in Introduce Yourself
Hi everybody,

I joined MFP in August of 2012, and I started off REALLY well...I lost some weight, but then really fell off the wagon when school started back up. I got into my bad habits at work; eating fast food and not exercising.

I feel like I have hit the breaking point where I KNOW that I have to do something about my health. I don't feel great about the body I have, and I am always looking at others and wishing it were me.

I read a quote..." If the effort we put into hating our body, was put into changing our body, the results would be amazing"

I started working out again last week and felt great (even though my body was as sore as hell). Tonight, before my workout I am going food shopping and will be prepping my meals for the week after my workout.

I have extremely high expectations of myself and feel like this is the time to change my life. This spring I have signed up for two "Spartan Races" and will be doing a 1/2 marathon at the end of the summer.

I am looking for a few committed and dedicated MFP friends who would like to join me in my quest to get fit.....and join yours as well.

Thanks everyone!!!

- Tom

    Welcome Back! You can add me as a friend if you want. We have somethings in common. We both started in August 2012 and we both fell off the wagon!

    Welcome back...

    I've been an MFP member for about a month and am on daily. Feel free to add... My goal this year is to hike Half Dome - twice if possible.

    Look forward to continued success!

    Feel free to add me.... I'm on daily and we could all use the encouragement and motivation. I've made a few goal to complete around the summer also- a triathlon (Sandman in Sept) and an open water swim from MD to VA (Sharkfest in June).

    Best of luck in your journey!!

    Feel free to add me as well! I've been logging pretty regularly, but over the past 2 months have kind of slipped with the good habits....I'm hoping to kick start that back now!

    Good luck! You can do it! :-)

    Due to Illnesses in December and January, I kind of dropped the ball a bit. Didn't gain anything but didn't lose anything either. Back on it now so I understand! Add me if you want!

    You can add me if you wish. I am on a similar path to you, but I've been through my dip and have been back on track for 6 weeks now (New Year's resolution!). I lost 45lbs, gained 30 of them back and now have lost 15lbs to take me to 30lbs down, so I understand the pitfalls!
