in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm setting myself on a dedicated 365day journey - and myfitnesspal will be helping me!! I transformed my health 5yrs ago taking off 70lbs and since then have served as a group fitness instructor and diabetes prevention coach to help others. Now as 2013 begins, I've watched some weight creep back up as life happens, so I'll be working on taking 20lbs off my 5'7 frame....then maintaining that by sticking to heatlhy eating. I'm great at staying on track with fitness and answering questions, but really want to focus on consuming the foods I know will keep me going for my own goals as well! I've been a sporadic user of myfitnesspal throughout the years, but need more friends to help me stay actively TRACKING, so I keep committed all year!!!!!! I am a great motivator when it comes to healthy and weightloss - so anyone interested in teaming up, "you keep me accountable at logging, I'll keep you accountable at doing" then please let me know! I know I will need it!!! :)

    OK, so how do we do this? Is there a place some where that we "click" and are now friends like on FB.

    A little about me, I am 43 years old, a wife and mother. I have gained 35 pounds in the past 5 years and my first goal is to lose that weight then I will go from there as I will still be overweight at 180 pounds. I have tried many times in the past couple of years to lose weight but it is very hard since my husband is overweight as well and he sneaks food into the house and I find it and eat it. We also are really bad for each other when it comes to eating. His way of dieting is ONLY by counting calories and eating any type of food he wants. I have tried to tell him that we need to change the way we eat as well.

    Looking forward to having someone to do this with.

    I lost 137 lbs about 5 years ago and have regained 61, but lost 29.5 of that regain since May 2012. I've been stuck since Thanksgiving and it's time to shake it loose.

    You Got it! Thanks everyone - sounds like we'll be on it together! I'm getting used to how to add and whatnot myself, but the goals are certainly worth the work :) Together we're STRONGER than one!

    I really need motivators...i will send you a friends request. I started mfp about 6 months ago, and have been on and off of it. I am commited being more consistant with logging my food. I need help with both. I am terrible about working out. I work night shift and it makes me lazy on my days off. My job itself usually keeps me on my feet, but there are those days especially in the summer where i might sit most of the day. Good luck with your life style goal and I look forward to us motivating eachother to live healthier.
