Hi! My name is Jenna and I'm 29 years old. I've always been athletic and fairly toned. I spent about 6 months weight lifting, eating clean, and feeling great. I lost about 20 pounds, dropped a pant size and felt fantastic! But, I fell of the band-wagon. I don't know how. I don't know why. But, I'm upset with myself and I'm back into it full swing! After speaking with my husband, he said, "what's stopping you from biting the bullet?" My answer? I didn't have one... I'm looking for MFP followers who can motivate and need motivation themselves...We only get one life, right? Why not live it as healthy as possible and "bite the bullet" and make it happen!!! :-)

    Feel free to add me. I log everyday and will be doing this for the rest of my life due to dealing with a rare genetic disease. I've got about 35lbs to get to where I'd like to be but am recovering from surgery. I lost 40lbs last year between MFP and exercise. About 10-12 years ago I lost 115lbs. Support goes both ways with me.

    Hello! I would love to help motivate you. I too have gotten off track, but I am changing to a healtier lifestyle. I am 38 years old with two teenage boys and I need to loose 30 lbs. I just purchased a 2 year membership to 24 hour fitness and will be shopping for clean foods later today. I have a great network of friends with similar goals at work, but I feel you can never have too much support when entering into a battle for your life! In addition to logging, working out and eating clean, I plan to keep a journal of my successes and struggles.
