in Introduce Yourself
Hello all. Just joined up, i''ve hit a plateau, I'm regularly going to the gym and I've recently lost 9 kilos.
It's been a month or so now since i've lost weight, but I know I'm gaining muscle.
It'll be another few months before i visit with my trainer to get evaluated, and I really want to keep going!
I believe i have the motivation, it's just hard because I have no friends in real life who are interested in the gym/fitness.
I have one friend who joins me once a week, otherwise it's my hobbie on my own.
I guess i just want people to talk to, or exchange messages :).

I'm 22 (nearly 23) and currently studying and working.


:)

    Heya,

    I'm just starting off on my new exercise program as well. I started about two weeks ago and have been running just about everyday. Did my first ever crossfit session and I'm pretty sore now!

    Good luck with your training, keep going, watching your weight sometimes isn't the best way to see if you're improving, you'll see it in your clothes and feel a lot stronger even if your weight stays the same for a while.

    Make sure you try a few different things that you can have fun with.

    Feel free to add this old timer, I'm 40 and have been doing the weight loss for near 6 months and have gone through several plateaus which will pass, i'm sure now it's not something you are doing specifically wrong it's just your body re-evaluating it's composition and what it needs and doesn't need then usually within 2 weeks you'll drop a weeks worth of weight for no apparent reason, least that's been my experiences with my 3 plateaus so far..

    Hello All. My name Is Marta, I'm a 28 year old ex cheerleader who has always been a bit "fluffy" although, now at this point, I look back at my pics of when I was in high school and college (when I thought i was soooo big) and i would DIE to look like that again. THAT was not fat, THIS is! I am now almost 30 kilos overweight (I say kilos bc I live in Europe :) Anyway, I am trying desperately to get under 55 kilos so I can finally be happy by my 30th birthday. I have tried and tried and failed and failed (Im sure everyone has been there) I have also been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease recently which is a bummer, but what sucks, is that my TSH level is still in the top of the "ok" range and is not above it to where I need hormone replacement. So basically my thyroid is under-active and I cant do anything about it! Which REALLY sucks. BUT i want to work through that. I want to ignore that and not make anymore excuses because I KNOW i can. I know what to do and how to do it (I was a personal trainer back in my prime) but I just need to motivation to do it! So all those out there who can relate.. please friend me as I need the motivation and I am always there to offer motivation and my professional advise as far as training goes!

    Hi!
    I feel your pain - my friends in real life aren't really interested in going to the gym and such - I am friends with the fitness instructor at my gym - but almost all the people I work with or hang out with just aren"t interested... I am so glad that I found the MFP community so I can share my triumph and struggles here with people who understand.
    I am on here every single day and I love it.
    anyhow FR sent...
