in Introduce Yourself
Please feel free to add me as a friend if you want to get real! In the past week, I have started my weight loss journey and I've realized that I am ready. Ready for the long haul. I have no intentions of giving up, and I'm going to push myself to do more no matter what. I need friends that are just as serious as I am so we can motivate each other and be there for each other. I don't want to try to motivate someone that just ate a cookie! Like I said, I need serious friends. :-) Btw, I am a 42 year old Mom of 3 that wants to lose 30+ pounds and my workout of choice is Turbo Fire / Kickboxing! Let's do this!

    You can add me. I am working on losing 30+ pounds and am more than half way there in 3 months. I have a few very supportive friends and would be happy to do the same for you. Keep up the serious attitude but have some fun with it too. My exercise of choice is bike riding. I go the gym also but I find that not very exciting.

    I am always happy to have more friends, but like you, I want the ones that are serious. Historically I have been the type that when the going gets tough I bail out of the game (quit logging, etc). However, I have told myself that no matter what I will stay on. I know I will have good days and bad days but will log faithfully and maintain my workouts.
    I am a high school teacher and taking my summer to form my good habits and kick the bad ones so that when the craziness of school starts back up (in just a few short weeks) I will be better equipped to stay on track.
    I, too, am looking for good support.

    I'm thankful for all of the additions so far. I'm a good cheerleader for those who are on a mission. In the past I have had friends that were always slipping up. I am not as good with those types of friends. Just keepin' it real here! I need MOTIVATED friends. :happy:

    I need serious friends too! I am just getting started and have a good deal to loose. I am thinking that I should just make small goals right now maybe 5lbs at a time until I reach my goal. What do you think? Is that a good idea. I have dieted before and this system worked for me. I just need a little sticktoitness...............LOL

    I've been serious since June 11, 2012. I've been on here since last week. I have 100+ to lose, so motivation is something I'll need for a very long time. I've got this though! I'm positive, and optimistic. If you think we'd be a good match, add me!
