I'm Britt. I'm a stay at home mom/housewife. I have 2 kids (4 and 1) and I like to strength train, run, and just recently started dabbling in yoga.

Hello, I am Jackie. A 30 something FT working girl, goes to school part-time to finish that B.A. Getting married in September in beautiful CO. I am working on shedding a few lbs, bringing back my core strength, eating healthier and making this a life time change. I work out at a gym 1 to 2 times a week, walk, use the Xbox Kinnect (and that can be a workout!), and various other activities. I have found I need variety in working out. I have a hard time sticking to the same thing all the time.

Thanks for the challenge.. looking forward to seeing all of us acheive our goals!

Hello! My name is Skye, I am a 21 year old college student in Montana. Ive been on a weight loss rollercoaster for 2 years, lowest weight was 6 pounds away from my goal weight and am now 13 pounds away. Im excited to have something to be accountable for.

Hi there! I'm Lisa - 33 yrs old. I'm very active, but need to be very strict with my diet to lose weight. I do some type of exercise 6 days a week (boot camp, run, spin). I have 6 weeks left in my current boot camp session - so this challenge is perfect timing! My goal is to lose (at least) 5 pounds by then. Good luck to all! :flowerforyou:

always wanted to try a boot camp.. how hard is it?

Mine is great! There a SO many different types though - just find one you like...

Hey, I'm Aresa. I'm 24 & my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds by August. I'm going home to see my family & introducing them to my boyfriend so that's going to be very nerve wrecking for me. He's met my mom & grandmother before & my aunt & they love him, but now it's time for him to meet the boys of the family. We are going to be at the beach most of the time & I really want to get my stomach flatter and prettier looking lol ;-). I just love communities like this that helps out each other & I look forward to all of us doing well on our journey together :-D

Hi, guys! I'm Bonnie, a 5'2" young 58-year-old. I grew up in Massachusetts, and have lived in NH for more than 20 years. I'm a mother of two, with one stepdaughter, too. I have one biological grandchild, and three grandchildren by love. I was laid off two years ago, and have had a few temporary jobs, but haven't made a great effort to go back to work. I enjoy being retired! (That will end soon, though.)

I never saw 112 pounds until I was pregnant with my first child. Since then, I've been either overweight or obese.

My husband (an athlete from way back) has also gained weight since our marriage five years ago. We recently joined an athletic club, and happily we chose the right one! The club offers a fairly new program, currently only available at about 6 clubs, all in NH. We joined the 90 Day Commit to Get Fit program, and "graduated" last night.

Commit to Get Fit is 13 weekly meetings, which last for 2 hours. The first hour we discussed nutrition -- many aspects of it. We learned how to eat right (low glycemic), shop, go to restaurants ... The second hour we were introduced to exercise -- an introduction to how to properly lift weights, an introductory yoga class, an introduction to a Body Combat class, an introduction to Body Pump class, etc. Partway through the program, our coach introduced us to My Fitness Pal.

Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in the exercise portion of the program. because, at the end of the first week, I was on the treadmill, and had a stress fracture in my knee. I had some complications, and ended up with a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis) in my calf. As a result of the fracture and clot, I was having problems walking, and was sent to physical therapy. I go twice a week and have had 4 sessions.

I am happy to report that I am working hard, and am gaining strength AND confidence. I was able to get rid of the cane last week! (Although I am still wearing a leg brace most of the time ... and ugly granny support knee stockings. Not fun when it's 100 degrees!)

On March 27, I weighed 175 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 158!

I am doing some water aerobic classes, recumbent bike, cross-country skier, and my PT Homework -- leg and core strengthening exercises.

I'm glad to have found this challenge, to help me keep on task. Thank you!!!

hello ladies. my name is Katie. I am a single mom of a 10 year old daughter . I am also a college freshman. my workous vary from walk away the pounds to Gold's gym cardio work out. may try dancing as a work out even though I seem to have 2 right feet.
I am left handed by the way.

If you have a Wii......I would suggest getting the game "Just Dance". It's so much fun and you can do it in the privacy of your home so having two right feet doesn't matter.
