Starting the hard part

:smile: Hi there! My name is Kati and I recently joined MFP to help with the part two of my plan. I've posted pictures of my ture before, when I was eating take out everyday (every day!). So I vowed to stop and with my boyfriend along for the ride I stopped eating take out (still go the odd time in ablue moon - sometimes you just crave a Jr, Bacon Cheeseburger) and we also cut pops/sodas out of our diets.

Now I'm ready for part two - exercise and lean eating (though we were eating healthy foods we often over ate). I'm looking for friends to help me stay on the gym path - virtual gym buddies! My end goal is to lose about 60 to 75 pounds and run a 5k (though not in that order, I'd like to run a 5k as soon as I am able.) Eventually I'd even like to do marathons.

Thanks me done. Add me if you feel like we can help each other out!

    Working out is my new passion! I'd love to have more friends fired up and ready to workout! :bigsmile:

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. I am only focusing on calories, not the types of food I eat currently, but do have a goal to work out at least 4 times a week. Eating healthy is probably not ever going to work for me, but at some point, I'll probably shoot for healthier.

    you can do it! It's sooo hard at first, b/c your changing to a new "normal." This app really helps me be honest w/ what I'm putting in my body. Good Luck!

    Yeah, I keep reminding myself that it's going to take some work (something like 21 days to form a habit - 4 weeks to see results)
