in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone!

I'm 30 years old, from Quebec, Canada. I'm currently trying to lose some weight (about 10-15 pounds). My final goal is to build muscles that show.

I've never been that overweight - my max weight is 183 - but I've always had a taste for fast food. I guess exercise (gym and soccer) saved me from going to higher weights.

Since I started minding my weight and eventually signed up for MFP, I lost about 10 pounds, which means I'm currently at 169 lbs for a height of 5'8. I like to log whatever I eat, especially during weekdays. On week-end, I tend to slack off or to eat from restaurants, so you never know exactly how many calories you are eating. But I try to always make the best decision when I go out. I've also cut alcohol drastically and replaced it with better food

But anyways, what I'm currently doing seems to be working. I'm eating an average of 2,000 calories per day + I go running 3 to 4 times per week for 45 to 90 minutes, depending on my mood and time available. Music is my best friend here. I also workout in a gym 3 times per week (I'll tell you more about my program if you want to know). And indoor soccer just restarted, which is twice per week for an hour.

I'm just looking for friends who are in any kind of situation:
- Heavy weight loss
- Light weight loss (like myself)
- Weight/muscle gain (like I will start when I'll have lost some weight)

I'm looking for motivation to keep going. Fall is around the corner and I'm pretty sure I'll have a drop of motivation to still go for a jog outside.

Add me :) I'll try to add a picture of current body soon and to update it as I lost weight and eventually bulk up.

Cheers! :)

    I am a very similar position to you. I was never overweight just not in shape. With watching what I eat and becoming a gym rat I am in the best shape of my life. Now I am looking for more definition in my abs and arms. It is all about diet and cutting the last bit of body fat to see some nice lines.

    I was, unfortunately, very heavy (215 at my heaviest) but with MFP and working out 3-4 times a week I've managed to lost 46 pounds so far. I'm always looking for motivation and friends :)

    Whatever you want to know about me just ask I'm terrible with this "getting to know you" stuff..

    I am still terribly overweight (somewhere between 220 and 230) myself, and am just as terrible at the self introductions lol. I always feel like am trying to boast or brag, or even sell myself. I AM however looking for more friends and support as well, and would love to get to know anyone who wants to get to know me :laugh:

    Just got in a couple of days back. I weigh 264 pounds and need to desperately cut down on the pounds. Don't mind if you all out there talk about cheeseburgers, that's how I got here in the first place. Need some friends to motivate me. Thanks.

    UPDATE: I'm now at 168 pounds. I now tie my belt one hole tighter. I noticed a difference, especially at stomach level :)

    Indoors soccer has indeed restarted, so I'm playing on Wednesday and Thursday. I don't feel like I'm burning at many calories during my games as I am when jogging, but it's more fun :)

    You can still add me :D

    Oops....that's not me in the picture, Wiltford. That is my favorite hockey player who is also from Canada...Kris Letang. I didn't want you to think I was trying to impersonate someone else. :laugh:
