in Introduce Yourself
I have tried MFP before, but always gave up because I don't have much support at home when it comes to losing weight. But this time I want to do it no matter what. I want to be healthier and lose weight.

I'm Lee. I'm 25 yrs old, and as I already said I'm from Spain.

I weight 229 lbs right now, but my main goal is to weight 177 lbs.

I would love to make friends here. People who is going through the same things I do. I mean, people who has started to lose weight not long ago or are just starting again like me, and have their "Gah, this is so hard. But I can't give up even if I want to" moments, and stuff like that. I know it's always easier to stay strong if you have MFP buddies who feels your pain and who you can exchange advice and experiences with.

I don't follow a strict diet, but try to eat as healthy as I can, and I'm doing Zumba everyday 30-50 mins. I NEVER do any kind of exercise, so it's hard for me to get used to it. But I want to use Zumba as a way to get used to daily exercise and then keep adding exercise (fitness, walking, running, ... so on)

Well, evidently english isn't my first language so please ignore any mistake I make. :P

I hope someone is willing to befriend me. Let's help each other!

    Hey there!

    I recommend it! I haven't been doing it for long (only 5 days) but I'm happy with it. I tend to get tired of video work outs quickly or they're too hardcore for me (since I'm not used to doing a lot of exercise), but Zumba is great. It's fun but you know you're working out. I always end sweating so much.

    I already accepted your friend request. Thank you so much! Good luck!

    Awesome! I love dancing so I think I'd like it. :) I'll have to try it out soon. I'll be on vacation with my family for the next week (my dad is running a 100 mile race!) but I'll try it once I get back next week!

    Thanks for the add Lee!! :)

    @Iansmommy1230 : I will add you right now. The more MFP buddies, the better.

    @ginbookus: You will love it. I love salsa, merengue, etc. So Zumba is perfect for anyone who loves to dance.

    Hola bienvenidos a MFP, por cierto de que parte de España vives? No soy una Española pero mi novio es de Logroño.

    Trankila your English is good, actually I'm also struggling with that language especially that I'm juggling between 3 languages at the same time, hehehe

    Anyway feel free to add me if you want.

    I did take some Salsa classes when I was living in France actually, and really enjoyed them! I spent 3 months living in Bilbao as well, but my Spanish has gotten worse since I spent all of last year speaking only French! :/

    Soy de Cantabria. Está en la costa norte de España.

    I prefer to warn people anyway, because I'm a little bit shy about my english.

    @ginbookus I took Salsa classes in the past too. I love it. That's why Zumba is so easy to get used to even tho it's a work out video. In the end, it feels like being in a Salsa class. OH!! Bilbao, really? I live very at 30 mins from Bilbao. :P

    ¡Hola, Lee! Another Spanish girl here, from Valladolid :)
    I'm here to lose some pounds for the summer (11 lb) and be fit! I don't have much support either and I'm tired of hearing "you don't need to lose weight". Well, maybe I don't NEED it, but I want to feel good and be happy with my body. Is that so bad? I don't think so.

    Just keep your goal in mind and keep going! You'll find a lot of motivation here in the forums.
