a grip on my body and get healthy again. Some years back I weighed 120 pounds but somehow gained 60 pounds since then. I'm 25, in the prime of my life but pretty unhappy with my physical appearance. My biggest problem area is my upper body i.e. stomach area and arms. My mom always says my upper and lower body are out of proportion- so true! I'm ready to get back to myself!!

Hi! My name is Jessie and I've been on and off MFP for a while. I have a lot of big motivators this year. I'm getting a new drivers license photo taken in mid July, so I want to lose weight for that. I'm also turning 30 in July, so that's another one. DH and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary by going on a cruise in late August. We're also seriously considering starting our family this year, so I've been working hard to get in shape for that. LOL A lot is going on! I made the mistake of focusing hard on exercise for the past month while completely ignoring my food, calories, and the scale. I ended up gaining 6 pounds. (And no, it's not water weight. LOL)
I haven't weighed myself in a few days, but the following are my last known stats. I'll do my official weigh-in tonight and post that on the other thread.

I have hit a bit of a plateau, so hoping this will re-ignite things. Shooting for the full 30 lbs over the summer, as it will really put me on target for my long term goal.

Hi everyone my name is Crystal. I have struggled with my weight off and on the last few years, between nursing school, working, little league, boy scouts etc, I just haven't made the time for myself I should. I was logging on to MFP and doing really well the beginning of this year, then my mom got sick in Feb was admitted to ICU and passed away April 12th. So I am trying to just get myself back together and start making some changes for myself. Would like to do this not only for my health but for my son and family as well.
Stats:
Height: 5'4"
HW: 202 lbs day I gave birth to my son 2003
SW: 169.4 lbs
CW: 168.8 lbs
GW: about 130 lbs or so and will re-evaluate when I reach that goal whether or not I need to loose more or just tone.
Really excited though to do this as a group and keep each other motivated!0 -

Hello everyone!
I'm Adrienne, I just finished grad school and have the summer off before starting to work. I put on some decent weight (read: 40 lbs) over the past few years and I'd like to get back to a weight that I feel good at. I started MFP a few weeks ago, and finding that sticking to the 1200 cals a day to be pretty challenging for me. Currently doing cardio 30-35 min 5x per week and 3 nights of strength training.

GW: so I haven't been below 124 since I can remember. I think that because I am petite I should definately be in the mid-lower 110s, so will try to lose between 20-30 pounds depending on health reasons.
Looking foward to supporting you all. Feel free to friend if you want!0 -

I'm Erica. I have had the MFP app on my phone for a couple of years, but only really got serious about losing weight in August of last year. The best part about this challenge is that it ends just a few days before my 30th birthday, and that is when I'd like to reach goal. I am a new runner, and I am running my first marathon in October.

Hello everyone. I'm Brooke. I'm 24. I've struggled lately getting out of a plateau. I just completed the first cycle of the 17 day diet and had great success with it (14 pounds) and plan on continuing with the plan until I hit my ultimate goal of 180 (or lower depending on how I feel). I have gone from 290s to 225 (today
) but I have a ways to go! Good luck everyone! 0 -

Hi, my name is Cassandra. I feel like 90 days is the perfect amount of time to get my mind and body in a healthy state and help keep the good habits going after the challenge. I'm starting this challenge at 195.4. My goal at the end of 90 days is to be at 180. also started the 30 day shred yesterday to help jumpstart the weightless.
Let's do this!

Hi everyone!
this is the first group I've joined on mfp. I thought I would join to help me ramp up this summer. I've been stuck in a plateau ever since I lost 50 lbs, and I want to bust through it! I gained 5lbs this past week from not exercsing due to an injury, but I can go again, so this is perfect timing. I'm hoping to be back down the 5lbs by next week, or at least close to it. I figure I gained it in a week, I can lose it in a week! But my ultimate goal at the end of the 3 months is to be in the 160's. Currently I am 183, (was 177 last week
), but I try not to let it get to me. I just take it one day at a time. If i make bad food choices, I tell myself it was my choice and do better tomorrow. It took me a long time to put this weight on....I'm giving myself a long time to take it off. Just making sure I keep off what goes off! 0 -

I'm so glad this group exists! I'm moving to the other side of the country in mid-August and I really want to get in the best possible shape for this new adventure! New lifestyle and healthier habits!
I'm currently seeing a naturopath to help with my diet and ensure I'm getting all of the nutrition I need. She suggested a good weight for me would be 125 (though I think I'd be happy at 135) and that it should take 8 months, so I'm just going to see how much progress I can make before I leave town and then continue on from there. I've been doing P90X for about a week and a half and I'm already starting to see some changes in my body, even though I haven't lost any pounds yet.
