Hi Everyone

Hope all is well, I have always liked being active and have had to lose 65-100 lbs 3 times in my life (for of my pregnancies) currently just had a break over summer and going get back at it.

My current goal is to go down a couple sizes or 18 lbs whatever comes first but my main goal is just to be fit and healthy for life. My new years resolution was to run a 5 km once a month for the whole year and so far I have done it, I have 4 runs left to finish my year, I honestly can't believe it I have never even run a 5 km run before the resolution, so I am proud.

My next run is a registered charity run its 6 KM and its on Sep 27

I am looking to have fun and make friends while I am on my journey to good health while I am at MFP

Take Care and good luck on your journeys as well.

HI there my name is Yakira and I am from Florida, I am 33 years old and as long as I can remember I have been watching my weight. I never seem to be able to reach my goals, I find myself picking at foods or eating left overs and that is what is killing me even though my goal is to loose just 7 lbs it seems so hard.
Personally with me is about having a tight body and I think that is the hardest thing especially when you compare yourself to other women, all these expectations we try to live up to that are so unrealistic but at the same time you will try anything to get there, I know allot of women can relate to this. I have so much respect for individuals who have been able to stick by there weight loss goals because I know is not easy.

Greetings,

I just joined the group, and as you can see, have a lot of work to do. I rarely weigh myself as it terrifies me, and also discourages me. At this point, I've lost 2 inches off my waist, 1 on my chest, 1 inch off my arms, and am down 2 dress sizes. It's coming off somewhere, but the pounds won't move. I need some accountability, so I did place my name on the spreadsheet. I'm hoping that seeing other people's progress, and reading the challenges everyone goes through, will inspire me to work even harder.

Hey There,

I'm Alex and new on MFP, about a week or so now. I think I've found my base line now and know why I weigh 224lbs. My goal is to get to 195lbs. I try and eat Paleo as much as possible but it's not always a reality for me. I'm loving the app and find it addictive and exciting. I'm kind of analytical so the tracking of numbers and being accurate really speak to me.

I have two great kids and one that is in the super hero/ninja phase so running and jumping with him is a daily occurrence. I'm using the ACCUPEDO app to track steps ad connect it to my MFP. It's pretty cool.

I'm always happy to see other people success's and the joy in them. If you want to friend me that would be great. Plus...I need the accountability to stay on track. Now, I just have to dust off my treadmill and get on it.

I wish you all success and perseverance!!!

Hi -- I'm brand new to the site, though I've been using the app for a few months...My highest weight was 240, and I'm hovering just a few pounds above 200 at the moment. My ultimate goal is 140. Anyway, I'm a New Jersey girl who just turned 30 in August, and it's nice to meet you all. :flowerforyou:

I'm looking for new friends on MFP. Many of my friends are inactive. I would like a better support group. Thanks

Hi Im newish to this group (first time posting joined a while ago) just looking for some more friends

Hi! my name is Candy, and I am 35yr-old, Christian wife and mom of two boys. my husband and I have been happily married for 13 wonderful years. we live in a small country town in North Carolina. I am currently using the Wii Fit Plus to help lose weight, as well as walking and eating healthier. I'm hoping to make some new friends

Hey there. I'm Irshan, a 32 year old doc in Georgia. I'm married to a beautiful wife, we've got two great kids, and life is grand...except I can't stay consistent with caring for my health. I've got weight to lose and health to gain, but my motivation never lasts. I'm hoping this helps!

Hi Im shannon, My biggest passion is dancing salsa and argentine tango but i don't like the way that i look right now so I've stopped and it makes me sad that I'm not dancing. i want to lose the weight and start dancing again. to work out i do hot yoga and walking my dog brownie. i love this food counter its like a game. and i hope to make some friends on here. I'm going to turn 34 in 3 days and maybe thats why I'm feeling a little down, reminds me that I'm getting older and I'm not happy with how i look. i want to change that.
