Hi Everyone!

I've joined MFP for a while now but I've just started to get very serious about getting fit.

About me:
I'm 26 years old and I am overweight - I'm going to change this fact and very determined about it.
You see, I've always procrastinated getting into shape because let's face it, it's hard work. However, recently during the harsh winter we've just had in Toronto, I realised a few things:
1. Summer is coming and I can't hide my body any more
2. My feet ache like it never used to before
3. I need to sort myself out before I become another statistic.

Since February I've been eating healthier, going to the gym. I've lost some weight, slowly and steadily however there used to be days where I would "treat myself" - which isn't wrong at all, but the frequency of it was not the best.

Now summer is literally around the corner, and I am in better shape than I used to be in February. However I'm more serious about this now, more determined than ever. It would be great to have some support along the way too.

So, come on, lets be friends and motivate each other to reach our goals and more!

P.S. I still like cats, but am afraid of them since one slapped me in the face.

    My dog kills things and then rolls around in the guts. I'm trying to decide which is worse.

    Good for you to getting serious about getting fit! I only started my journey about a month ago - but I'm a great cheerleader :)

    Sending friend request on the sole basis of originality in thread titles. This is a sign of both intelligence and charm, I'm sure of it.

    I am neither intelligent, nor charming, but I like cats that slap people.

    I have grown up with cats and lasted exactly 2 weeks on my own before having to get one hehe. They slap because they love :p My oldest cat loves winter because I wear long sleeves and let him use my arm as a giant toy to bite and kick hehe. Yes, they are spoiled rotten.

    I agree. I definitely deserved to be slapped. That cat hated my guts.

    Love the title! :) I have 4 cats (all British Shorthair). The oldest of the 4 slapped me once and I was surprised how loud and strong the slap was... lol. Even though cats are such *kitten* at times, you've got to love them them :)

    Wishing you the very best of luck on your journey! I'm sure you will do great :)

    Cheers,
    Luke

    I thought your title was due to getting hit with cat gifs in some other post, but you actually meant the real thing.
    Been there ... been slapped by wife's cats ... never replaced them when they departed.

    Have also been there with the weight, dropped 80+ so far, and I am looking forward to beach season for the first time in years.

    Good luck to you. Keep focused, keep your chin up, and you'll get there.

    So sad to hear you're part of the cat slap club too!

    Thanks for your advice, it's all going great so far! I went to the outdoor swimming pool, and didn't feel self conscious - yay!

    Hilarious title. Cats are evil, but that's why I love them! Welcome to MFP. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be to grow a thick skin if you don't already have one. People love being snarky on the forums, but they give excellent advice. Put any butthut aside, roll with the jabs, and glean out the useful information, which there will be plenty of. You might even make some excellent, even lifelong friends, as I have.

    I have multiple cats, they each have their own personality and way of "loving/abusing" me lol. One of them will slap me in the face/jaw area but without using his claws.
