Hi! My name is MaKayla, I'm 19, and I'm from Michigan.

I've always been a bit chubby since I was a kid, and I've decided it's time to finally get rid of that extra fat.

I'm 5'8" and I was heaviest at 244. Currently, I'm at 223.8, and my final goal is 155! Whoo!

I'm excited about this site, it seems really awesome, helpful, and supportive!

Hi! My name is Tacie. I've always had a passion for health and fitness, but after giving birth to 5 kids (4 girls, 1 boy ages 14-4) and being put on medication for migraines, I was struggling. I'd gained weight that I just couldn't seem to get rid of, despite hours at the gym - lifting weights, running and spinning. Due to a couple of personal family setbacks, I was battling a mild depression and I just didn't feel like myself. I was desperately looking for a way to make permanent changes towards better health. I wanted to feel better, look better, and to set an example for my kids.
I lost 25 pounds in just a couple of months implementing daily habits of health. I lowered my cholesterol and I no longer dread when the alarm clock goes off! I have renewed confidence that I can accomplish anything I want to do. I'm so grateful for a new lease on life and look forward to aging healthier than ever! I love being inspired by other people's transformation stories. I'm always looking to motivate and be motivated by others stories of health, fitness, weight-loss and obstacles that have been overcome! I know that support is crucial to maintaining my health goals and I'm glad I've found this group.
