Hi Everyone!

I stumbled upon the thread in the boards and was so happy to find this group, although i'm a little late to the party. I just wanted to introduce myself and mention my goals.

I need to lose about 15 lbs

My goals are
stick to calorie intake
walk 10,000 steps a day (via fitbit)
try to get at least 30 min of exercise a day
bike 10 miles twice a week
increase water intake

Im also up for some new friends. I love MFP but I left for a while and now i'm back so new friends are always nice to help motivate and support.

thanks and happy to be here!

    Welcome Ladybug. I love your weekly targets - going to steal some of them during August!

    Welcome Ladybug.

    What timeframe did you set yourself to reach your goal?

    Thanks ladies. I guess I want to be 5 lbs down this month. I think a pound or pound and a half per week is a good strategy and one I can handle!

    Welcome!

    I know I am struggling with the keeping my calorie intake down and also keeping my steps up to 10,000 per day. I have been biking more which gives me a great calorie burn but I seem to eat most if not all of those calories. And any day I bike I I just do not get enough steps.

    I swear, these last 10lbs are a pain to get rid of. It seems that, so matter how strictly I stick to my calories (or not), the scale just wont budge much.

    I agree - those last few pounds are stubborn. Hopefully we can figure out how to get rid of them.
