    I am more trying to get toned then trying to lose weight. I am what everyone keeps calling "skinny fat"
    My arms are work, my thighs are fat, and my stomach has a pouch that needs to go away

    Hi all! I'm Sarah. I work at a desk all day and combine that with some unhealthy fast food habits, the pounds have slowly crept up on me over the past 10 years. I enjoy walking and am going to start Couch to 5K on 9/1. I currently walk no less than 2.5 miles per day, but I also need to work in some strength and core training. If anyone has YouTube workout recommendations, send them my way! Looking forward to trying to shed some lbs. over the next month!

    WELCOME EVERYONE! Looks like we all have something inspiring us to achieve our goal. Just a couple of thoughts I'd like to share to help me stay on track. As stupid as they might sound, they seem to work for me.

    * "Perfect practice makes perfect." When exercising, aim for perfect form rather than quantity.
    * "Always strive to go just a "little" further." Speaks for itself.
    * "Everything I do is done with the thought of burning more fat." I personally try and keep my core tightened throughout the day.

    Anyway, I'm sure you have your own motivators to keep you going, so KEEP GOING and results will soon add up (or down in our cases). Have a good rest and a greater day tomorrow!!

    Rick
    P.S... Keep logging what you do EVERYDAY!!! ;-)

    Hi, I'd love to participate. I'm 52 and this is my first week with myfitnesspal. I'm happy to have found this group. I use my Fitbit to keep me motivated and increase my steps. I've held onto this weight for too long! Time to lose it.
