in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone! I am reaching out to all of the ladies on this wonderful website, hoping to find my lifestyle/workout Doppelganger Sister(s) so that we can join forces and reach our goal(s). I don't need to lose a lot of weight (as you will read below), but I do want to lose those few extra pounds that sit around my middle and tone the body that's hidden beneath.

I lack motivation! There's no point in denying it! There are some nights when I am completely gun-ho to do my workout, almost rushing to put on my workout clothes and blast the music in my ears. I give it my all, push myself to my limits and feel fantastic for it afterwards. But this is only approx. 50% of the time (MAX). My husband is fantastic and is really helping me, but I know that if I had someone to answer to on here, that I would do far better.

So, my stats;
I am a 31-year-old mother of 2 awesome children and the wife of the most incredible & funniest man alive. I am 5'7" and fluctuate between 135-140lbs. I'm only looking to lose 10lbs MAX, but I want to get rid of the spare tire around my waist and the extra flab that has settled in various other places.

I can't go to the gym, however I am in the process of buying myself a treadmill. I love to walk, it's my favourite exercise, and once I have that treadmill, I'll be walking up a storm. But I also have such things as Wii Zumba Core, Jillian Michael Ultimate Challenge 2010, the Wii Balance Board...and my main cardio right about now is to dance up a storm. And I mean it! Once the music starts pumping in my ears, I just let go. I am also trying different calisthetiques, so maybe we can swap/share what has worked for the other.

So what do you say? Would you like to be my MFP Sister and join together to fight the bulge? Feel free to ask questions, should you so have any.


Light, Love & Magick,


Tryxxie :flowerforyou:

    If interested you can add me as well. Everything you described about yourself is the same as me: I'm not as motivated as I should be, I desire to lose weight in my middle and I need a ton of motivation. I log on daily but haven't quite gotten the hang of how to interact with others here.

    Don't worry about interacting, hun! It comes with time! But feel free to message me whenever you want if you need motivation, and I will do the same. Maybe we should come up with some kind of log or something?

    Hmmmm....

    I would be happy to join in! Was just going to make a post looking for support. I just changed my goals to lose another 10-15, and excercise is my biggest lack. I also excercise from home, because I have two children to watch out for. I have lost the last five quite slow, and want to start counting/get active.

    The MFP Sisters are growing. Fantastic!

    Now, should I create a group where we can post & talk as we like, without fear of bad mojo coming from others?

    Hi Sisters,

    So I created a group where we can all meet up and motivate/support each other. If you didn't get the invite, let me know.

    Looking forward to seeing you all there.

    I'd love to join!!!

    I'm 30 and need to loose 20 lbs. I am trying to do this by working out and portion control. Lack of will-power on both counts is what got me here in the first place :)

    I would love to join this group! Please add me too!

    I am 26 (27 this month), recently married, and have gained back some of my wedding weight I worked SO HARD to lose! More motivation the better! I would like to lose about 30 - 35 pounds and be in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE before we decide to bring a child into this world!

    - Amy

    PS- Anyone can add me if they'd like! :)
