Hey everybody! I'm Britta, I'm 21, and I'm tired of being the chubby girl. I've upped and down about 15 pounds a few times of the last year and a half and I'm sick of it.

And my freaking roommate make cupcakes today! Grrrrr. Andddd when I went to the bank, they decided to give me two lollies, the losers, one of those "the whole world is out to get me" days.

*Waves!*
 
Hey EveryOne,

Im Cerella:)30 yr old single mom of 2 girls, 4.5 and 14.5.I work overnights in a group home.

Ive been ready for a long time to shed my weight, i just really seem to have a hella hard time doing so. This last little while I have been giving it an honest hard go. Ive joined a boot camp , i exercise at work, ive cut my cals in half...

Here i go one last time.If I cant loose weight being accountable here, with both exercise and food then i aill be looking into alternative ways...IE. a naturopath and so on.

I plan on being focused and beign a good team member.
 
Hey everyone! So excited to start!

I'm 23, student, and 194.4. I'm up slightly from only a couple days ago, so I expect a big loss for this first week! Let's kick butt!

I'm really cutting down on the calories with 1400-1700 calories a week, and today did awesome with it! Went out and bought tons of fresh fruits and veggies, some lean turkey and chicken and am ready to go!

Hi fellow team members. My name is Kay. I am 37, married and have 5 kids(ages 14, 13, 9, 3, 2). I am looking to finally get to goal. At least get closer to goal. My lowest in this weight lose journey was 194 and now my butt is back at 217...I blame the holidays and my birthday. So now that that is all behind me I am ready to start kicking some butt again and get below 200. I think that will be my goal for this challenge...to get below 200. I have done weight watchers core plan before and really liked it so I am going to do it again, without going to the meetings though.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone and talking to you daily.
Kay
 
Hello! I'm Amber and I'm 27. I don't have any kids and I'm a middle school teacher, but all the attitude is bringing me down so I'm going back to school next year to become an accountant. Because I'm going to business school, I want (nay demand) cute businessy clothes. I used to ogle them daily when I worked at TJ Maxx years ago.
That and I like feeling strong. I'm also training for a half marathon on March 29, so exercise should be in the bag.

I'm sure we'll work together to kick Team 2's butt!!!
 
Hey, everyone on Team 1. I'm Trops, and I've been around here for about 8 months. I'm down roughly 45 pounds, but I have about 15-20 pounds to go.

Let's kick these guys right in their #2's. :smash:
 
Hey everyone, I'm Melissa, the spreadsheet creator. 33/divorced/no kids/got the last 15lbs to lose. LOL I'm super excited about doing this challenge with you all. If you have not done so already please go into the spreadsheet and update your starting info. Team #2 is all over it!! We need to be even better!!

Team totals are at the bottom of the spreadsheet. I'm loving scrolling through the exercise section to see what people are doing every day for exercise. It seriously is motivating!! I'm going to work out right now.

GO TEAM 1!! Thanks Claud for setting this up!
 
Hello there team :waving:. I'm Cassy I'm Married and have 2 kids, a 4 year old girl and a 1.5 year old boy. I think I finally have my plan down to a science and working for me so i'm HOPING to contribute A LOT of pounds to this team. I'll do my best and I know you all will too. Can't wait to kick some butt! Go Team! :hurray:
 
What's up hot ass bitches!!!

I'm Amy, 26, married, two-year old daughter, 8 year-old stepson. I enjoy Pina Coladas and dancing in the rain. Hah!

My story is a long and frustrating one. Go to my diary for details if you like. I wish to lose the remaining 30lbs of the baby weight. I have a hypothyroidism which has resulted in a rare metabolic condition that puts my MAINTENANCE calories around 1800-2000 rather than 2500-3000 like most females my age with my level of activity. I have to keep the calories below 1500 and work my ass off at the gym to lose just a little weight. I'm on medication and it is SLOWLY getting better so I think 2009 is the year I will finally get back down to 130lbs. Woot!

I am an avid runner and love to weight train. When my husband isn't off training or flying I run an average of 10-15 miles a week and weight train 90 minutes (3 days). We hike a lot on the weekends and stay very active. I don't think I will have a problem with the exercise points. LOL!

Current sizes:

Jeans/slacks - size 10
Shirts - Med

Here's a current pic of me taken last week while hiking with the kids.
 
Hello teammates, I'm so happy we're all doing this together. I'm a long time member but have actually GAINED weight since joining the forum. I had lost my baby weight and then gained some back. I'm 40 years old (eeek) and a mother of a 2.5 year old girl, my little sweetie. But this weight has been VERY hard to get rid of after having the baby. Anyway, I'm no stranger to dieting and working out so as long as I'm motivated I should have no problems. I dont lose weight so easily anymore like I always did before the baby, but I can at least get my exercise and eating points..I am sure hoping to lose 5 lbs or so too. One can always hope haha.
 
I just finished a quick break workout. I had 30 min with nothing to do, so I went up and down a flight of stairs for 15 min, then I grabbed two 50 pound sacks of sand and alternated walking while carrying one or both, picking up, putting down, whatever. Goddam, that's a hell of a workout. After 12 min of that I was shot. I finished out the last 3 min doing the stairs again. 30 min down for the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to get to the gym tonight for a nice split workout.
