Getting Fit (and making friends)

in Introduce Yourself
Hello all! I'm looking to make some new friends in the fitness world, because I don't have any friends locally that are into fitness, at least not to lose weight. I'm attempting to get healthy, get fit, and I know I need to lose weight to do that. I'm going to be more focusing on getting stronger, and then hope that the weight just comes off at the same time, versus hyper focusing on the pounds and the fat.

I've been going to a gym, and seeing a personal trainer, and that's been great. I am also taking part of a december accountability challenge where I have to stay under my calorie count and exercise for at least 20 minutes a day. So far I'm 2 for 2, and want to keep it up. I've been on point with trackign the last week, and actually really proud of myself, and the changes so far.

Would love to meet some new friends (geeky people are a bonus)!

    I will say that being sick is making wanting to be good SUPER hard.

    I never try when I’m sick. Figure I’m fighting the illness why fight other things too. Hope you feel better soon.

    Been on MFP just a couple of weeks after starting my journey 11/1/18... I am down 17.2 pounds, but know I will need help staying motivated... I don't know how to add friends, but will accept requests. :smiley: (And I am a bit of a geek/nerd too!)
