in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! My name is Whitney. I have been using MFP on and off for about a year. I was doing really well from July to about December when I fell off the wagon during the holidays. Since then I have been anything but consistent but have, in the last few weeks, been doing really well again and it feels so great. The only downfall is most of my best supporters on MFP (aside from a few) either did the same thing I did and haven't come back or considered it a lost cause :( I would love to take full advantage of everything MFP has to offer, including all of you. If you would like a motivating supporter and would like to be the same in return please send a request my way :)

P.S. I am 5'4 and currently 215lbs with a goal of onederland for now, 125-135 ultimately, I am currently doing C25K (about half way through) and have a goal of my first 5K 8/30/13.

    Hey Whitney! I think you have some awesome goals! We are pretty close in goals. I am 5'3 1/2" and weigh 221. My ultimate goal is 130-135lbs. This is what I weighed in high school and I was really fit. So hopefully we can do this together! I have fallen off the wagon several times too. The important thing is that we keep getting right back up! I am also doing this because I have high blood pressure and cholesterol and I am at great risk for heart disease especially with my genetics playing a factor. What is C25K?

    :smile: Hi there! I am 5'2" and weight 247. My first goal is to reach 199, but I am so NOT motivated! Having trouble making wise food choices and portion control...plus, trying to get myself walking at least a little each day. I will be happy to cheer you on and would love to get some encouragement from you.

    I totally relate to the whole "falling off the wagon" deal, as I'm sure most of us do. I was doing really well, and in better shape than I had been in for YEARS. But alas, I met a guy, we went out on dates a lot, ate and drank, yadda yadda, you know the rest. BUT, just like you, I have been back on the proverbial wagon as of a few weeks ago, and feel pretty good. I'd love to make some active MFP friends. Feel free to add me! :)

    I would like to friend you too.

    C25K = couch to 5 K (running) it takes you from being a couch potato to being able to run a 5 k race. My D-I-L and some of her friends tried that a couple years ago but unfortunately didn't get far from the couch! LOL
    too busy with the children to stay focused I think.
