New, determined, motivated and looking for friends!

Hi there!

I'm new here and am ready to do this! I'm a Canadian woman looking for friends and support. I occasionally suffer from a bad wheel (knee injury) but I don't let that stop me! My plan will involve eating as clean as possible, lots of exercise (strength and cardio) so that my body expects me to do it (and I can form a habit) and being prepared. I will be commencing January 1st as I will be shopping, cooking and pre-measuring all of my food for the next week tomorrow. I won't be going out on New Year's Eve so I can start the year off with a bang instead of a hangover! (Good luck to all of you who choose the latter, I'm sure you'll have a blast!)

I'm a very down to earth gal, looking for people who truly want to support and motivate each other. Please send me a friend request if you're looking for the same.

    Hi,
    I'm looking for some support too and can offer encouragement. I've tried to connect with a group before, but I'm not sure how this works. Do I have to log in and look for this group? Does it automatically send me an alert when someone from the group contributes?
    Thanks!
  • Hello,

    I'm new to the site but excited to start a new healthy lifestyle journey. I'm 38 yrs old and working towards getting healthy and hopefully hit my goal weight of being down 45 lbs. I've been overweight for the past 15 years and need to get my body in check. Looking forward on going through this journey together!

    I'm returning to the site after dealing with being a new mom. I did well with this site last time and I look forward to the same success. Looking for people who would like encouragement and willing to give some too.

    Hi discolady79, sorry to say this isn't a group, I was just introducing myself so that I might find some partners-in-slime, so to speak. A network of friends with the common goal of sticking with it :) Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Welcome! I've been around MFP for about 1.5 years and I love it. I pretty much log every day and have a great community of friends on here. Feel free to add me! I am in a bit of a plateau period right now and could use some fresh motivation.

    Welcome aboard. I have been doing this for a year now and it has been working for me, albeit a bit slow. Sent a friend request as I find this a good way to keep me accountable.
