in Introduce Yourself
I am a newbie! 26 years old and have always been overweight. I recently lost 12 pounds and a good friend recommended MFP to me. I know from past attempts at weight loss that food journaling, group workouts and human support help me. I have the journal with calorie counter, and some awesome support from colleagues and friends (and sometimes family) but I need workouts that I enjoy and people to workout with- suggestions for fun workouts? I think I can con people into working out with me but I want something FUN!

Hit me up if you want support or want to give support AND if you have fun workouts!

    Hello there

    First of all congrats on losing 12 pounds already that's a big achievement on it's own you should be proud.. And secondly if you're looking for fun workouts I recently came across 'zumba' which is a Latin dance workout and is pretty cool and plenty fun.. Check it out it's quite popular anyway.. I know a friend who lost almost 40 lbs only by doing zumba.. Good luck to you and all of us here and sure you ll find the support u need here coz this community rocks =)

    If you liked Zumba, and you have any kind of video gaming system, they have a new Zumba game out, also, my mom just got just dance for the wii and it's a lot of fun (especially since I'm competitive and NEED to beat all the high scores).
