Hello!!!

I unfortunately gained a lot of weight as newlywed. 65 pounds in a year! :( That's what I get for throwing my scale away! I am trying to get into back into shape by Christmas. I would like to start a family in a couple of years so the time is now!
I just signed up and am still figuring out the site but would love to have friends on here to aid each other towards success! We can do this. We WILL do this!!!

    Hi! Congrats on being a newlywed! Good luck towards your goal! My goal as of right now is to lose 30 pounds (or somewhere close to that) by the end of July!

    Hello All. I signed up for my fitness pal some time ago and have been very inconsistant. Recently more like yesterday I was at my doctor who was very blunt about telling me I am ove weight. So I am trying to take this more seriously.

    Hello Everyone,

    Please add me to your friends list. I strive for accountability and knowledge. I have been working out for over a year now and have lost 55 lbs so far and have about 30 lbs more to go. I workout to Beachbody videos and drink my Shakeology everyday. I had back surgery 7 months ago and I'm still in some recovery but I am able to exercise.

    Hello all. I've been inconsistent lately too, but am still trying. I've lost almost 30 lbs since September, but still have another 70 to go.

    I also got a Fitbit Zip to track my activity, which interfaces with MFP to adjust calories. It is a good motivator for me to get moving so it might help some of you out too. I wish everyone good luck on their goals!
