60 lbs to go!

Greetings from Orlando, FL

Even thought I joined my fitness pal more than a year ago, I am a newbie. I never used this site before and I gained about 20 lbs since that time, went from 182 in 2012 to 200 in January 2014, then when back to 192 on Monday 3/19/14 . I have lost 2 lbs since Monday and I am planning to keep on going this time.

My reasons for losing weight are:

1- I want my confidence back
2- Health
3- I love fashion and I can't wear most of the stuff I like.
4- I want to be a spartan! ( obstacle course challenge race)

and finally my wake up call: my relationship. My boyfriend and I gained a lot of weight since we started dating, There is a lot of love but we are losing attraction. On my pictures you can see a before and after. The before is when I used to be more fit ( when we started dating) and the after... well that is me now.

I am doing a lot of exercises from running, push ups, burpees, dancing, kayaking and more.

I am looking for more friends on here... so, feel free to ADD ME.

    Hi there! I have about 60 lbs to lose too and I've gained the weight during my relationship as well (I'm recently married and gained throughout dating, engaged, marriage). I'd love to be your friend and support and motivate each other! I'll send you a friend request!

    Hey ladies! I've been back on my bandwagon for about a month. I am hoping to have lost 30 lbs by the end of May, but we'll see if it happens! I've gained weight from my years in college. My husband and I just got married in June of last year and we've been together for years before then. We are looking to start a family one of these days and I'd love to get 60 lbs off before we start trying!

    Feel free to add me! I've been looking for active MF pals to keep up with during the journey.

    :)
