Take 32095728.
After another hiatus of thinking "hey I'm fine I can do this by myself" I found myself to be a stinkin liar & am back to kick more *kitten* than before.
I'm 27, 5'7.5 (seriously, doctors said so) and my highest weight came in at 230. After months of trying and retrying (and some fabulous friends here at MFP) I dropped down to 174, the lowest I had been since before college. Proud of myself, I thought "I don't need no stinkin weight loss logs!" Andddddddd yeah. Currently I bounce around 176 - 179 and my ultimate goal is 150. I'm having a helluva time finding motivation and all of my motivational MFP friends deleted me from their lists (rightfully so, I had disappeared!)

I'm a zookeeper & animal trainer: I walk an average of 5-7 miles per day just at work (this does not include any of the lifting/dragging/wrangling/scooping we do); I'm learning how to *like* running and want to *love* it. I don't go to the gym (read: can't afford a membership) but have a longing to lift heavy.
I'm pretty damn goofy, redefining my hourglass shape (legit dude: big chest and helluva pair of hips) and love to give motivation (but I do need it back!) If you need tough love, and someone to push you while still offering a cookie (moderation, people) and celebration balloons and possibly a well placed "that's what she said" joke, then I'm your girl!

....so now that I'm done selling my soul (*cough* telling you how awesome I am) wanna be friends??

Hey Monster,
You can add me if you promise to share a funny story from the zoo from time.. bet you have a bunch!

I'm glad your back! I did triathalon traing for year and a half and then quit thinking I could do it on my own too. I gained back all I lost and more. You are not alone!!

I'm totally in the same boat. I messed up my ankle and was eating at maintenance in April then, since I was eating at maintenance, I was all like 'pssh i don't need to log' and sat on the couch for a month or so and went up a pound and a bit. oops.

Let's kick *kitten* together.
