in Introduce Yourself
My name is Elizabeth & I am new to fitness pal, I only have 1 friend so far.. I am looking for friends/support.. My goal is 135 pounds, I started this journey last April 2012 at 240 pounds, I am now 189.6.. My biggest struggle is getting in the workouts & keeping the weight off, last summer I was 162, I gained 28 pounds over the winter.. My biggest issue is that I live in the middle of nowhere & I have no support/friends here! Resources are limited here & the winters are brutal -45 with the wind chill! It is still winter here; we still have lots of snow & really windy/cold days.. Anyway, I would love to meet new people & hear about what has worked best for you...

    Hey kahjam, looks like you're in the right place!

    Good job on losing all that weight, and getting closer to your fitness goals! Sometimes those slip-ups seem like mountains, but they're just little obstacles that we can jump over :) I would love to be an "online gym buddy" if it helps!

    Feel free to add me, I've only been on here for a week. Being able to see how many calories I consume a day is the biggest help in keeping me on track. Still need to fill out my profile though..

    Feel free to add me. I know what it like to live in a remote area. I was living in Montana the last 2 years. Now I am living on an Island, in Florida, granted I don't deal with the cold, but I don't have a lot of support in the town I live in either. My overall goal is close to yours :)

    Wow, you and are are twins! This is my first day on, my friend told me about this. I too need to lose 50 and am starting at 185. Congratulations on your success so far. I know i can do this, but I struggle with a husband who is no help in the food department. He loves junk and eats it all the time, so I have to fight that. My big struggle is writing down my food so I am hoping this will help and I have to be honest!

    I live in a rural area and I know what it's like to not have local friends. A lot of people know me because I'm a bit of a public figure, but I don't know any of them nearly as well as I'd like.

    Feel free to add!

    I feel your pain with the -40 temps, we hit temps high -50's throughout our winter. I love walking outside but with those temps it makes it hard. Feel free to add me! The more the merrier!!
