Hi there,
I've been on this healthy eating weight loss journey for what feels like forever! I've got 10-15 kgs to go (22-30 pounds) and I've been trying to loose it for 18 months!
I'm slowly getting there and changing bad habits one habit at a time.
I would love to get to the point where I can run for sustained periods, but for now walking is it.
I love LOVE Pilates for toning and body shaping. But staying motivated to keep it all up is what is tripping me up. I'm doing this alone.
I could really do with some friends to keep me motivated.
Anyone out there want to share this journey?

Lizzie

    Hey there. I've been on my weight loss journey for about 2 years now. I've lost and gained and had my ups and downs. It hasn't helped that I have had some health complications that limit my exercise but I definitely need the motivation as well. I love kickboxing but haven't found a regular workout to do. I have to watch my heart rate so it doesn't make it easy. I'm hoping to lose at least 60 more pounds. So hopefully I can find some friends on here to keep me motivated.

    Hey! I'm just starting tomorrow. Made the final decision that 3 kids is enough, now it's time for me to become a yummy mummy. :)lol gained about 10 kilos during my last pregnancy and in may I broke my leg pretty bad playing hockey so 7 weeks no walking = 5 extra kilos.. I would love to add a few people to help keep me motivated..

    Howdy ~ I'm an Adelaide girl who is knee deep in phlegm at the moment (flu...and not the man type either....I am legitimately dying, I'm sure of it, :P).

    I've known about MFP for ages but it was only this week that I realised (in a blind panic) that our family holiday to the Gold Coast in May next year will mean warm weather and poolside attire and the thought of that brought me screaming back here, LOL.

    I'm not going to start until I'm well - doc first thing tomorrow morning - but in the meantime I'm loading up favourite foods and recipes.

    Would love some motivation too, so feel free to add!
