Looking for Friends!

Hi, my name is Ayla and I'm 22 years old.
I'm looking to lose about 35 pounds and just feel better about myself.
People say I'm not fat but I feel self conscious.
I would love some motivational friends on here to help me stay focused.
I've made multiple accounts on here and I want this one to be my last.
I do log daily and I am very motivational when people need it.
Feel free to add me! If you could attach a small note, that would be awesome!

Thanks for reading! I hope to hear from you guys and get this journey started!

  • Hello, my name is bob and I have been using MFP off and on for a couple of years. I am looking for friends to help keep me motivated. I am currently unable to run due to Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot, so I have started biking with an swim every now and then. My goal is to try and drop the weight that I have started putting on since I haven't been able to run for a while now. If you are looking for a friend or someone to help keep you motivated send me a friend request. Good luck in all your endeavors.

    Today is Day 1intermittent fasting "diet". I put diet in quotes because it isnt really a diet. It just rearranges a window of when you can eat. No more days of the stereotypical 6 meals a day. Who has time for that anyways? I plan to ride this out for the next 90 days and see what the results are. I am currently beginning Stronglifts 5x5 . This is my third round of stronglifts (not consecutive though, which is my fault. I got lazy) My weight tends to fluctuate over extended periods of working out and being a lazy . I weighed 215 during my fittest day powerlifting in 2011. February of 2012 Started runniing and eating better at this point, but not really working out) May 2012- 238lbs. Currently - 228lbs My goal after all is to get down to around 200lbs by the end of the next 90 days. I will update my weight every Monday and update the pics after every 30 days. Now for the IF schedule:I work out as soon as I get home from work, which is usually 6 p.m. I am up at 5:30 every morning. I tried to get up earlier than that to workout, but I couldnt keep that routine for very long. My Schedule. (16/8 fast/feed)  at 12:00 noon is when the feeding window opens (About 25% of my daily caloric intake) 6:00 p.m. - Workout for 1 hr to 1.25 hrs 7:30 p.m. - Post workout meal (biggest of the day) 8:00 p.m. - Feeding window closes, fasting begins for 16 hrs**This will change depending on when your workout period is. The beauty of the IF program is that you can slide the fast/feed window to fit your schedule. But the website does recommend that you keep the same window everyday.The challenge for me will be keeping up with my diet and the fasting during the weekends. I have scaled back my alcohol consumption to a day or so each week.If you have any questions, just ask. I might not have the answers, but will help if I can. I am learning this as I go. --Duayl
