Hi, I'm begging for friends.

Just kidding.

...noreallyI'mnotkiddingseriously...

I feel like I drifted away from MFP when my friends on here started taking breaks, or I stopped communicating. Of course, I'm to blame for regaining some of my weight, and I'm to blame for not taking my diet/exercise seriously.

That all ends right now. Right this second. Not tomorrow, not later in the week. Right now.

I put a HRM on hold in a shop, and I'm joining a gym in the morning. I registered for hot pilates, and a total body conditioning class tomorrow and my friend is going with me. I cannot wait to have sore muscles while I walk up and down stairs on Tuesday!

I would LOVE to have some active friends on here who will help encourage and motivate me to be the best me possible! :)

    Hi! Wow sounds like you are seriously hitting the exercise!! Good luck on your mission. I'm pretty active - power plates x3 per week and try to walk at least 4.5 miles a day and just about to start couch to 5 k. Also I do daily yoga but don't log it as I really don't think little 15 minute bursts in the morning and evening should really give me extra kcals? Please feel free to add me :)

    I am working at a life style change, I work at this every day. Well most days. Some days are better than others. I am making more of them better and better choices.

    I am also working through a C25K program. Walk/jogged my first 5k last month and have a 5k booked for every month through the fall this year. I'm a daily logger because I enjoy analyzing the progress. We all need friends and I would be happy to be part of your cheering section. I have been far more accountable in the last month now that I"ve been growing some active MFP friends and I know the value of a broad group of friends.

    I love yoga soo much! It doesn't burn too many calories, but it's good for the soul, and sometimes we need that. :)
    I'm also taking hot pilates tonight, SO nervous because I've only ever taken hot yoga! Hopefully I don't die! :D

    That's what's the most important! A LIFESTYLE change! Not a diet!! xx

    I started the c25k program, but I got soooo bored with it and just kinda did my own thing, I ran a couple 5k's but I stopped running after a while. BUT, I'm running one on my birthday, which is next month! :)
    I used to log like obsessively, but I just kinda fell off the wagon, but I'm ready to start again. ...my pants not fitting definitely helped!
