in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I just started actively using MFP and am looking for some friends who are in it for the long haul and are motivated.

I started exercising regularly in February. There was a fitness challenge at work and that's what got me started. Since then I haven't looked back. I go to the gym or go running 4-5 times a week and I've started going to yoga classes regularly. I love yoga, walking/running and strength training. I have learned a lot these past few months but I still have A LOT to learn! Hope to meet some of you and continue this awesome journey together!

    Hi Sharilyn! I've been on MFP a while but I'm new to the message boards. I'm also looking for motivation buddies. I'll add you! I've never been thin, but I have been a lot healthier in the past. I've gained a lot of weight over the past 2 years and I am now ready to get rid of it for good! When I was younger (I'm only 29ish now) I played womens rugby, ran a marathon, and loved hot flow yoga, but I've been really unhealthy and inactive the past couple years. I'm ready to get back to a healthier version of me! Hopefully we can motivate and encourage each other! :)

    I have a ultimate goal of losing 70lb! I would love to be friends with you and try to keep each other motivated. I log in everyday and I am pretty consistent. I'll send a request. :)

    I log mostly everyday. Every now and then I have to work on Saturday (I'm a wedding photographer) so I don't spend any time online those days to log stuff. But the wedding season is over now, so I'm logging practically every day. I need motivated friends as well :)

    I sent a request and anyone else is welcome to add me as well. Can't ever get too much motivation and support that is for sure.

    Yay! Thanks for responding everyone! Apparently I joined MFP 2 years ago - I had started to get in the groove but quickly lost interest. This time around it's really been a major lifestyle change for me and I am loving it! Can't wait to see you guys around and share our successes :)
