Hi everyone!
I'm 21 years old, almost 22. I am a student at the University of Pretoria and I love excerise! I do weight training 4-5 days per week and 1-2 days cardio per week. I met my current boyfriend about a year ago and we have been dating ever since. He is the one who got me into being the fit and healthy person i am today!
I would like to meet some new friends that also love being healthy and motivational. (Preferably female)
I'm not that focused on losing weight, simply more toning and ripping. I am 1.64m and weigh about 56kg's.
Hope to hear from you guys!

Hi, I am Nichole. I am 40 and a mother of 4. I had the gastric bypass about 13 years ago and went from 354 to 220. I did not exercise and started getting a lot of attention and dated a lot. Most dates were dinner and drinks and I worked at a wholesale liquor distributor. I drank a lot over the last 10 years, I have had 2 more children since I met my husband and due to lack of exercise, poor food choices and empty alcohol calories, I have gained all of it back plus10 lbs.

In November after many fights and attempts to quit drinking, I realized I was an alcoholic and my husband gave me an ultimatium, and unlike the many many he had given me before, I was quite sure this was it. I checked into a detox for 14 days, I came home and began attending church more often, keeping busy and a lot of praying.

I started my new weight loss journey on December 19th, my doctor gave me Phentermine and some natural supplements to kick start me, but I don't care for the way I feel on them. I started a bootcamp/circuit training class daily and MFP. I am slowly losing weight but hurt my knee doing lunges and squats,therefore, I do a modified workout or simply walk about 2 miles before training. I feel my weight loss is slower than it should be , but in reality it is almost 1 lb every other day.

My goal is to eat the recommended calories (I am always short) and not weigh myself everyday. Keep exercising.

I have not had a drop of alcohol since Nov. 11, and not even a craving for it (Praise God!). I have cut out my huge Diet Coke habit. No rice, pasta, white breads, mayo, and even though I get full fast from my gastric bypass I am hungry again soon after. High protein foods that should keep me full do not. I try to eat every 2 hours about 200-300 calories at a time.

I am 16 lbs down since Dec 19,

Age: 40

substitute teacher
start: 361
goal: 200

Low impact exercise due to knee injury

Anyone else like me? LOL

Thanks

Hellooo

I'm Jess, 22, I live in sheffield and work in mental health. I weight 17 stone 2lbs at the moment, I'm 5' 8.5" and am pear shaped so I wear a size 16 on my top half and a size 20 on my bottom half!

I've struggled with my weight since I was a child, have always eaten the wrong things and avoided exercise. I signed up to take part in the yorkshire 3 peaks in april and since new year have been training in the gym 5/6 times a week and getting out on practice walks in the peak district.

I stumbled across MFP on saturday and have fallen in love! haha! okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but the tools on here are fantastic and I can see that they're really going to help me on my journey!

I'd love to make some new friends who are facing similar challenges so we can help to motivate one another! Add me!!

Jess :-)

Hi everyone!! I'm Donna, a 48 yr old wife, mom and nurse. I guess I too am joining this group kinda late in the "game" but Iwould love to find someone with stats close to mine so we could partner up in this weight loss adventure and help each other. I'm very tall for a girl 6 feet, to be exact. I weigh around 235. I've been fighting my weight problem most of my life. I want to get to somewhere around 165. Mostly now I want to lose weight to be healthy, of course, Id love to get into my skinny jeans too. Hope to find friends on here and hopefully my "twin"..

I'm Sarah. I work part-time as a nanny for twin 7 year old boys, and I also work from home making custom cloth diapers. In addition to that I run a large cloth diaper/children's items co-op, as well as a growing fabric co-op. I am in school for Zoology and hope to some day work with elephants.

I have a 16 month old son named Boston, and we currently live in Oklahoma. My husband is in the Army and currently deployed. We are originally from Connecticut, and I have lived in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, California, Texas, and Oklahoma.

I am 5'5 and currently weigh 130lbs. My post-pregnancy high weight was 161.4, I was stuck at this weight for the full year that I breastfed. Since November 3rd, 2013 I have lost 30lbs and have approximately 20lbs more to reach my pre-pregnancy weight. My goal is 108lbs (my pre-pregnancy weight). I wear a jeans size 5/6 and a shirt size S/M.

What an awsome group this is! I just came across this group just a few minutes ago and I just filled out the match request form. My name is Kylee and I am 34. My big goal is to get from my current weight of 229 to 150!

I'm Britt. I'm 24, currently 135 lbs 5'6" 34"-27"-39". I have 2 kids youngest is just 1 year old. My goal weight is 115. I'm a photographer and "SAHM". I go to ballet class once a week but I am looking for a good daily workout routine.

HI... I'm a soon to be 37 year old, mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend.

I work as an Office Manager (and can totally tell that I sit on my rear a lot now, as my previous job was a Service Advisor at a Dodge dealership - where I was on my feet and walked all day long).

I love to play darts, volleyball and softball.

I quit smoking 7 months ago when my son asked me to quit. I told him "for you I will" and now have a pernament reminder of that promise as I got that saying tattoo'd on my left wrist.

My next goal is to lose all or most of the weight I have gained over the years. (I am heavier now then I was when I went in to give birth to my son).

My husband (of 18 years) says he loves me the way that I am, but I wanna be happy with the way that I look.

So, here it goes!

Hey guys,
I love the idea of this group. I Just started so I need to find a twin to help me & I help her. Trying to find someone that is in the same kind of situation so we can relate.

Hello Everyone! I was so happy to find this site and I am eager to see how well this can help me to stay on track. I am 5'6", 160lbs, and a size 12. I am looking to completely change my habits as well as my lifestyle.

Hi my name is Rochelle and think this is terrific...
I am currently at 183 lbs and 5'6, looking to loose around 35 pounds... I need a challenge buddy!!!
I will be 30 in may

I'm Mia, I'm 5'10, and 200 pounds. I love swimming, and riding my bike. I want to lose weight because I want to be able to find clothes because i like them, not because they fit. It's important to me that i keep up a loving relationship with my body, and that's part of it. I love singing, and one of my goals is to lose weight so that i can make musical cast size by September.

Hey there! This sounds like a fantastic group!

Married to great woman, Father of 7 great kids, and in a business where health very much matters. And I've slid CONSIDERABLY. Time to right the wrong. Don't know if I'll find a pair partner here but I'm hoping to! Look forward to "meeting" you all!
