in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone..I'm Melissa I'm 21, I've been using mfp on and off for quite some time but just started using it on a daily basis a few weeks ago. I've seen great results so far but I could always use more friends for motivation! The nutrition aspect has been a lot easier for me than the working out. I love to bike, run and hike but unfortunately I live in Maine and this time of year it's way to cold to do anything outdoors but walk to your car! The weather has definitely limited my means of exercise so I'm hoping for some friends who'd like to discuss exercise ideas and what not! Or just anyone who wants/needs someone to keep them motivated! I check in very regularly so add me if you'd like!

    Hi Melissa.

    I live in Nebraska where the winters are only 13 months long. :smile:

    I ride my bike and walk approx. 8 month of the year. the remaining months I use my treadmill, do aerobics and strenght training.

    I am 58 years old and in the best shape and health I have been in for years.

    Right now I am trying to lose the 8 pounds I picked up since last summer. (that is a nasty habit I have, up and down 8 punds.)

    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi,
    I'm new here too and looking for some support on staying motivated, too! I'm down in So. Texas, where it's too hot to exercise outside a lot of the time so I do go to the gym, but I work out and then get out of there.....I've got two girls - 5 and 7, so they're my priority a lot of the time, but I'm trying to put myself first too.
    Nice to meet you!

    How's it going Melissa? I'm glad that your doing good and getting the results that you want. I have a few suggestions when it comes to working out. Since it is so cold where you are like me. I think you should buy fitness DVDs of your choice and try them out. Try YouTube videos. You could also try just making up your own little exercises that you can do throughout the day. Go to the gym if you prefer that. Either way anything you do should fit you. You'll do great!

    I'm like you, restricting my eating is generally no problem, but there are so many days when I just CAN'T seem to get myself to the gym, etc.
