in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm Jessica and I am 30 years old. This is my 5th day on MFP. Basically I'm looking for people that can motivate me and I can try and do the same for them. I have noticed many people on this site have very strong views and opinions so I'm kind of afraid to send requests in case I'm not a very good match. I am trying to lose 40lbs , I keep an open journal, I haven't logged my exercise yet because I have yet to buy a gadget to tell me what I am burning at work. In the next few weeks I will have time for the gym. I usually do cardio and when I lose atleast half my weight I'd like to explore strength training : ) sorry for the long description...like I said I just want to find friends with common goals.

    Been here a while and understand what you are saying about some of the harsh comments that can come through.

    I have a great bunch of friends and I log daily as well as interact and support as much as possible.
    And, it has to be fun as well....LOL

    If anyone thinks this is for you, then feel free to add.

    Hi Jessica you can add me too.

    I suggest spinning classes. For my own weight loss I found with spinning I was loosing a lot of weight each week. The best thing also about spinning when you start you can go at your own pace and build it up a bit each week and I really enjoy the classes too.

    Good luck with your goal :-)

    Good morning,
    My name is Nadine. This morning as I was at the gym, a former collegiate stated she was doing this program. She has lost 33 pounds & looks great. In fact last night I decided I was going to do program & she confirmed my notion that this was something I need to do. So today I am ready to lose this weight one & forever. Need all the support I can get.
