Hello fellow Houstonians! I've been on and off of myfitnesspal for a few years now, and have always dropped off due to lack of motivation. I now have two family members involved and a couple friends and am looking forward to dropping 30 lbs by new years!.

Over the past year I have picked up running as my method of fitness however know that I need to start cross training more. Currently I am involved in a 5k challenge (5k every month for 12 months) which ends in December. I am looking for Houstonian support to push me through the new year and continue on through 2013.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Hey, Houstonians! My name is Travis and Im a teaher and coach. I dont think of myself as fat, just athletically large. But on the other hand, I do realize that it wouldnt hurt to lose a couple 20 to 60 lbs, LOL!!! I'm relatively new to this but Im glad i found a group in the area that I can relate and conversate with. I really want to lose all my football weight! I gained over 120 lbs in college in order to be a offensive lineman and It has been hell losing it. Motivation hasnt been there and Ive been sunk in the rigors of life. Recent blood pressure issues have open my eyes to doing sometihng more with my body and I hope that Im amongst friends and supporters that will make that journey with me. Im a graduate of Sam Houston State University (Eat'm up Kats) and a native resident of Waco, Tx. Thanks for your eyes and talk to you soon!!!!!\

Living Large by heart, just dont wanna be by size!
Gooooo Texans!!!!

Hello from Spring/Champions

I just found out about this website yesterday and am feeling my way around. I have about 35 lbs I'm willing to give away dirt cheap! Any takers? No takers huh, well how about sharing support instead and maybe a workout or two if your in my area?

Hey everyone!

I think I already introduced myself on this forum but there are tons of places to go besides gyms if a certain workout doesn't fit you... you can browse some on Meetup.com. I haven't gone to one yet but there is a Love Yoga Houston group that has Twisted Tuesdays and other sessions. http://www.meetup.com/LoveYogaHouston/events/95511292/?a=wm1_5&rv=wm1

I might go this Tuesday! There are other groups all in the Houston area but I was browsing Meetup and thought I would share!

Good luck to everyone in their goals! Let me know if I can help support you. =]

Good to see so many fellow Houstonians here. Hey everyone

Good morning everybody! I am new to the group. I am hoping to lose 30 pounds by my 29th birthday this summer. Definitely need as much support & motivation as possible. Lol

Hello, my name is Krystal.. Just started tracking and doing regular exercise.. Bought some adjustable dumbells and a stationary cycle.. do the cycle three times a week, and weights three times a week, with one off day.. Barely notice a difference but still really motivated.. Wanting to lose at least 40 lbs.. feel free to add me and any advice is always welcome

Hi everyone, I've been on MFP for about a year now and decided to join this group a couple of days ago. Anyway I live in the Jersey Village area and work out about 5 days a week. I exercise at LA Fitness where there is a great group of women (and man) and a fun atmosphere. That's probably why I drag myself out of bed most mornings to go. I'm looking for more friends in the area who want to get in shape. You can friend request me. I will be sure to reply. Have a great day everyone!!!!

Hi, I'm Cheryl. I dedicated myself to getting fit and living a healthy lifestyle about 4 months ago and have been doing really well. I've learned to LOVE exercise and eating healthy. I've lost over 20 pounds so far. Just re-joined myfitnesspal today because I wanted to use it to track my calories instead of doing it by hand. Anyway, would love to make some local friends. I'm currently doing strength training and preparing to do my first 5k!

Hello All!
I'm Keley and I've been in Houston almost one year. I work full time at the Medical Center and am trying to balance work, family and my health goals. I have a treadmill and cable weight machine at home but am often too tired or unmotivated to use it. I was riding my bike on weekends and then I lost interest after a cold snap. I'm considering taking sneakers to work and walking on my lunch break just to log some steps on my FitBit pedometer. I have a house full of clean healthy food and I'm going to try again. Wish me luck...also check my bio for more history if you are interested. Thanks!

Looks like I never introduced myself. I'm Antonio, live/work in The Woodlands. I work out daily, have a membership at Anytime fitness and also do MMA/Ju JItsu 4 times a week. My weakness is that I have a horrible sweet tooth. If you want to know more, FR me and ask

Hi, I'm Traci. I am a Heights girl and love being so close to basically everything. I have been struggling with my weight basically my entire life. I initially joined MFP a few years ago but never really utilized it. I started back on MFP in February when I got my FitBit and learned that the two sync with each other.

I am a type 1 diabetic, I have hypothyroidism, and I can be an emotional eater, so it's a triple whammy to the system and makes an already difficult task even harder (losing weight that is). I am determined to keep trying, and always seem to pick myself up after I crash and burn. I just had my thyroid dosage changed, so I am hoping that will help since my efforts have been fruitless thus far.

I have a trainer that I work out with twice a week and I am looking to add a third day to get more strength training in. I try to do cardio as well 3-4 times a week, but as life tends to get in the way from time to time, that doesn’t always happen. I know I need to make it my primary focus and I will be the first to admit that it doesn’t always play out like that.

I am looking for support and since we are all in the same neck of the woods, I thought this might be a good place to start.

Hey All-

Live in the Kingwood area, signed up on this site for some accountability. I am a consultant and travel a ton for work which makes it challenging but I need/want to get through it.

My wife and I currently work out at the LifeTime fitness and enjoy running-

Feel free to throw an add for encouragement and accountability action!

Hello fellow Houstonians! I’m Jared. I’m fairly new to the Houston area. Moved here last year from North Carolina. I live in NW Houston and go to the YMCA at 249 and Cypresswood. I just finished up the Insanity program and lost 18 lbs. I used MFP to help with the diet portion of the Insanity program as I’m on a 1500 calorie a day diet. I’m getting ready to do a 2 month strength training program before I cycle back to Insanity for two months and could use a work out buddy who can work out in the afternoons after work from 5:00 – 6:30. I plan to maintain a calorie deficient diet during this time. I have 12 more pounds to lose to get to my goal of 155 lbs. If this sounds good to you then hit me up.

Hi everyone! Haven't been on MFP in a while. About a year ago, I exchanged my rigorous diet/workout routine for lengthy late-night study sessions. Looking for some Texas-sized support
