Encouragement

Options
Hello! My name is Andrea and I want to lose weight and get fit so badly. In March a friend of mine convinced me to start going to the gym 3 days a week and I really liked it. But, he is moving and is no longer going so I'm finding it hard to go now. I think if I can get some more friends on here and we can motivate eachother it would really help. So, if you'd like a personal cheerleader please be myfitnesspal friend. :o)

A little about me: I'm 33 years old, I have 3 kids, work full time and have very active kids! I'm engaged and I think life is so great I want to take better care of myself.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!!

    Hi! Feel free to add me too! I am also 33 and have two children a 5 and 8 year old. I work full time and my husband works 12 hours a day away from home. I usually work out in the evening after they kids go to bed because I am not a morning person. I like to run, walk, bike and currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred!

    Andrea, Hi Im Jamie, Im new to My fit pal, but also looking for encouragement too so super excited to meet you. I would love to be your friend and your cheerleader too. I just had my 4th baby (3 weeks ago). Yep I dropped about 20 pds overnight yet I have about 30 more to go. I am a fitness Instructor at a gym and need to get back into shape so I can be an example to others and look good teaching. I also have a small business out of my home.

    Looking forward to the end result but planning on embrasing the journey.

    -Jamie
