in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone!

I have been on MFP for a few years now and have always had a habit of losing and gaining, losing and gaining - but throughout the past year and a half I have focused on a HEALTHY life style, staying dedicated (but still splurging) and trying to teach myself all about health and really find the exercise programs that I enjoy and continue to search for new ways to improve! So far I've lost 40 pounds and counting! Slow and steady win's the race!

As I am getting closer and closer to my goal, sometimes the WL is even more slow, and I could use all the support and motivation I can get. I have about another 10 pounds to go before I reach my FIRST goal - to get into the healthy weight range for my height - and after that we'll see what I would like to still do. I am focused on losing this weight, but also toning up my body before the Spring/Summer weather hits! Realistically I have another 15 - 20 pounds I would like to lose.

I am 25 years old - full time job - hard worker - pescatarian (like a vegetarian, but we still eat seafood) - love YOGA, working on running - have participated in 5K's and am working towards my first 10K this spring.

If you are looking for anyone who would love your support but also will give you support back, send me a message - would LOVE to meet some new goal oriented folks on here! :D

    I only have one friend on myfitnesspal and its someone I know locally. She hardly ever logs in. My feed consists of only my stuff so please all of you add me to. I'm 30 female. Was a vegan for a long time but it didn't do any favors for my health. Got really quiet sick and broke my femur while running as a result of osteoporosis.

    gorguslyjealo - You can add me!! I'm looking for some more people to get the motivation as well. Congrats on the loss so far!!!



    mhk0719 - I did the color run last year and it was so much fun!!! I think it helped to maintain my current weight and not gain anymore, :D

    cg7258 - I have the same problem with not having many friends here; I'd like to gain some more support and be able to give it to tothers as well :) What a story you have! You do look great in your photo!
