Hello. Not new, need more committed friends

Hello my name is Prisila. I am finally motivated, but I love to see the progress that others have been making. I recently got a Fitbit and have been becoming more active. I am a 7 year vegetarian and will graduate next spring. My goal is to be fit and healthy come that graduation day. I'm 5'6 and weigh 155lbs. I want to be 130lbs, but not to call myself skinny. I have been lifting weights and hope to turn some of this fat into muscle. Ultimate goal is to measure in at 18 percent body fat. I'm about 29% now. I'm on a 43 day streak here on MFP, I need more friends who log in daily with open diaries. Good luck everyone on your journeys. :)

    I have an open diary and log in daily. I am on a 47 day streak so far. The only problem is I'm about as far from vegetarian as you can get- I eat about 500g of meat daily! But if you'd like to add me, you're very welcome to. :)

    I am with you on needing more committed friends!!! Someone always starts with me but never sticks it out for very long. I always hold myself more accountable when I know someone is watching!!!

    Plus when you do lose a bit it would be nice to be notices, even if it isn't noticeable!!!

    Hi!! I am new here. I am Natalia and I live in Spain (so sorry for my English). p_cisneros2 Your story is so nice, I am sure you will do it with determination and a good attitude! :smile:
    I also have already proposed myself to be fit and eat well (I like chocolate and bakery, who doesn't? :blush: ) I love practising sport and I go to the gym 6 days a week I love it and I also enjoy it a lot! But my real problem is with the food! I love cooking as well so I will try to look for new and healthy recipes! I will try to share them with you! Thank you for reading :kissing_smiling_eyes:
