    Hi, I surely wouldn't mind joining all the other fitness buddies.

    Here's my deal:

    Age/Gender: 52/Male
    Original Weight (2013): 368
    Current Weight: 247
    Current Loss: 121
    Goal Weight: 217
    Goal Loss: 151

    I'm trying to lose the last of my flab by Labor day. I'm doing a Tough Mudder (10-12 mile obstacle course, in rolling countryside in 11 weeks) with a team of people who are much fitter than I am and I don't want to embarrass myself too much. Then, I'm hoping to finish off this journey with a bang, by doing a few small triathlons over the summer. I've got two problems: (1) my weight has remained roughly stuck where it is for 5 months; and (2) I just can't seem to drag myself to the gym or go out to start running again (I was shut down due to some minor leg problems for a few months).....and, I'm running out of time if I'm going to do meet my goals.

    I need to keep my daily calories between 1900-2200 and aim high on protein.

    Plus, drag myself out to do fat burning exercise at least 6x/week. On Saturday mornings, I do a double class - so what I need is 4 other times/week where I burn 400-600 calories.

    Looking forward to being a "buddy".

    I could use some pals! I'm 47 and I used to know how to do this, was a chubby kid, took it off and kept it off for years, but over the last 4 years I've gained 30lbs and cannot stay motivated...beat myself up ever Sunday night, weekends are a killer!

    Hey there! My goals are about the same as yours!

    I really let myself go during nursing school and gained forty pounds in a little over two years from inactivity. I'm working 12 hour shifts now in the ER. Finally used to the schedule and ready to start getting healthy and fit again! Add me!

    I would love to have some friends. I joined two weeks ago.
    I am 47 and have 30 lbs of menopause weight to lose. I had gained 40 and lost 10. This is heaviest weight ever except when I was pregnant going up or down.
    I am 201.5lbs.
    I want to get down to 170, but 160 would be great.
    I also have MS, which hasn't helped, but I am lesion free right now.
    I eat a clean diet and started back competitive swimming in October. (15 year hiatus)
    I have two teenage boys and am doing pretty well with my new diet. I don't eat refined sugar and eat a ton of veggies and fruits. My change I made two weeks ago was to get a better mix of protein in with my veggies and fruit. Now I am starting to see a drop after two years of not dropping at all.

    Would love the extra support.

    I started about month ago but I am looking to drop another 15 lbs in the next 3 months. I am a mom of 3 kids and find that the friends in mfp have been invaluable this for. They all motivate me on days when I can't seem to motivate myself. Hope to join up for the journey.

    Hello everyone. So heres me, im not sure on the short letter thing (kinda new on commenting on here) so im
    5'2
    Weigh 193.6lbs (current yesterday)
    I have a goal of 170lbs (ik its a lot :blush: )but i did it before.
    I have 3 girls (7,4, & 8mth old) after this last pregnancy i had a long recovery time, so my "bby fat" kinda stayed with me. At my highest weight (wout being preg) was at 198lbs in december 2016. Before i got preg, i worked out, did zumba and ate healthy, i was at 171lbs but then i got preg and i let go :neutral: so started loosing it.
    Now that were done with babies :smiley: im done slacking off. I plan on getting to my goal, and the support aside from my husband would be helpful. We can do this guys! Even if its 5lbs or 50lbs, everything is possible! Thank you! GB

    I'm a 28yr old Mom of 3. Genetics have not been on my side, so I've decided that since I don't fall in the 'lucky' group, I will make my own luck. I'd like to be down about 25 pounds for the summer. I'm a big camper and love to hike. But my size and fitness level has been holding me back.
    Just joined this week and looking for friends who are like minded, live positive, offer support, tips and the all might yummy recipe.
