I've been consistently using MFP for 11 days and will continue to use it even after I meet my fitness goal. I was very fit in high school, very active, with weight ranging from 114 to 118 my senior year. I hit 150 when I was 20, took off 15, and was at 135 for about 2 years. I had my son at 23 and I gained 40 lbs with him! I haven't been under 150 in 2 years, reaching my heaviest at 160. After my husband and I had no success in getting pregnant within a year, then when I finally got pregnant after 13 months of trying, I lost the baby at 10 weeks. I don't feel it would be fair to blame our loss on my unhealthy stature and eating habits, but then again I don't think it would have been as likely to happen had I been in better shape. ENOUGH with my sap story! Now I'm getting serious and fit. I don't care as much about weight as I do about losing inches. Though it would be nice to weight between 125 and 130 and I want to get around there by august. I have already lost about 13 lbs. I run 6 days a week with little weight training. I will be joining a gym next saturday (a week from today) to do wight training 3 times a week, and running 2/3 times a week, opposite training days. 1-2 days resting. I am currently on 1200 calories, I do know this sounds like it's not enough, but I eat 5 times a day, and I'm never hungry, or low on energy and I drink roughly more than 2 Liters of water a day. I would like to get to 130 in the next 7 weeks, or at least into a size 4. I would like to know if this is at all possible, beyond reason, unhealthy or just plain ridiculous. I would like to chat and keep up with people and be motivation for others and vice versa! I swear I'm pretty awesome, and I make good healthy food!!

Hi! Feel free to add me. I'm on here daily.
I've lost 35lb so far (since new year) by calorie intake of no more than 1550 calories and I do try to exercise at least 3 times a week but normally 6 times a week.
I'm hoping to lose at least another 24lb.0 -
Hi there, you are doing well, and I think that the plan you've got of weight training and running is great. I've logged in everyday for just over a year now, when I started I was just walking and doing simple thing on the Wii Fit and managed to lose 71 pounds. It was going well until I injured a knee and put on a few pounds back because I couldn't walk at all. I recently joined a gym and started weight training, it's amazing how quickly your body changes with weight training, it's great! I love interacting with my friends and I just could not live without MFP. Feel free to add me0

Hi,
It sounds like you are very motivated! I got back into shape after my pregnancies by training for races. A half marathon is a great goal! You said you are running, but how long are you running in each session? Distance running is great for weight loss. Your goal sounds realistic!0
