Friends Wanted

Hi there.

My name is Danielle. I'm 32 years old. I actually joined this site last fall while looking for an app to record my daily diet. I never fully committed to using the site until last week. After a long overdue girls night out, my best friend and I agreed that we didn't want to look "30" anymore. She's the mother of a 15 month old, and let's just face it, I got too comfortable and more or less stopped caring.

My goal is 15 pounds in 2 months. I'm 5'4" and my starting weight last week was 147. So far I am down 2 pounds in the first week with pretty minimal effort. I plan on kicking things into full gear and getting back to into my running habits. I learned a long time ago not to base everything on the scale- I have an athletic body type. If I can get below 132, bonus. Otherwise, once I reach that goal, toning will be the most important thing to me.

To make this possible, I am looking for friends on this site to encourage me and hold me accountable. Will you be my friend?

Thanks for reading. Best wishes to you in your goals.
DL

    Hi! I'll send you a request. I think most women in the 5'0" - 5'5" range have a weight goal in the 130s. I'm one of them.

    Hi. I'm Tracy and I'm 47. I just started 2 weeks ago. I'm 5'4" and started at 134. My goal is 125 pounds. I haven't started exercising a lot. Some yogo and I walk my dog. I'd love to have you as a friend and support your efforts and mine. My 16 year old daughter is doing
    this too. We are trying to be more balanced in our food choices and I want her to have a good foundation.

    I will be your friend! Go ahead and add me. My pounds have been coming off very slowly. I just turned 30, got a physical and the doc told me it's time to lose weight and eat right because my Triglyceride count is too high. So, here I am doing my best. I have been logging my calories for almost a month now and just started working out regularly on April 1. I'm starting to get addicted to cardio!
