Hi everyone,
My name is Melissa and I have about 65 pounds to lose. I am a single mom of two girls, ages 6 and 3. I have found some amazing friends on here who are super supportive. I also have a very supportive family and supportive coworkers! In fact, my boss uses this site. I've done the weightloss roller coaster too many times and I am ready to take it all of the way down and stay there!
Good luck everyone!
p.s. feel free to add me! I love to give supportive comments on pages and posts

Hello everyone, I am Sharon and I am ready for the challenge. I am 45 years old and the mother of an 18, and 17 year old teenagers. I have struggled with my weight for years and would love to lose 25lbs and keep it off for once. I am great at losing the weight, just not able to keep it off long term. My husband and I ordered the P90X program so we are going to start on that this week. I am hoping that will assist with losing the lbs. Good luck everyone.0

Yep! Another poster (LilCrissieBug) and I will be handling the behind the scenes work. We will post a thread every Friday for you to weigh in and then we'll update with weekly stats.
Also, don't forget to check back in during the week to chat or get and give motivation!0 -
Hi everyone -my name is Jan - I lost 23lbs during the Spring scorcer biggest loser ( thanks mexismom!) - next goal is same again!
I am 5 ft 5 1/2 inces and now approx 156 lbs - Friday weigh ins much better for me, as I tend to work weekend nights and can put on 2lbs of fluid in that time!!
Welcome everyone -feel free to add me as a friend I am on MFP every day - Australia time!0 -

I've been struggling to get down to 115 for the past few years and am finally hoping to set my mind to it an make it happen. I've heard great things about MFP and am hoping this group will help keep me motivated! Good luck everyone.0

Hi! I'm looking forward to a group challenge b/c I often don't stick with my self imposed ones! My problem: I don't workout and eat right because my job is so time consuming. I'm looking forward to a group challenge, so I have more motivation through the week, and get out of the office no matter what! I'm turning 34 right when this challenge ends, so my prize will be feeling & looking great for my birthday!0

Howdy, everyone! My name is Crystal and I'm from Tennessee. :-) I am 30 years old, 5'7" and weigh (as of last Tuesday) 246lbs. I know I have a long journey ahead of me and I'm hoping this challenge is just what I'm needing to kick off my weight loss. My first goal is to be "overweight". Lol. It's a silly way to say it but it's the truth. If I can get to 191I will be in the overweight category and weigh less than I have in years. My goal for this 9 week challenge is 20 lbs. It should be easily attainable if I can just stay on track! :-)
Good luck everyone! And I hope to see everyone slimmer and healthier at the end of this 9 weeks! We are strong and motivated and we will succeed! :-)0 -

Good morning, I just started with MFP and am very motivated to loose the 25lbs I put on when I quit smoking. I believe this method of friendly competition is right up my alley. I've just started reading others post and am really impressed with the weight loss in general.
Way to go everybody!!

Hello all! My name is Jeni. When I saw this group I said - Yep this is what I'm doing, this is the kickstart I was looking for!! I have been struggling with my weight all my life but it's only recently that I have actually been feeling the effects. I've always been in pretty good shape even though I was heavier than I should be, but now at 45 my body just doesn't like the extra pounds. I'm in this to be healthy, feel great and look great! I'm 5'7" and weigh 213 lbs. My goal is to hit 150 and see how that feels. I don't have any friends yet since I'm just starting, so please feel free to add me!!
I'm looking forward to this challenge and watching everyone's success!!0 -
My name is Sarah. I am tired of wearing stretch pants. I had my youngest daughter in Feb. 2010 and I kept on eating for 2, or 14, afterwards. I felt fat so I just continued eating-like that is logical at all, right? Hormones, I tell ya :O) So, now I am at 181 and want to at least get to 130. I am eating clean. I have a real problem with alcohol and I have been 1 week 1 day sober. I feel really motivated and think I may have tranferred my addiction from alcohol to getting healthy. SCORE!! I would love to have more friends on here for motivation and/or ideas.
Nice to meet ya!0
