What a coincidence! I'm heading out on my 50th birthday cruise in September and would love to be near my goal weight as well. Nice to know I'm not the only one working hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 50 is the new 40! Lol!

Thanks for the health-ful reminder! We forget weight loss / exercise go hand in hand with nutrition. Made me rethink what I would want to eat vs. what I really should eat. Makes sense! Appreciate it!

I'm ready... let's do this!

Very cool!

Hi, I'm Tanya, looking forward to feeling and looking better. My goals are realistic. Just want to be healthy. I'm 5'6", current weight 173.8. Goal 3/20 - 168lb Goal 4/17 - 163lb Goal 5/15 - 158lb Goal 6/12 - 153lb Good luck to all!

Hi, I'm Tanya! Looking forward to getting back on track. Recently experienced minor injuries and was unable to get to the gym. My love for snacking and sitting still have added a few very unwanted pounds. Lol! Need the accountability to form the habit and start all over. It will be worth it, I need it.

Hi, my name is Tanya from Maryland. My weight has been up and down for the past two years due to stress and two minor injuries. Getting to the gym was tough. Just want to get back on track and lose about 15 pounds. The motivation and accountability from a team of like minded people will be phenomenal. Looking forward to…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I really appreciate the support. I'm going to push through and stay focused. Having your support means the world to me!

Hey, there .,,, going to skip weigh in this week. Not sure why but my weight is spiking up and I'm almost too embarrassed to post it. But I'm going to keep pushing thru and pray for a better week. Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks for understanding! I thought it was just me.

Despite my efforts, I'm up - 163.4. So tempted to just give up. For some reason my body is just holding on to this weight range. Ughh! But I'm going to forge ahead, stick with it and push thru. Not going to be an easy twelve weeks I see. Smh!

Hi, Everyone! I'm Tanya - here we go .. :) Starting weight - 162 lbs. Week 4 - 158 lbs Week 8 - 154 lbs Week 12 - 150 lbs Good luck and happy / healthy eating! :)

@cj99404 - sounds like we have the same life. It's not a good feeling. But I'm determined to push forward. My health and well-being are to important. And so is yours.

Hi, Everyone! This is Tanya and I'm on round two! The first round was definitely a learning experience. I'd never joined a group before and did not know what to expect. I actually began to look forward to the weekly check ins even when I was struggling. I'm now ready to push forward through the next 12 weeks. Definitely…

Thanks so much for doing this. I started out strong but faltered towards the end but I'm still happy. I'm certainly not where I was when we started in February. Final weight is 164.8. Not great but I'm already signed up for round two. I've learned alot about my habits - things that work and those that did not and derailed…

Hi, there I'm 47 and live in Maryland. My hope is to ward off the stress of my job and emerging health concerns with healthier eating habits and more exercise. The motivation to keep going would be great! I look forward to taking this journey with you! :)

163 - no change but I'll take it. Going to make that final push to meet goal. :)

I have used WW in the past and it does work. It take an consistent effort to plan, prepare and track your meals and snacks. Concepts are very similar to MFP in that you can eat what you want in moderation. When I discovered MFP, I was pleased because I could use the same healthy habits I'd learned with WW and so far, its…

163. I should have known it was too good to be true but it's a small increase. I'm happy with that! Lol! I'm game for part 2. Having the group has been a tremendous help to me. I'm willing to push myself further.

162.6 - I'm stunned... happy but stunned. Making better food choices and I'm not feeling deprived. It's really working. :)

164.2 - not much but I'm good with it. :)

164.6 - much better than I expected. :)

Traveling for work this week. Will post when I get home on Saturday. Regardless of what the scale says, I am proud of my healthier choices this week. I was a little concerned. Fingers crossed that it will pay off.

166 - back in the right direction despite the busy week I've had. :)

If I remember correctly, week 1 for us was used to record our starting weight.

166.2 - not a great week. I think it was the pizza... lol! But all in all I feel good. My pants are not as snug. Didn't have that god-awful line around my tummy as if I'm being strangled to death by my clothes. Lol!

165.6 - not much but I actually feel great this week.

It's been a little tough but so far, so good. Looking forward to getting to the gym this week. And hoping to mix up my food options. I don't want to get stuck making the same food choices so if anyone has any ideas for healthy meals or snacks I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

165.8 - Was a little nervous about this week but so far so good.

167 - so far, so good! :)
