in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,

My name is Amanda and Im 5'7" and I currently weigh 154. I want to lose ~20lbs before summer comes back around. I try to eat right and exercise 4-5 times a day. I do great for a week (diet) to a month (exercise) and then I fall off the wagon. I would love to find others who can motivate me either emotionally or physically.

Feel free to add me as a friend and if you live in the Virginia Beach area I would love to find a running/workout partner. I dont run fast.....usually between a 10-11 min/mile.

Amanda

    Hi Amanda,

    I'm a London-Irish lass living in Sydney with very similar goals to you (29, 5'7) ... I have always hovered around the 150-155lb mark & would love to lose 20lb to feel more comfortable in my clothes (especially a bikini on the zillion beaches here in Oz!) & to feel lighter when I run! Let's root for each other & do this!

    Welcome!

    Write down those goals so when you want to stop, you remember why you are going and keep going! You know your 'points' where you usually stop. Hey, its not "Fun" after a month to eat better and its not "fun" to keep working out 4-5 times a week. When your goals mean enough, then you'll get into the Lifestyle Change Mindset vs "Diet" and it will happen!

    We're here to help!
