in Introduce Yourself
Hi!
I am new to MFP.
I have lost 8 lbs in the last three and a half weeks. I am losing through calorie restriction, almost daily cardio, and weight lifting 3-4x a week.
I am planning on losing around another 50 lbs. and would love to exchange some accountability and support!

    I used to stick to cardio too and avoided strength training, I'm not sure why, starting has been great though! It makes me feel strong and empowered. As far as where to start, we have trainers at my YMCA who will walk a person through the machines to get them started.

    I have similar goals. I've been walking everyday and done Insanity in the past. I plan to start Body Revolution soon and keep walking. So far, I've been logging every day.

    I have 37lbs to go, so I feel the lack of motivation at first. I will join a gym (I spend too much with drop ins) Saturday and swim away-day by day min by min this extra stuff. When results are seen in my eyes, and for you we will need no motivation right? That will be it in itself. Add me, we must stay posiive
