Hi everyone!

I am pretty motivated to exercise and eat well, but could use some friends for support and accountability! I am 26, 5'4" weigh 138.8 lbs and my BF is roughly 27%. I'd like to lose about 15 lbs and reduce my BF to ~21%.

Currently, I do circuit training with free weights + a 10 minute interval run 3x/week and try to fit in some yoga or walking. I also eat a mostly paleo diet to manage some GI issues I have.

Add me if you would like to motivate each other! I'm looking to step it up :)

    Hi, y'all!

    I am also looking for some friends for support and to exchange do's and dont's of what to do to lose body fat. I am a shorty and a chubster. ha. I am 5'0 and weigh 145 with Body Fat % of 34. My main goal is to drop my body fat to 22%.

    I recently hired a trainer, and do circuit trainer with her twice a week. I started on the Couch to 5k, and take a Body Pump class at Gold's at least twice a week.

    feel free to add me, I don't have enough friends that lift. I'm not trying to lose so I feel like sometimes it's hard to relate so a lot of what goes on on my news feed, and when I post lifting related problems it's like crickets hahah

    Please add me as well! I'm relatively new to weight training, but don't have any female friends IRL that want to lift and only use the cardio machines as their exercise (nothing wrong with that - it's just not for me).

    Just sent you a request!

    Anyone else feel free to add me as well! I only have a couple friends currently that lift so it'd be great to have others that post about it on my friends list as well.

    Add me if you'd like! I used to lift 5x a week, decreased it (and my weights) since I'm halfway through my first pregnancy... still squatting and deadlifting though :) Would love to have more MFP friends that lift!

    Anyone can add me, I've been consistently lifting for 6 months 3-4 days a week. Soon I may be cutting back because I want to run a half marathon next year and I'll need to run a lot more for that but I'm never giving up lifting :D
