Hi all!! I'm looking for a few people stuck in the same boat as me. I'm extremely active and don't eat much junk food but I struggle to lose weight. When I say extremely active I mean.... I do karate 3x a week, judo once a week , ballroom twice a week and badminton, gym and running regularly lol!! I'm now working with a dietian and am on a high protein low carb diet. I lost 6lbs in the first week (before Xmas) and am struggling to get back into the swing of 5 meals a day. Anyone fancy being my motivation? :D I can give advice for fitness training if that's of any use!!

    Not nearly as active as you, but I am at karate 2-3 times a week, rest of the time chasing after my 15 month old or walking the 11year old dog. I could use some co-motivation.

    Hi! I'm Kate and I'm 25 years old living in Edmonton, Canada. I'm aiming to be as active as you; I play hockey once or twice a week, run with my dog and do various fitness DVDs. I similarly made a real effort to lose weight and boost my fitness level before Christmas and did really well, but struggled to keep it up over the holidays and when my husband and i went on vacation! My friend and I are having a competition to do more fitness activities as well as eating better (definitely helps because I'm very competitive haha) but I could always use another co-motivator! :smile:

    Sure I'm always up for a challenge :) not sure if I could squeeze any more activities into the week what with uni deadlines looming haha. Maybe I'll just training longer hours. Haha. I do that most evening :D good to hear there are other really active people out there. I've always been really active. I'm fitter than all my friend but also bigger than most of them :( granted there's a lot of muscle there but a lot of extra padding too which I could do with getting rid of haha :)
