I guess I should have properly introduced myself...
I am Kimberly, Mommy of 2 boys, 3 years old and 10 months old. I have been married to my wonderful husband for over 4 years. I lost 50 lbs back in 2007 on LA Weight Loss and the got pregnant in 2008 and gained it all back. I am miserable with my weight but happy with my life, which I am guessing why I cant get motivated to lose weight again. I am looking for lots of inspiration and motivation here. My friend is sending me a copy of the 30 day shred and I cant wait to get started. TBL Show was my biggest inspiration back in 2007! I am so excited for the show to start! I plan on buying a Red BL shirt from ebay to wear while I am exercising!
Hi ALL. I am so excited to apart of this challange and to be apart of the RED Team! I am 26yr old, engaged to be married next June. I have lost 48 pounds to date and I am struggling to lose 12 more! We are planning for a baby in the next year so I want to be as healthy as possible and also to stay in shape during pregnancy. I hope to reach my goal of 150-155 by the end of this challenge. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and also to give and get support. It really is key in my WL.
Hey guys, I'm new to your team, I was one of the missed messages about weighing in, so was added today. I'm Meredith, am 35, and have 2 kids, aged 3 and 4. I was overweight but always pretty healthy in high school and college, playing sports. Now I've let myself go, with having 2 kids so close together and working a stressful job, and here I sit at 247.6, trying to get rid of the extra weight. I've lost about 15-20 lbs from my highest weight, but it has been very slowly, over the last year and a half. I want to lose it faster, but I need some motivation and accountablility. I'm going to be monitoring my calorie intake, and trying to get back into exercising. I'm looking forward to being on the Red team, and getting to know everyone.
Hi Fellow Red Team Members! I am a married, 39 year old stay at home mom with 2 sons. This is my first BL challenge and I'm so excited. I just started my weight loss journey last week, when I posted my starting weight and I've lost 4.8 pounds so far. There's nothing like the thrill of the first week back on plan! I'm looking forward to all of the mutual support and motivation that's offered here!
bradley'smom - It sounds as though you are in a similar boat as me. We can do this. I am looking forward to running around with my boys and not getting out of breath. I just bought the 30 day Shred and will be starting this weekend.
CakeBatter - CONGRATS on your upcoming wedding. I am sure you will look stuning!
shea- Oh the wonderful side effects of having kids close together! You can do this!
wfonseca - Wow! You are getting close to having your little one! You must be so excited!
Hi everyone. I'm Amber, 45, and a SAHM to two boys away at college. This is my first challenge but I needed to extra support since all the things that use to take up my time are no more. I am a "bored or stressed" eater. I may be a little quite to start off with because even on the other side of the computer I'm still a little shy.
I walked 2 miles yesterday. Major accomplishment since I don't like exercise.
CanadaMel~ Congrats on hitting the halfway mark!!!
MissVitality~ OUCH!!! This might make you feel better… I dislocated my knee attempting to slide into third base while playing in a town softball game last summer, when I hadn’t slid into any base since I was 12… I landed with all my weight on my right knee… (picture a good sized woman planting her left foot into the dirt only to end up on her right knee, followed by her face) I laughed about it, ended up getting batted home, then ran to the porta potty to yak as I went into shock and pushed my kneecap back into place. There were over 100 people watching, so I was totally embarrassed…
Aclai4067~ No YMCA nearby unfortunately, but if I get a year membership at the one in town, it’s only $40, compared to the $80 monthly charge…
chiquita623~ Yay! Kick in the behind will be needed often here!
bradleys mom~ I feel you on not being happy about our weight, but loving life, I feel the same!
CakeBatter~ You look AMAZING!!! Weight Watchers Thread… You were always so great at pushing everyone so I’m super excited to be in a challenge with you!!!
I found an awesome chili cheesy mac recipe from weight watchers that I plan on trying out tonight! Lots of moving today, so I feel like I’m really starting to get on track… I’m being super impatient though as I can’t wait for the challenge to start!!!
I am so ready for this to start, ive been exercising more and trying to keep my calories set so it will be easier when it come time! I cant wait!!! I am Danielle, Im 19 and i recently got married 9 months, i work in at safeway in the bakery! I am happy i am vegan working there, everything smells soooo good.

I am so happy because I didn't know I needed to weigh already, so I got moved to the RED team, and that is team I really wanted to be on! I love Jillian and was a little disappointed to be on the Blue. God works in mysteries ways! GO RED!!!! I have already lost 91 pounds and I still have 58 - 72 lbs. to go, depending on how I look at 140 lbs.
