in Introduce Yourself
Well, last year I joined MFP and lost 30lbs in 4 months. I was rockin and rollin weight loss. About 4 months in, I got some awful kind of bronchitis and for some reason it totally threw off my groove. I stopped working out and starting eating terribly again, especially when my wife got pregnant. I gained 20lbs during her pregnancy and I wasn't even carrying the baby! :)

Anyhow, as of last week, I have jumped headfirst into weight loss again. I am working out 60 minutes or so per day, hiking 20 minutes, and eating right. I would love to have some MFP friends to motivate me along and also just for the company.

My goal is 6lb per month. I expect to exceed it.

    30lbs that is awesome!! I'm sure you will be rocking in no time. I find it difficult to stay on track during the weekends, M-F I am very discipline, but the weekends can be tough, any advice? Hope and wish you the best on your quest. Rudy.

    Expectations ruin everything! ... You can't possibly lose 6lbs a week, every week. So let go of that thought for a start. Any loss is significant. So good luck. :smile:


    Rudyryan33: The weekends are the same for me, all i can think to suggest is trying to keep busy. I find I'm usually busier during the week so it's easier to be more disciplined.

    All that matters is that you can admit your "fall off the wagon" and that you're back to correct it! Congratulations and welcome back!

    6lbs a week would be incredible, but he wrote 6lbs per Month :)

    I said 6 per month. Haha. Unless I plan to take up anorexia or go on a hunger strike, I don't expect to lose 6 per week.

    I'm 30, from Quebec Canada. I'm currently losing some weight (10-15 lb) to start weight lifting more seriously. I'm checking what I eat, I run as often as possible and I play competitive soccer twice per week.



    Anyone can add me :)
