in Motivation and Support
I have been on my journey to better health for about a month now. Working out as hard as I possibly can has brought me very good results. I have been doing TONS of aerobic cardio and just recently started walking 4 miles afterwards. I have lost 13 lbs with all my effort but I still have a ways to go. So I thought that I would reach out to people on MFP who need as much motivation as I do. :smile: I've got 80lbs to lose and I plan on at least 75% of it being gone by the end of this year. I'm pretty confident all of it will be gone though :happy:

    Feel free to add me! I can also use the motivation and I find seeing other people sticking to healthy habits inspires me to do so as well. Sounds like you're doing a great job so far. :) I was doing well with watching my caloric intake and exercising when I first joined and then hit a slump during the cold, dark winter months, but I'm trying very hard to get back on track again.

    I know what you mean, when winter hits it kinda gets a bit suckish. You can do it :) There are full length fitness videos on youtube that are great. Let me know if you're interested I can tell you the name of a channel that has all sorts of fitness videos including Jillian Michaels. Definitely gonna add you :)

    I am going to add you both. I also have another 30 lbs to loose and I can totally relate to hitting the slump in the winter months. I can say that I was terrible this winter. But its time to get my butt out there and do something. SO i am about to go take my dogs out for a walk this morning! They deserve it and so does my body!

    I have had good responses from people I asked about being a Gym Buddy . . . Chelsea was real good but she lives a little too far. She is really into fitness and talks to me all the time. I am not a self starter and need the motivation of meeting someone at the gym because it is too easy to blow a class off.

    I have 89 more to go and I am with you! I need more friends also and I have a lot of need for someone that I can relate to.
    I get 1300 calories a day and I workout 5 times a week. I am currently doing 30 day shred and I try to walk a mile on the days that I work out.
    Best of luck to you! I will look for a friend request.
