New user from Syracuse, NY

edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys! I've technically been a user of Myfitnesspal for several months, but I'm just not getting into using the website along with the phone app. I'm looking to add local friends on here that will give me motivation. Sometimes I just need people to tell me that I gotta eat healthy and exercise even if I don't want to.

I'm also looking for fellow users that, like me, are looking to lose a substantial amount. Right now I'm at 362 (already down 3lbs!), and I want to get down to around 220. My initial goal is 250. If I'm not happy there, My next goal will be 220. I'm guessing that's where I'll be happiest, but who knows. I know I don't want to be skinny (I'm proud of being plump!), but I also know that I need to be healthy. I lost a very close friend last week when he finally succumbed to illness caused by his weight. I vowed to get healthy for him.

So who's out there? Anyone from Syracuse? Liverpool? B'ville? Cicero? Etc?

    Bumping! I also live in Syracuse, Eastwood area.

    Curious if anyone goes to Planet Fitness. I know some people hate it not being a "real" gym, but the hours make it possible for me to go with my schedule so I love it! Joined after three co-workers at my previous job joined, but I am the only one who goes it seems. Use to go late at night [think 11pm-2am] but now I work that shift so I go right from work [about 7:30am] Would love to meet someone else who goes.. We don't even have to talk, but I need someone to hold me accountable LOL

    P.s. Still looking for friends (even though I'm no longer a new user)! Especially anyone who's looking for a workout partner, people that are dedicated (aka, you aren't here for a day, gone for a month type deal), and people who are around my weight/goals. I also love people who comment! Comments help me feel accountable (if I know that you're looking at what I'm eating, I'm less likely to eat crap) and are helpful when I need advice.
