Hi. I only started this phase of my weight loss journey 9 days ago. This is my 3rd time having to lose the weight in just over 10 years. I am very serious about meeting my goals and I find having people to check in with is very helpful. Thank you for starting this group!
Regards,
Susan

Hello peeps.

Here is a little introduction about myself. I'm trying to get motivation back on me because i don't wanna loose track of what i have accomplished over the years. I have been very emotional lately and almost a promised i made to myself years back ago before i started to loose weigth and beign healtier.

Ive been kicking it back with basic cardio work outs now for two weeks @ the gym... next week im starting real training with a professional trainer (double the word lol) and im just hopping is gonna be for the best... I really just wanna be around people who can motivate and be motivated around each other and hopefully this small group is what can turn into

Hello,

My goals are

-Workout at least 30 mins a day 3-5 days a week
-Lose as much weight as I can (healthy way)
- Get away from bas sugar
-Have more energy to play with my kids
- Move around more

Hi, I'm Kris.

I want to get back into my old active habits, I used to dance in high school and college and I ran I good bit pretty regularly. Now I wouldn't say I'm fat but I'm not fit either. So my goals are primarily to be more active. I've started running again, so I've set myself a goal to reach 10 miles this year and my husband and I have a few free weights at home so I've set one goal to actually use them at least twice a week and and another goal to get a six pack for this summer (or something close to it lol). My profile says I want to get down to 100lbs but I won't be disappointed if I don't reach that goal because I know (especially with running and strength training) I'll be gaining a bit of muscle on this journey, so weight really doesn't matter to me.

Also I guess I could add a little personal info about myself just to get it out there. My husband and I hunt, bow and rifle hunting for deer during the fall/winter, and turkey hunting in the spring. It's something we get to do together outside in nature and plus it puts good lean meat on the table (nothing processed or injected with hormones), we're the type that hunt for meat not for horns (the horns are just a bonus if you can get them to stand still long enough). I've only just recently started bow hunting and found that it is a great workout for my arms and surprisingly my stomach as well, even as a hobby. We usually don't start practicing with our bows until after turkey season ends so I'm hoping to get a head start this year by using those weights. Also, on the weekends, my husband and I try to be active by going hiking, biking, kayaking(in the spring and summer), or just out for walks in general with our dog (who has started to get a little pudgy as well). I don't have any kids (yet) but I do have three beautiful fluffy fat cats that sleep all day and bug the crap out of me at night lol. I have a wonderfully boring office job that I love (lol oxymoron I know). I only say that cause some days are so busy and I love it, and then other days it slows down to the point I'm sitting here trying to force the time to go by faster lol. Though I really do love my job, I'm still holding on to my dream of becoming an astronaut/ballerina/doctor (you never know, it could happen).

Well I've blabbed on long enough, so HEY! to everyone and I'm excited about joining this group .

I forgot to mention, I am doing a half marathon with my husband on 26 april and my short term goal is to lose another 10lbs before then to help me run it better/easier! I have also been doing at least 3 miles a day running, cycling or walking, i have done this since 1st jan this year. I am a nana to 2 gorgeous granddaughters aged 4yrs and 6mths and i live in the UK.

Hola! I'm Rowan.

My goal is to lose about 50lbs without slipping into bad habits... then actually MAINTAINING it, lol.

Good luck everybody

Hi everybody!

I'm Marissa, and I've used MFP before to lose 40# and it rocked. However, that was right before nursing school (AKA the most stressful two years of my life, lol), and when I looked up I'd gained half of it back! I've been back on here for 9 days, but I've found what I miss most is the camaraderie from last time (there were several girls at my office that did MFP together).

Goals:
- Log ALL my food, every day (not just when I'm staying on my pre-planned meals).
- Lose 30# total, no real deadline just to get down to my goal weight.
- Lose at least 10# by this summer (would love to lose 20# but don't want to set too aggressive of a goal and then fail and get discouraged).
- Get a daily workout in (I used to walk my dog 2-3x per day, but can't anymore due to some issues on his end).
- Do better on the weekends (the BF and I tend to eat horribly on the weekends, because we're always either at one of our family's houses or running amok trying some new restaurant, and what's the point of going to that cute little Italian place for a salad?!?)

Hi everyone!

I took a desk job, bought a car, and stopped bike/train commuting about a year ago. So of course, I gained weight. My goals are to lose 20 lbs, to attend my fitness classes at least 3 times each week, and (once it's above 40 degrees out, it's frigid and icy now in Chicago) take a long walk or jog on the days that I don't attend fitness classes.

So far, so good with logging my meals. Now I just have to stick with it!

Hi to all. I tried to read everyone's intro. I have battled my weight since I can remember. I am a mother of four boys, who recently got the youngest into kindergarten this year. I joined a gym 6 weeks ago, started keeping a food diary 3 weeks ago. I would love to have support. Somehow my husband doesn't get it. I have to work extra hard to work out and eat healthy. I work out 5 days a week. M-F. The weekends are just too hard to squeeze anything in. I work the Arc trainer for an hour, then add an hour of weights M, W, F.
My goals
1. To be able to say my weight out loud. (Actual, not fabricated)
2. To have such a healthy eating habit that I dont realize its healthy.
3. To not just feel thin, but to feel fit and strong.
