In need of some motivation and encouragement. :)

Hello! So my name is Nicole, I've been using this site for almost a year now and it wasn't until a few months ago that I began to stray away from it. I've lost 20lbs so far, and I still have about 15 to go until my goal weight, and although I'm not necessarily gaining anything back, I'm definitely "loosening up" and my body isn't quite as tone as it was when I was working out regularly.

I've tried getting back into it, but it seems that most of my current friends are either busy or have given up on me (I don't blame them, lol it must be discouraging to see someone go missing for so long) and I'd love to make more motivational friends to share the journey with! I'm trying to log on more frequently and when I do come on, I love to encourage people as well, so really anyone can feel free to add me! The community here is great, and I hope we can all help each other, this whole weight loss thing isn't the easiest to do alone!

Hi Nicole!

No, this is by far the hardest thing I have ever done! Don't get me wrong, I am not done yet! I'd still love to lose another 40 pounds. But it does seem a bit better to do it with people that understand what it is like. People that are there to encourage you! I log in everday and keep count of all I eat and all the workouts I do! I am a Zumbaholic! I am there four or five times a week, it is a wonderful workout, I love to dance! If I am not there or swimming or walking (I change it up so I don't get bored!)

If I can do it! Anyone can! You have done great! Keep it up! If you ever want to write to me, I am here for you!

Happy Sunday!

Hey Lorraine!

Oh man, I would love to try Zumba, I've heard it's a blast, although I'm pretty terrible at dancing so I'm not sure if it would work out! Maybe I'll get some friends to try it with me someday. And it really is a struggle, isn't it? I've had some ups and lots of downs and it's just a huge rollercoaster, or so it seems. You seem extremely inspiring and encouraging, though, and I love your positive energy! I will definitely message you if I'm in need of some help, thanks so much for the offer!

Have a wonderful end of the weekend!

I haven't given up on you!! I just haven't been very dedicated lately but I'm back on track and logging everything so here's to getting motivated and keeping each other accountable!

Hey Nicole!

I'm only a week into my lifestyle change, and I've gotten weird looks and comments from friends AND family alike. ("No alcohol?! Come onnnn", "You're not getting into some weird diet thing are you?"). I would love to support you in your goals! It's nice to be able to talk to people who have the same health goals and make the same choices as you. It keeps you feeling sane and like you aren't alone lol! Feel free to add me, I love throwing around ideas about recipes, new workouts, ways to get cardio in a fun way, etc. Good luck on your healthy quest !
