New to this... Any motivating friends?

Options
Hi everyone. I am new to this and would love some motivating friends! I am 28 years old, 5'2 and 159 pounds. Looking to lose 35-40 pounds. I cut down my calorie intake to 1400 a day and exercise 5-6 times a week ( cardio classes, weight training) for about 60-75 minutes. And am now starting to walk everyday. I am really motivated to lose this weight as I feel so much better when clothes fit better and I have more energy. Just had a baby 2 months ago so need to get motivated! If anyone is in the same boat as me, add me!! Thanks everybody!:smile:

    I've been at this for a while but I had to start over twice, once due to going back to college and a second due to moving states. But this time I'm super determined and I even started a blog. Feel free to add me and check out my blog for ideas and/or motivation. :D

    Lets do our best!!

    It sounds as if you have the right idea. Just do it everyday and keep your calories in line. Best of luck.

    I'd like to add you to my friend list!

    You can add me. I am on here virtually everyday. Tracking calories & exercise. I am 5', 152 and determined to go back for my annual with less weight last year. I am 50 and enduring that menopause part of my life.
