Hi, my name is Jasmine and I'm 27. I've been a member of MFP for a really long time but have had a hard time sticking to it in the past. In terms of exercise, I do a lot of walking regularly but no longer am part of a gym. I enjoy swimming, belly dance and yoga especially.

turbo fire is a work out series of dvd's. It kicks your but builds energy, and results are pretty quick. I have a beachbody coach on here that introduced me to it and follows my progress, gives me tips, she helps a lot. I will post pics with differences.

hi. i am elizabeth. just joined today after putting on 8 of the 17 lbs lost with another weightloss program. love going to gym anf working out but have not be able to do to injury, injury gone now and i am finding it hard to get back. want to work this program for all it is worth.

Hello! I'm Dee. I am almost 51 and am fighting to get off the lbs I have gained from losing my job and going through menopause at the same time. I am a binge eater so of course I did not deal with these changes very well. The job thing has been a blessing cause I am keeping my sweet grandson but there is no blessing in the menopause.
Thanks for the challenge!
Dee

Good morning, my name is Jaclyn and I am 28 y/o. My sister is kristen807, group leader lol. I admire her and am very much inspired and proud of her for running this group and coming as far as she has fitness wise she is the one who introduced me to this site, for that I am grateful because even though I have not been as diligent as her, it has kept me from lingering too far off the beaten path.

Me and exercise has always been a love-hate relationship, I love trying new things to spice up my routines. I am very much a Jillian Michaels fan and own probably half of her DVD collection lol, I hit the elliptical a lot, believe planks is a staple exercise move, hiking, yoga, 5ks, spin class, boot camps, PF gym member ( though I pretty much pay them not to go)..etc. Now, in sense, I look like a very active person, but in reality, I am a very, let's say 'organized' person..I tend to burn out a lot due to over exercise as my sister would say. For example, I would set my own exercise goal of the day, ie a JM workout, some time on the elliptical, doing a plank machine, these mini challenges , but if someone were to suggest going to the gym, an outdoor hike, and since I have updated to a smartphone, using my workout trainer app, etc, etc, I would consider that 'extra working out' and would not feel satisfied if I didn't get mine done as well; even though a hike would be considered a form of exercise!!!! That coupled with the fact that I somewhat have a fear that if I take a day off, say, to recover, I will fall out of routine and not get back in to the swing of things..hence my burn outs lol. I am hoping I didn't scare some of you off, lol..I know there are more like me out there. Hopefully, in this group where we can overcome this quirk.

As, for food, That is always a struggle. I am very much an emotional eater and I mean, every emotion lol. I tend to go extremes with eating, one day I will be a clean eater, the next a junk food junkie. I would say I am very much a carb and sugar junkie and definitely track those, but mostly I just love food, good and bad a like. I very much want to lead a clean lifestyle, but find that when I get a taste of the processed stuff, I literally become a junkie. This is where I feel like I need the most work and support..cleaning up my diet and not doing a cold turkey extreme one. Something where I can slowly cut out the bad and replace it with the good until I become satisfied with how I eat.

I want to learn to set and achieve small goals for myself, so in turn they will turn in to huge successes where I can be proud of myself, enough to keep this up and achieve the healthy, BALANCED lifestyle I have always wanted.

ALL THE BEST MFP FRIENDS!
