Looking for friends interested in cycling & running!

Good day!

I was introduced to the wonderful world of MFP by co-workers, and decided to give it a shot. I decided that this would be much more fun with friends, so here I am, soliciting friendship via the Introduce Yourself thread.

Here are some things you may want to know. I am:

- 32 years old
- Female
- Awesome
- Engaged
- Formerly morbidly obese
- Currently still obese, but not as bad as before!
- Interested in running (I like 10K's and am hoping to do my first half marathon this summer)
- Interested in cycling (I commute by bike three days a week)
- Funny
- Self-depricating
- A success already (I've lost 58lbs on my own!)
- A healthy eater, but horrible at tracking portions (that's why I'm here)

I enjoy exercise, and do it on a daily basis, but I'm terrible at tracking portions. I think that's what's keeping me from progressing further with my weight loss.

Please be my friend.

That is all.

  • I can tell you have a great personality! :) I used to do cycling in college and I have to say that was a crazy workout. I haven't done it in a long time but after having my daughter I am sick of looking and feeling the way I do so I started running last week. I am starting with just one mile at a time but would like to eventually run more and more as I become more fit and would like to do a marathon some day.

    Just a little about me:

    24 years old (in 5 days :P)
    Female
    Pretty awesome myself if I shall say so :)
    Have one 7 month old daughter
    Married
    Animal lover
    Currently a no-grease eater (I use to deep fry all of my foods!)
    Child Counselor
    Complete outdoors person

    Nice to meet you.

    I will add you if that's okay :)
