For Real This Time.

courtneyy232

So here it begins...
I'm your typical myfitnesspal on and off user. I've started my journey to weight loss and healthiness time and time again, giving up each time. But this time is different. I feel more so motivated then ever before and more willing to push harder and try harder then ever before. Shoot, I'm even making my first post on here about myself which is something I've never imagined doing. Maybe reading so many different posts and seeing different progresses on here has finally flipped my switch, who knows. All I can really say now is I'm ready.
A little about me I'm 5'4" and currently 138lbs with a goal weight of 110lbs. I'm not confident and very unhappy where I'm at. I don't feel I am as healthy as I should be. I've set a mini goal of my own witch is to lose at least 5 pounds if not more by my birthday which is relatively close, August 2nd. I hope to make some great and motivational friends on here as I go on and really stay on track.
I'd love to hear great tips and workouts too! Add me(:

Hi there! We have the same height and weight, but different goals. Personally, I would not want to ever weigh 110 again, and 125 is the lowest I'd ever want to be. I am looking to build strength to improve my body composition and be more athletic in general for hiking and climbing, and am actually losing a little weight as I get stronger. I eat ~1900 cals a day. Feel free to friend me if you'd like some help or accountability.

Here's the Nerd Fitness article a poster above mentioned. You may decide to change your goals after reading it.

To be honest I'm not sure exactly what I want my goal weight to be.. I just know ever since I became so self conscious and uncomfortable with my body I've always just had a basic number in my head that I thought was perfect for me. The main goal above all to to be healthy of course. For me to be okay and relatively happy with my body I want to look slim not skinny and be toned. But everyone is different and has different outlooks about themselves. (:
