Anyone want to start with me next Monday?

I'm hoping to really commit to this. Anyone who's starting next week and wants to try to do this together? Maybe by reporting to someone else, it will help! I'm looking to loose about 15 lbs.

    Start now. Any hour is good.

    This is a lifestyle change.

    You aren't on a "diet" , diets fail. Diets don't last forever.

    Just try to develop healthier LIFE habits. That means , yes you can have a cookie now and then.

    Add me, I can be a weight loss buddy.
  • Why wait for Monday. Start now. Right now. Right this very second. That is true dedication to a change.

    What are you looking to do? I'm trying to lose about 25-30lbs total yet. I need to do something in the next 6 weeks because my husband and I are going to Mexico! I'm working with a peronsal trainer doing cardio and weight lifting so I would love someone to check in with! Feel free to add me as a friend.! :-)

    Don't wait. Start with a walk and plan your next meal.

    You can add me if you like.

  • Hi!

    I started a couple of days ago, but I think it would be really motivating to be accountable to someone with similar goals. I would like to lose around 12 pounds. I used to run a ton, but injured my knee at the start of this past summer and was immobile for three months. I have to revamp my fitness routine around my knee and have just started trying new things. Mainly, I plan on using a stationary bike, a yoga dvd, and Jillian's 30 day shred as my workout tools. Slow and steady.

    Let me know what you think!

    Thanks,

    Amanda
  • I'm in :) I really really have to lose 15 pounds.
  • I agree why wait I started yesterday. Let's get going!

    I'm here to lose weight. But I've already started. Been tracking here for about a month and a half, been doing gym time for 3+ months. 23 pounds down so far and I plan to continue until I each my goal (about 40 more pounds)

    You can add me if you want someone to encourage/support you.

    But I agree with others about starting now. Or maybe even starting to make gradual changes leading up to Monday.

  • I am just starting my journey as well. I too would find it a help to have support and to be accountable to someone. I am really not sure how this all works but count me in!

    Yup, I'm all for not waiting pretty much another whole week. Start this moment. Log everything you've had to eat today (guess if you have to and worry about accuracy from this point forward), decide when you're going to get a workout in, and what you're going to do even if it's just a 15-20 minute walk outside. As long as it is something more than you did yesterday, then you're off to an awesome start.

    Kick this **** in the *kitten* and walk away laughing!

    I encourage you to start today! I had been trying to 'start on monday' for years. It wasn't until I started on a Saturday that I saw real success. I had been ready to stop waiting and start living...right that very day. And living is what I have been doing...couldn't be happier. Go ahead, start now!!!!! :) Good luck.

    I agree start when you are ready - you will feel better about it. It is easy to let people tell you what to do, because you are feeling guilty and then you get mad. Start on Monday - feel good about your journey and just remember if you oops just start again as soon as possible and you will get to where you want to go. You can do it!:wink:
  • Hello my name Angie,

    I had a doctors appt today and was shocked by the weight ive gained since my last visit(Aug4th)...I became upset, the triage nurse told me about myfitnesspal, so I joined today. Im getting married in May
  • Hey there, I just started yesterday and am also looking for support/motivation during this process. I want to lose 30lbs...just looking at the number scares me. I'm only on day 2 but so far things are going really well...having this online tool seems like it will help me out a lot...we'll see.
  • Im looking to lose 20lbs..health reasons and my upcoming wedding in May, something I can maintain for the future. just joined today and getting use the site, the more ppl I can connect with the better..
  • Wow! SO many responses so quickly! The reason I'm going for Monday is because we're going on vacation this weekend.
  • Ah, yes! Holidays! They will be the ruin of me. Every time I get myself on track and I'm doing well some kind of holiday comes up. Last week-end it was Edmonton and this week-end it's camping. I had lost 4lbs and gained it all back in 4 days :( Going to try to keep up with the healthy eating this week-end so I don't come back weighing even more.
  • My bestfriend used this site and lost a lot of weight before her wedding..she looked amazing! I'm losing weight for my upcoming 30'th birthday....30 lbs by 30? hahaha
