Hi Everyone! My name is Julie. I am a 34 year old mother of 1 daughter.

Hi Everyone!

I'm Sherri, from Wisconsin and will be 42 this Sunday. Looking forward to starting 2013 100lbs less than I started 2012.

I started at 260 and so far have only dropped 32lbs but I had a set back in mid-May that put me out of all exercise for over a month and a half - surgery.

I'm back on track now and wanting to continue my progress towards hitting that 100lbs mark for the year. But I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't hit it, cuz I'm going to weigh less than I have in many years!

I've been using MFP consistently since Jan even though I started here around Sept or Oct of last year. I wasn't committed and focused on weight loss at the time, I was just messing around. But after the new year, I had had enough. I was at the highest weight of my life, tired and hurting. Time to start focusing on my health and really losing weight.

I hope to lose enough weight so that I can get completely off my BP meds. I want to lose weight so I can wear a bikini for my husband! I want to lose weight and have people I haven't seen in a while do a double take when they see me!

Hi I am Michelle and 36 and a wife and mother of 4 year old and 1 year old boys. So, back in 2009 I started MFP and by September 2010 I was at 194. I was just shy of losing 50lbs. Well, then I got preggers with my second. I gained everything back with the pregnancy. After I had my son I got back down to 215 last summer and since then have had the hardest time getting in the groove and staying focused.
