in Introduce Yourself
I've had MFP for a while but really only started using it over the last week, and really the past couple days. After a few set-backs, I'm getting back into the swing of working out. In addition to losing weight, I have a big goal this year… to run a 1/2 marathon. Looking for like minded friends to help me stay motivated!

    Awesome goal! Mine is to do a century (100 mile bike ride) this year. I first started on MFP quite a while back, but came back at the end of December when I got serious. I'm on everyday too!

    Wow ...that's awesome. Running a half marathon is always something i have wanted to do prior to leaving the 40's.

    Hey! I'm hope to run a half marathon next January too, maybe sooner. I broke my ankle at the end of last summer which ruined the opportunity to do some of the runs I wanted to do this year. I just found out I can safely work out again, so I have been slowly trying to do that lately. I have really bad asthma and allergies, so I have to use my inhaler basically every 2 minutes and it's hard for me to work out really, but I am trying to do a little bit every day at least as I know this will also help with my breathing. I'm 5'9 and 185 lbs at the moment, so I'm 20 lbs overweight again. I was at a healthy weight this past summer until my ankle broke. My ultimate goal is to get back to 130 lbs, but right now just focusing on getting to a healthy weight (160). I'd be down to help you stay motivated! :)

    Hi there... I started here 10 days ago, and 5 pounds later I'm still here!

    My goal is to lose about 50lbs while getting fit, to tackle some big mountainbike rides later in the year...

    I'd be happy to keep you company...

    Patrick.

    Hi there!

    I started logging stuff in about 20 days ago but I'm now on week 6th of my new lifestyle :) I've just started training for a 5k Race for Life I'll be running in June so who knows, maybe I get addicted to running and end up thinking about running a half-marathon as well!

    Feel free to add me, I log everything everyday and I've lost 6kg so far (13lbs) (1kg/2lbs per week up to now) and still a long way to go but... I'm happy I took the decision to finally change my life :)

    Hi!

    If any of you are still looking for friends, feel free to add me. I'm on here pretty much every day (I only rarely miss a day, and then it's only 1 day!) and log everything. I am working on getting fitter now that I'm close to my goal weight, and I love biking and running (though I can't as yet run terribly far-- I'm working on that). I'm very active and exercise pretty much every day.

    I'm also good about paying attention to what my MFP friends are doing-- I find that people "liking" or commenting on what I'm doing is super encouraging, so I do the same for others! I like to chat some too, but I try not to create walls of text!!!

    Hi,

    Feel free to add me as well, I'm pretty much on everyday and working hard to get to my goal weight by August. I post my food log pretty much everyday, and began eating Paleo style about 2 months ago. I created a FB group/page as well where people post healthy recipes and eating tips so feel free to check it out!

    Hi,

    Feel free to add me if you're looking for active and supportive friends. I've been logging consistently for 310 days as of today. I do like to interact with people on my friends list as well. I'm getting back into running but I don't have a goal race this year. Right now my main focus is loosing excess baby weight and exercising 5 times a week.
