Looking for Friends :)

in Introduce Yourself
Hello! :tongue:

I'm looking for some new friends to start my journey with.

This is not my New Year's resolution. I told myself that AFTER the holidays I have to get back on track.

I started Weight Watchers 3 years ago to get myself down in the normal BMI range and my initial loss was 40lbs.

Since moving to my apartment Spring of 2011 and WW changing to Points Plus, I've gained much of itback so I know I really have to start working harder.

I don't go to the gym (low funds for fuel/membership) so I work out at home usually on my Gazelle, ab roller, and just bought a haute yoga DVD on its way here :)

Why do I want to get in shape & lose weight? Because I would love my clothes to fit better and to be able to fit into the ones I could when I first lost the weight. I also would like to avoid knee & other problems in the future (seems genetic).

I know I can do it! I've lost it before and my boyfriend always gives me positive motivation :)

I'm looking for active folks in the MFP community to share accomplishments and vent with :blushing:

Having buddies in the weight loss journey never hurts, only helps!

    I just started on MFP today. I had lost 30 pounds ending about 6 months ago (and only gained 3 or 4 pounds back so far...) and need to get back on top of things to get ready for my wedding in September.

    Hi there. My name is Sarah and I started my journey about 2 yrs ago and have lost 85 lbs. After 2 years of hard work I was just exhausted and took the last few months off and splurged for the holidays and gained back almost 10lbs, yikes. Like you I told myself it was time to get back on track again after the holidays and lose the other 30 lbs to reach my goal of 160. I'd love to have some friends to chat with to help keep my on track. I'm so ready to be done with the losing and ready to get to maintaining so I don't have to spend quite as much of my day exercising. I was going to the gym 2hrs a day 5 days a week. Now I'm gonna try the Insanity workout at home daily and go to the gym 2days a week for a variety. My goal is to really work hard for the next 60 days of the insanity program and hope to be close to my goal at that time.

    You're right. It's good to communicate. I feel very bloated right now, but I have only eaten foods with protein today. The only sugar I have had is via splenda, truvia and nuvia.
    I also drink diet tea.

    I hear you. I was weighing 147, but during the Christmas holiday, I weighed n at 158. I gain fast and no that I have no other choice but to get my act together.

    I started the Atkins Diet one day after Christmas. I now weight 155. I have been eating all protein. The only sweet items I have indulged in is diet tea, truvia, splenda and stevia.

    I stated that I use nuvia, I meant to say Stevia.
