Hey guys!

Not too new to MFP but I am jumping back on the wagon with two feet.

I think it would be really great to find some friends of similar stature and situation as my own. Great for motivation and keeping up with each other.

Every body is different, and requires different nutrients, exercise regiments, and rest. So, while we cant work exactly hand in hand, maybe there's someone out there like me. (And of course, if we are not similar and you need a new friend, feel free to add me for daily support and motivation!)

My stats: 25y/o, 5'6, 247lbs, 39.9 BMI.

I'm trying my best to workout every morning, usually just 45-60 minutes of cardio.

Are you my (or close to being my) TWIN?

Post your stats to find your motivational twin as well :)

    Wow, we are awfully similar :)

    I am 28 years old, 5'7", 250 lbs, 39.2 BMI

    Although I don't do that much cardio every morning. I need to though. Right now I have been alternating 30 min cardio 3-4 days a week with circuit training on non-cardio days with at least 1, maybe 2 days off rest.

    I need to start walking and biking in the morning in addition to my DVDs though. Extra burn doesn't hurt anyone :)

    Perfect! We are really close and I know you're an active friend of mine so we should DEFINITELY pair up sometime.

    We could even meet up in Ocala to hang, workout, or just to show off results! :P

    I'm 24 y/o female, 5'4; current weight 130. Starting weight was 140.

    Been stuck at 130 for almost a month. Not a single ounce or centimeter loss. :( Diet is semi-clean 1400 calories a day. Exercise is a mix between Jillian Michaels dvds and jogging (trying to move from 5k to 10k).

    What's your goal? You seem like you're in the healthy range for your height. Congrats on the 10 lbs! Remember that muscle weighs more than fat so you might not lose much more if you're building muscle at all.

    I'll be 24 in a month, 5'5130lbs. My exercise consists of biking, going to the woods with my boyfriend's dog and walking, and attempting to jog. What's your goal weight?

    I think we're within range of each other to help motivate and hold accountable. I would be thrilled to lose 100lbs as well!

    This is a great idea!

    I'm a 32 yr old female. 5'4" currently at 140 lbs want to be down to around 120. BMI is 24.

    I work from home sitting all day and am pretty sedentary. I am trying to get in daily walks and add in some leisure bicycling. We don't live near a gym, nor can I afford the membership fees. My calories are currently set at 1300 and I'm trying to keep my carbs to around 100.

    I started around there. I'm 28, 5'6" started at 242 at my heaviest and restarted this past March at 236. Currently doing Insanity (in week 5) and after that going in to Les Mills Combat. I also do some weight lifting. :drinker:

    Edited to add: my goal weight is around 140 or so. I'm mroe or less after getting my BF down to 18-20%. It's currently at 38-39% -_-

    I want a twin! :happy:

    I'm 36
    5'1"
    193 lbs (down from 279)
    I do 30 minutes of cardio m-F & jog to the gym tu & thur
    1300 - 1552 calories

    I have a tendancy to not eat enough calories and stall out my metabolism. But hopefully being conscious of it will help.

    I am a normal person just looking for a balanced life. Hubby & I go out to the bar usually once a week and I don't really consider any food off limits, just gotta see if it fits in my calorie allowance.

    5'2.5"
    Sw: 65.7kg+
    CW:59.4-60kg
    GW: 50kg or so (will adjust depending on how I look and feel at that weight
    Age: 22

    Even if our stats are different, we can still motivate each other! I tend to lose a lot of weight all at once and then plateau for a while and lose slowly after which is frustrating.
