    Hi I am Sarah.

    Current Weight: 189
    Goal by June 30th: 179

    What motivates you to stick to your plan to lose weight?: Motivation is something I am struggling with right now. I have lost 30 pounds since Christmas, but nothing in the month of May. Life is picking up speed and I am not making time to exercise like I should. June will be just as busy but I am hoping to find that motivation again. I have a friends wedding in a week (eek) and would like to do a 5k in Oct. So currently trying to use the 5K as motivation.

    What will you reward yourself when you reach your goal weight? New clothes! I will be down another size at that point. :)

    I plan on taking my daughter to disney again in Dec for her birthday, and I want to feel comfortable and confident that I won't break the rides and actually get on rides with her. Also I'm graduating in May next year and I have found the best dress, so working towards that.

    Hello everybody! My name is Amy and I want to lose 10 lbs. I am 5'4" and currently weight 156, I've dropped 16 pounds since March and am halfway to my UG of 140!! To lose the weight I am on a low carb diet with a cheat day once a week, basically the Slow Carb diet but without the beans (because I forget to eat them). Ten days ago I started the 90 body revolution with Jillian Michaels and I so far have lost 2 pounds and 12" all around. Feel free to add me as a friend, I'm pretty new to this site and need more friends!

    Oh right, I am motivated by the thought of looking super fly in whatever I choose to wear.
    My reward for the ten pounds will be new jeans!

    Hey everyone! I'm Alli.

    I think this is a great way for all of us to shed some extra pounds in time for summer.

    SW: 193
    CW: 177
    Goal weight for July 1st: 167, but even lower would be nice haha

    I'm currently 5'10" with a medium-large build so let's see how it goes.

    If I make it, I'm definitely going on a shopping spree!

    My motivatiion is thinking about how bangin' I will look in all of the summer clothes that other girls get to wear haha.

    Good luck everyone!!

    Hey gals! I love a good challenge!

    Current Weight: 194
    Goal by June 30th: 185
    What motivates you to stick to your plan to lose weight?: Getting back into my pre-baby skinny jeans and burlesque costumes, and being confident in a bathing suit at some point this summer. My weight loss has been slow since having this baby, and I really want to kick it up into gear and get back into shape. I miss being able to enjoy shopping for new clothes, or feeling comfortable in my own skin. I want to get back to that place.

    Hi, My name is Nicole. I have never tried one of these groups, but it seems like it would be some great motivation! It also seems like a great way to meet people. I am at 235 my highest ever. My motivation to lose weight is my health, I have high blood pressure and pcos. I want to get control of these things so I can see my kids grow up and set a good example for them! My goal at the end of the month is 225. I would love to lose more but I will start with 10 ;-)

    I'm in too :-)

    Don't have to lose much more, I have already lost 10lbs & I will try as hard as I can to stay committed and lose the baggage & have a more toned body to be fit again :-)

    CW: 145lbs
    GW: 135lbs

    I'm going on holiday by the end of june & would LOVE to be more fit, 'cause it will be an active holiday of hikes and hot weather!
    And I want to feel better in my clothes & not be sooo selfconscious anymore.

    I'll reward myself with a hot bikini and/or more clothes & will clean out my closet of larger old clothes ^.^
    Oh and my new motivation (which I never had before) is to be happy with my body on my B-day, the first of July :-)
