Looking for motivational friends

trishalackin

Hi Everyone!
I'm Trish. I will be 30 this month. I have lost 58 lbs, and I still have 60 to go. I had originally lost 80lbs, but I hit a huge rut and gained a lot back. I am back in the game and going stronger than ever. I'm in it to win it, and I'm looking for encouraging friends to both support and be supported by.

I am currently doing about one hour of exercise a day, and sticking to 1300 calories (depending on exercise this amount increases). I do not eliminate anything fully from my diet, but I do stick to mostly fresh produce, lean meats, low fat dairy, and complex carbs.

I have a husband and 2 children (ages 6 1/2 and 2). I am a busy stay at home mom, but I am slowly learning which sacrifices I can make to increase my healthy lifestyle habits. Currently, my floors are very dirty, toys aren't getting put away, and laundry gets done when we're out of socks. BUT! I get that workout in.

Goals:
10 lbs down by March 26th.
120 minute minimum strength training a week
150 minute minimum cardio a week
Jog a consistent one mile by April 26th (I'm no jogger, so this will be difficult)
Run first 5k by December 2015

Join me on my journey, and let's kick unhealthy habits in the guts!

Love your attitude and plan! Want to be friends. My goals are maintenance and regular exercise. Preferably yoga and riding but going to walk run a 10k this spring. Want to be friends in fitness journey?

Hello,

I'm a 29 year old SAHM and student from Ontario. I've lost 20 lbs since starting Weight Watchers in October. But I also track calories as I feel it helps me not over eat. Ive been on here before. And signed back on today as an extra source of motivation. My final goal weight is undecided. But I know I'd like to lose at least 50 more.

My March Goals are:

Walk 50 miles
Hit water goal daily
Add vegetables at every meal

I give myself goals every month. Then the next month I add more while still maintaining the others. I'd love to have any friends, that are down to support my journey, who are dedicated and need support as well:)

Hi I am new to MFP and this is the first time in my life I've ever actually tried to lose weight before. I recently realized I weighed more than I ever have in my life before and I'd like to get back to my ideal weight which for me is 125lbs. I am 5'4" and 26 years old. I currently weigh around 137lbs but I was up to 144lbs when I first decided to start making changes. I am currently participating in a 100 day challenge at my gym. I am on week 4 and am trying to get to 125lbs by the first week in May.

I just started using MFP to track my calories and I also got a fitbit charge HR to help track my calories burned.

add me if you have a fitbit too !

Hi im a 28 year old SAHM, i have lost 30lbs since september 4th, my goal is to lose 6to 8lbs a month for the next 4 months. I watch my calories 1,400 a day, run 3 miles/ day (weather permitting even here is VA) and im working on weight training. I do lose motivation a lot bc ive been stuck at the same weight for the past few months and i cant seem to lose no matter what i do, eat or dont eat. Im pushing myself 110% bc i want to reach my goal for this month.
