in Introduce Yourself
Hello!
I've been on MFP since 2010 and I've managed to lose about 15lbs and then gain some of it back (lose & gain vicious cycle).
I was just looking at my friends list and most of them haven't logged-in in a while! And I know for a fact that none of them 'quit MFP' because they have reached goal!

I need to find new friends. :bigsmile:
My news feed is pretty much from the same 2 or 3 people. I don't look forward to logging in MFP as I used to, not just to log my food but to see what my friends are up to.

I enjoy working out, I go to a MMA school 3x/week and lift heavy 2x/week. I put on muscle fairly easily and consider myself in pretty good shape. My issue is bad food decisions. I need friends that will check my food diary and provide me with feedback.

Today, I am ready to start focussing on my eating habits, again :grumble:
Lately, I've been treating myself to bad foods as a reward for going through lay-offs at work, a 3 year old that has major tantrums and quitting smoking (yesterday).

I would like to find new MFP friends with some of this stuff in common:
- mother or father of young kids
- are active ie: enjoy strenuous workouts such as P90X (+) or Kickboxing
- recently quit smoking
- need to make better food choices
- log in MFP consistently
- good sense of humour
- need a good kick in the *kitten* because of yo-yo weight!
- bonus points for Canadians

Thanks in advance!

    Heya, stay-at-home Dad of two, boy and girl, using MFP on a daily basis. Trying to be as strict as I can in regards to food intake vs. cal output, but sometimes the cookies win.

    I run on a regular basis (kiddos in tow in the Battle-Wagon)
    Gym on a semi-regular basis.
    P90MS on a very regular basis as well.

    Add me :) New to MFP, not new to counting calories though... I've been on another site for 3 years. This one is way more interactive, which I like (or dislike on my high calorie days. lol)

    Hi there,
    I'm Canadian and a mom to a 5 year old. I run regularly and do Insanity/Asylum 1-2 x a week. Lately I've been having too many temptations from sweets but am committed to starting anew and doing my best! I'll send you a request:)

    I would love to have some friends on this. I have no friends that are on this and really dont have many friends that have to be on a diet or watch what they eat. I have 3 kids with the range of 18 to 1, so I would love to get some tips from other mothers or fathers. Feel free to send me a friend request

    I've only been at this a few days (10) but already it's become part of my daily routine. I'm a stay-at-home dad, in between jobs right now although my 18-month-old son keeps me quite busy. Friend request sent...

    Hello,

    I have been using MFP for a while, though I stopped logging in for the same reasons you mentioned. The friends that I had stopped logging in, and there was nothing to look forward to. I am actually a little a shame that I am going to send you a friend request since i don't meet any of your requirements. I think that maybe you won't benefit from me much but I think that you will encourage me some. =)
