Friends Needed

Hey Print

I'm a married woman with a 4 year old son - I also have a 12 month old show dog who I dedicate my time to.
I've just joined a gym today and my neighbour who is a personal trainer at the gym suggested this website/app.
I'm 47 and my goal is for a healthier happier me to keep up with my son as his life becomes bigger and better.
You would be my first friend on here

Hi,its my first day.i do not have much people to motivate me in this but also hope i will soon get nice supportive friends to help me meet my goal.

i've got some paper

Hi there,

Welcome to the site.
I'm fairly new here myself [only joined about a week ago] and am absolutely astounded by the support I've already received.

I've been looking at upping my exercise and with that in mind have just invested in a Bodymedia gadget [called the Ki-Fit here in the UK]

I do quite a bit of hiking [have done the Inca Trail and 2 years ago spent 2 weeks hiking the foothills of the Himalaya in Nepal] and tons of walking with my furry exercise machine Tugg the border terrier. What type of pup have you got?
I absolutely love my dog to bits and a real motivator on those days when I don't fancy going out for a jog as he obviously needs to be walked even in the rain and snow....bless him.

My partner David works at a bank, runs a lot, eats whatever he wants and is as skinny as a rake [quite annoying! LOL] Me, I just look at a muffin and it goes straight to my hips.

I do quite a bit of cooking and spend quite a bit of time adapting recipes to make them healthier and I have a smallholding where I grow my own vegetables, fruit and nuts and i keep a flock of hens, quails and a pair of peacocks that actually belong to my next door neighbour but spend most of the day in my garden [possibly due to the fact that I bribe them with the odd handful of raisins!]

My goals are to both lose some weight [have about a stone and a half to go and to also really increase the amount of exercise I do to become healthier and fitter.

Anyway, i can see that you've had plenty of offers of friends already but if you need another [and I could do with some more supportive banter myself] then please add me as a friend.

Look forward to seeing how you progress over the weeks

PS, I have 2 Cannon EOS [one digital and one old-school film cameras] and several other compact cameras as I am a part time jewellery designer and am taking lots of pictures of my pieces to go on my website...I'm only an amateur photographer so I'm finding it pretty hard to get good results as i work with dichroic glass which is highly reflective...makes it a bit of a nightmare to try and get a good shot!]
What camera do you have?

Welcome to this amazing site!!! I am always looking for a friend, to offer support and motivation to and to also get that occassional kick in the butt when I need it as well!!!! I love to watch peoples journey, and to give them the "high five" when they get to a goal. None of my friends are just a number, they are a weight loss buddy!!!!

Feel free to add me if you'd like!!!!
