in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I have been on mfp for a while but have left a come back a few times.
I see posts where people talk about life getting in the way and I can say, without hesitation, I completely understand.
A little about me. I am a personal trainer, coach, I do a body work called Muscle Activation Techniques, I am a national competitor in a sport called hydrofoiling. I am raising a grandson and was raising 2 grand daughters who just went back to live with their mom in September. I have been married for 31 years have 5 kids and 8 grand kids.
Life often "gets in the way". So here I am, asking for support and letting you know I will be on your cheering and accountability team too.
Let me know if you are up for the challenge of holding this crazy lady accountable. 8-)

    Your sure active. I also have been married 30 years one grandchild on the way. Lately I have been doing exercise in doors. The temperature here has been below -30 C. So go as far as the car. I do go to the Gym to work out but yesterday the temperature was -40C so I use the WII and bike instead at home.

    I workout at home most of the time. I work out of a gym but I still like to workout at home. We have had WARM weather here on the eastern slope in Colorado. We need some of that cold and wet weather!!

    I've been on and off MFP for a couple years too. Now back at it. I'm looking really for only a couple friends, as I can't keep up if I've got a bunch... I live in SW denver and pretty busy with two kids, been married 24 years, work part - full time. I don't post alot, but log every day and if I see no one else "supporting" you I will will.

    I'm working towards a "younger you" That's a book that supports life time changes and one hour of activitiy a day. Not there yet, I'm not into the crazy fads or balls to walls kind of stuff, I'm more, is this sustainable? challanging? but doable? and fits into my life. I love to ski, but this year, not so much...

    Add me if you like..

    I'm from Colorado too (the Springs) and am 51. Just joined 25 days ago, have lost 6 pounds so far. Haven't exercised EVERY day but am trying to. I need a cheerleader too, feel free to add me (I'm not sure how to do that myself yet)!

    Hi, my name is Roxana. I just joined today. I live in Arvada, Co. I will be 50this coming Sept. and I would love to loss 50lb or more. I really have packed on the punds over the last 7 years. Last week my brother -in-law told how FAT i have gotten.. REALLY? I didn't look in the mirror and noticed that. WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE. But I guess thats what I neededto realize I need to loss a lot of weight. So here I am looking for support. Thanks for listening.
