in Motivation and Support
Hey everyone!

I've been on MFP for a while and I definitely have met some really cool people. I'm just in need of someone who can be a diet buddy/fitness buddy who I can share the journey with. Hopefully someone who is serious about reaching their goal and is encouraging! :-D

I am 25, weigh 165.8 and ultimate goal is to be within 115-125... also, I run, do taebo, yoga etc and am working on eating healthy and dedicated to reach my goal this year. For me, 2011 is the YEAR OF COMPLETION!!!

Look forward to making some MFP friends!

    Hi I am with you! I am trying to get to 135.... that is my "BC" size (before children). I will be there with you, I do P90x, Carmen electra strip to fit, and 10 min pilates. I want to be at my size by September in time for my 10 year anniversary. Let me know what I can do to support you. Do you want to do a weekly entry, with weight, high of the week, low of the week and maybe the next weeks goal? Let me know.

    My goals are in your range as well. Started out at 161. Now at 156. Goal is 140. I am
    highly motivated and commited to acheiving success once and for all. It's truly a complete
    lifestyle change. No looking back! I make it to the gym anout 4 times a week. I am ready to
    cheer to victory.

    I am on the same road you are. I am so close to my pre baby weight but still
    need some support. I do zumba, turbo jam and run on the treadmill. I have a few
    Friends that I introduced to MFP and they love the support they get.

    Me too! I need to get down to about 135, from 160ish. I definitely did it before and it was a breeze, so with enough support I'm sure I can do it again! I'm in my LAST year of law school! I have a lot of changes going on in the next year or so and I don't want to worry about if an outfit will fit or if I'm in shape... :)

    Also, I signed up for the Chicago half marathon in September, so I'm getting serious about running!

    :)

    Hey I'm also looking for buddies to keep me on track. Similar age and goals (25 and 35 lb) I'm kind of mad at myself cuz I started out weighing 155 and got down to abt 142-3 when I stopped nursing my baby (she's 15 months) well over the past 6 months I gained abt 20 pounds and I really want to lose abt 30-40 pounds. My pre baby weight was 120. Any tips u can help me w/?? Right now I'm trying to eat more veggies n drink water. It's been tough getting to the gym though...

    I would love a buddy! I've been a member of MFP for 1 week now and have lost 1 pound. I am 27 and my goal weight is 140-145 lbs. I've been fat all of my life and I want to lose this weight before my husband's birthday in June and our 10 year anniversary in December. I go to the gym every day during my lunch hour. Good luck to all of you and I'm so glad to meet you!

    I'm a bit (ha!) older, but in the same boat. Want to get around 135, about 19 pounds to go. It's good to see people who care more about their health and fitness than just the number!

    HI!!! I am in the same goal range as well. Trying to get to about 125. That would be ideal. I need some people to keep me accountable for my diet and exercise.

    I am in the same boat and in need of support, encouragement and inspiration! I am 27, no kids. Been doing P90X for 2 years (09-10'). I was 170lbs and got down to 140ish and am back up to 158 BOOOO!!! I want to be 115-120 though and hopefully by this summer so I can look cute again. My goal is to make this a lifestyle and make the weight loss stick for good along with the eating habits and working out. I am now doing Insanity work outs and they've been kicking my bootie! YAY! Feel free to add me as your friend!!! :)
