I'd like to join, although I'm a few days late. Name: Selena Age: 39 Weight on 7/1/16: 173.3 CW: 172.2 GW: 135 Challenge Goal: 8 lb loss by August 1st Weight lost since I started using MFP on 3/22/16: 43.1 lbs

9 lbs, which I think was mostly water weight.

Amazing progress, thanks for sharing your story.

I'm a photographer and I don't see evidence of Photoshopping. Great job and congrats, my fellow Alaskan, you look amazing.

My daughter wears that size, the only place she can find bras is Aerie.

After three years post hike injury and poor conditioning due to weight gain, I was able to hike again last weekend. Immediately following my hike I went for a 5.5 mile walk. Three months ago, I could do neither.

I agree with this. Start slow. I am asthmatic and have a really high resting heart rate so little activity puts me at my max hr making it difficult to breathe and continue any sort of run. I started off walking at a brisk pace and slowly increased my pace for almost two months before I could get through the first C25K run.…

If it's not too late, I'd love to join. smalone907@gmail.com

I'm in! I was doing great for a couple of months but have gotten lazy in May, so something like this would help me stay accountable.

I'd love to join!

I'm up for some challenges. My daily goal is 12k steps https://www.fitbit.com/user/2GY78H

Yes, this! And putting socks on, tying shoes, etc. Also scratching my back without a scratcher and crossing my legs when I sit. My biggest NSV has to be lowering my blood pressure though.

The story of journey to better health is inspiring. Keep up the great work!

Incredibly awesome! You're so right, making that mental change is so important to success. Keep up the great work!

Have you had your thyroid tested?

The Fitbit is a great tool. The challenges are fun and motivate me to get in my daily steps, if not more. With that said, I think the Fitbit gives more steps than people actually take, so I set my minimum daily step goal to 12k steps, which in reality is closer to the recommended 10k steps per day. My average is about 16k…

My family likes to dip apple slices in nut butters. For a healthier version go for a tart apple with a natural nut butter with no sugar added (all measured of course).

I'm just building up my network as well, it's nice knowing you aren't doing this alone. Feel free to add me.

Thanks for sharing, you look amazing! This is very inspiring.

Hello, I'm not vegan, but have lots to lose. I love hiking, but have done very little of it in the last few years due to injury and weight gain. I'm ready to get back to nature. I live in Alaska and have 68 lbs to lose. I've lost 17 so far thanks to MFP helping me stay accountable.

The following Vince Lombardi quotes, which could obviously apply to life in general. "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand." "The only place success comes before work is in the…
