Hey everyone! I'm looking for as much support and friends as I can get. :)

Here's a little about me:
My name is Danielle but I also go by Dani.
I'm twenty years old, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii.
I recently got into the cosmetology field and I love it!
I plan to move out of Hawaii once I finish school and work at a spa/salon.
My weakness is definitely sweets. Cinnabon, Starbucks, Cold Stone, need I say more.

But anyway, I'd love to have you as a friend!

    I hear you, I have a weakness for sweets too, especially Cold Stone. When I was pregnant I used to go there several times a week and get the big containers of already packaged ice cream in their freezer, and then go home and eat most of it in one sitting. Their ice cream is SO GOOD! I'm sending you a friend request, we're looking to lose about the same amount of weight and I think we can help each other stay on track.

    Hello! Welcome to MFP!

    MFP is a really great resource to keep you focused and connect you with a wealth of fitness resources and like minded folks.


    1. Log your foods every day - don't skip days, or parts of your day. log everything!
    2. Analyze each day - see where it went good and where it went bad - too much fat? maybe too many carbs? over the calorie limit? Identify and plan how to correct it for tomorrow.
    3. Reach out to the community with questions or advice needs.
    4. Build a network of friends here!
    5. Above all, do not believe everything you read here. There is a lot of great advice, but also some misleading and hype type advice. Part of getting fit is educating yourself in aspects of health and fitness. Make sure any questionable advice is looked at with a scientific eye and look for facts, evidence, and most importantly real world proof.
    6. You are more than a number. Sometimes the scale may not say what you hoped - thats fine. weight loss is not a straight line declination. Its a bumpy line that drops over time. Don't let single day numbers get your focus away from term based results.
    7. Vary your exercises. Your body forms memories and can slow down how it burns fat and builds muscles. Keep it confused! Hit it hard with cardio styles. Build lean muscle to burn even more fat.
    8. and above all - take your photo now! You will want to look back and have a starting BEFORE picture to proudly display along with your series of PRESENT or CURRENT photos during your transformation and continued lifestyle of fitness.

    I welcome you, and anyone else out there to add me as a friend. I have made fitness and health my passion and love the idea of folks joining me in my new lifestyle of being fit, healthy, and most importantly - HAPPY!.

    I'm here to support and motivate!!! I find my own success comes easier when I help and fuel other folks success.

    and remember - most folks care more about the quality of fuel they put in their lawn mowers than the fuel they put in their bodies. Don't be one of those people. Whole foods. Natural foods. Intelligent choices.



    Fit for life,
    Mark M. Reed
