    I'd like to meet some more Anime fans out there! Anyone who's an otaku, a cosplayer, even a gamer or comic nerd.

    Hey, I'm looking for new friends, preferably women who lift weights. I'm starting a weight lifting program soon (at home free weights, will put a routine together from some books) so would like others who are also new to it or have more experience already in case I need help.

    I'm a recent member and love this site so far. I only have one friend and she's my daughter. I don't know how to add friends so please feel free to add me. I'm doing this alone in my house and it's really hard when everyone else eats whatever they want and I still have to cook for my family. My daughter is grown and doesn't live with me. I've lost a little weight but have about 50lbs more to go. It's hard to imagine as I've been overweight for years! Having a support group would be nice. Just knowing there are others like me that I could talk to.

    Hi Everyone,

    Apparently I made an account for this about 2 years ago but never went anywhere with it... Well I'm back now and this time I'm going to stick with it! It's about time to make a change in the health department like I have the rest of my life. I have spent the last few years (after finishing high school) lazing around in security positions without a real sense of direction until recently when I found a position in a prison transport company. The excitement of the new role had me giving my absolute best which has expressed me into a management position in under a year. I have now started studying business and management online outside of work and am looking to progress my career. After this busy year working I have hardly had time to bat an eyelid at my health or fitness plans (or there lack of) and have added quite a few unwanted kgs. Well work has settled down now to a normal 8 hour day Monday to Friday so this is my new project! I'm here for the long haul and I wont stop until I get results!

    I have a lot of advice to give (that I really need to follow myself) on exercise and different diets because I absolutely love to read articles and magazines about fitness and health (if only I had the same dedication to the gym and the fork lol!).

    Looking for some friends to share experiences, results, ideas and most importantly motivation with! If you guys are willing to put in the effort then so am I!

    Look forward to talking to some of you shortly :)

    To lose one pound a week your caloric total must be reduced by 3500 in that week. If you want to lose 2 pounds you must reduce your caloric intake by 7000 calories a week. This can be done by eating less or exercising more. A combination of the two works best.
    If you want more calories in your diet. change your goal of how much weight you want to lose each week.

    IMHO you are probably going to be best served by using MFP as a way to permanently change eating choices and thereby not get into yoyo dieting. In that light losing one pound per week instead of trying for two pounds per week will take longer, but when you do arrive at your goal weight you will be far less likely to just pack it right back on, or indulge in binge eating along the way because you've learned how to select better food options.
