Hi all,

I need friends who have an imaginary whip to get me going :bigsmile:

I need to focus, and I would like YOUR help to do so. I will do my best to return the favour, ofcourse! :flowerforyou:

I have 5 weeks before I start to travel, and life stuff happens, and I want to do as well as I possibly can in that time. Nutrition and exercise wise. So if you are the person to tell me to get off my lazy *kitten* and do stuff, please send me a FR.

Also, would love more geeky/nerdy/dorky friends. Be it roleplay, boardgames, sewing, sci-fi, fantasy, vampireporn.. I wont judge :drinker:

And now for the wall of text:

I'm a 30ish woman who started on MFP in sept/okt '11 after allot of soulsearching and small steps to lead a healthier life. I lost most of the weight so far before june '12, then summer happened and I didnt use MFP untill okt '12.. managed to maintain but not much more. In Jan/feb I changed tactic and have been losing weight since april by eating loads and exercising loads. It turns out I like exercising, I love that I can now run and am working on lifting heavier. I do still want the weight to go down, but I focus more on fitness goals these days.

Exercise wise I lift, walk, run, bike, and am learning karate. Nutrition wise I eat healthy-ish, with focus on getting loads of protein and a (i guess fairly high) minimum of fat, with carbs as a filler. Sometimes I manage to do that, sometimes I dont.

Hobby wise, aside from exercise, I like to paint and play warhammer, play videogames (TSW, Tomb raider..), watch tv shows (game of thrones, true blood, stargate, startrek, criminal minds, supernatural...), read (Pratchett, Martin, Gaiman..), sew, embroider, and a bunch of other things.. I have too many hobbies.

I use MFP as a handy tool to log intake and exercise minutes, and I like encouraging my friends.

Hmm.. that was less of a wall than I expected.

Oh and this is where I started:

    Have you tried Zombies, Run! ? It is a running app that is also a game! it is way fun and it can sync with runkeeper which synchs with MFP so your runs and minutes will get counted. :) You play as a runner for a survivors camp called Able. :)

    Degan: I downloaded one version of it but yet to play it. So far my runs have been goal oriented (doing c25k again with a friend) but I will find time to give it a try! Your stat page looks great - I always feel so encouraged when I see you log your runs - now I will be spying on how many zombies you evade as well! :glasses:

    Phillisbobbit: aww thanks :flowerforyou:

    OK, you convinced me. Because of your success I would think you need to whip some of us (ME ME ME). In all honesty, you have done fantastic, if there is something I can do to help get you through these next 5 weeks, I am all in. I will send a FR.
