Need Friends Please

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some new friends on here! I've been using MFP on and off for a while now, but only using it to track food. I'm starting tomorrow to track again. I've lost around 20lbs in last couple months and have about 70 left to go. I was hoping to get friends so I can get some motivation, learn a few things, and browse through some food diaries. I'm in a healthy food rut and would love recipes/ideas/substitutions ect. I'm not into fad diets. I just want to eat healthier and become more fit. Thank you!!

    Hi. I'm new. I've been here just a couple weeks. I've lost 4 pounds tracking on here, and had lost 6 on my own before that. I need to lose about 50 pounds. I walk on the treadmill every day after I drop my kids at school. I am watching what I eat, but I had dropped too many calories, so I hit a wall last week. I am upping my calories this week, and I think it will help, but a week at no loss is discouraging. Hopefully we can keep each other motivated.

    Hello, and I see there's a lot of newbie's on your post. I have been on my adventure for 2 years. Losing all but 18 lbs to goal and had some life crisis that helped unsettle my hard work. I am back on board again and on the down roll.
    Add me if you would like support and motivation.Good Luck

    Glad to see you're being honest with yourself (step 1)... reaching out for support will help your journey.

    I'm on MFP for more than 600 days. Logging keeps me from gaining everything back.. now I have smaller gains when I'm not eating well or vacationing or stress...

    My history shows I'm very good at losing weight for an upcoming event (reunions, weddings)... but here is the 'kicker'... The Rest of My Life is also an upcoming event!

    "Friend" me anytime. I'm willing to help someone from Boston even if I am from New Jersey :-)

    Happy to be added. I started 10 days ago for second time around. Have about 100lbs to lose and am on here every day to stay motivated. My food diary is public and available to view although not sure it's inspiring. :laugh:

    Hi Jill,

    I have been tracking on here for a while. My fiance is a personal trainer and the one thing I have changed recently and am seeing great results is my cardio. I used to do Elliptical everyday. I was losing and feeling great, but then stopped losing for months and became so discouraged. He suggested I mix it up and stop doing Elliptical exclusively as my cardio workout. So, here is my new workout schedule:

    Mon: Elliptical and bike ride
    Tues: Elliptical and walk
    Wed: Kickboxing and bike ride
    Thurs: Elliptical and walk
    Fri: Elliptical and kickboxing
    Sat:off
    Sun: Kickboxing and walk

    The days vary, but this is my new workout schedule. I always take one day off a week from cardio, or after 5 days of cardio in a row, i know it is time for a break. So far, this has really helped. I have lost 13 lbs in 2 months.
