    I could do with a mentor!
    I'm 24 UK, 5ft3 weigh 10st4lb
    30.9%bf
    My goal is to get into the best shape that I can.
    I go to the gym twice a week and do home workouts for 3 days a week. Having a child I can't make it to the gym more often.
    I'm okay at exercising and learning new things to try all of the time.
    Food is my struggle! I love food (Just not always good food) & I am the worse for boredom eating!
    I struggle to know whats good and whats bad and how to meal prep effectively so advice from others would be great!

    I would be more than happy to mentor anyone looking to achieve their goals. My background...I have a master's degree in exercise physiology and still am certified with the American College of Sports Medicine. I have been working out for about 27 years (man, I'm old!). I currently don't personal train any longer, but would love to give advice to anyone looking to improve themselves!

    I'm happy to be a mentor! I'm 25 years old from the Boston area. I've been on MFP since 2011. I started at 195 lbs and 29% body fat. I am currently 142lbs, 19%BF. I primarily weight train, very little cardio. I'm a certified personal trainer and extremely knowledgeable about nutrition/ MACROS. I would LOVE to help/support/guide someone who really wants to change their lives and is willing to put in the work!

    I look forward to hearing from you! :smiley::smile: :smile:

    Hey, I'm 20 from Toronto and would love to be adopted. 2.5 years ago I used to be at my ideal weight, constantly going to the gym and healthy. Since then I've put on 26 pounds (I am now 138 and 5'4) and would like to get back to my old self, but with a more athletic and toned body rather than really slim.

    Adopt me ples :') I'm new, 22 almost, 5ft2.5, female, VERY sedentary and 9st3lb. So technically health y bmi but my body is so flabby!! I have health problems that make it hard for me to loose weight :'( I'm going to the gym and doing very light workouts to tone as my health problems stop me doing anything more 'intense'. Used to be obese and now I'm here and all saggy and flabby and haven't had progress in 6 years! I've recently lost a stone on my own but I've come on here to make sure I go further.

    Someone adopt me please. :)

    About me:
    I'm 36 (until next month...boo) 5'11" 126.6lbs ( yes, I know I am underweight) I am skinny fat though. I have body fat to get rid of. I do not have access to a gym or weights so I am stuck with my own body weight. I do have resistance bands though. I am doing my best to clean up my eating habits. I mostly do cardio. I need to incorporate more strength training and that's pretty tough. I have a bad knee so squats and various exercises can be a real challenge some days. I also have huge screws in my pelvis (completely shattered and broke my pelvis years ago in a car accident). I got the doctor ok to workout long ago so that is of no concern... just some days I have pain and have to limit what I can do (especially if it is cold outside).

    I need someone to help me with the strength training without weights. I am kinda lost and not sure what's best. I know that cardio is good and all, but I will not lose body fat and tone up without the strength portion.
    Please.... someone help motivate me and kick my butt in gear. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. <3

    I wish everyone much success o their fitness journeys. Good luck! You can do it!!!
