in Motivation and Support
I don't have much of a "support group" around me (no one doubting me, just no one encouraging me either) for my fitness goals and would love to build up a bigger group on here if at all possible. I'm incredibly shy and an ultimate introvert so anyone willing to add me is appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

    Hi! I'll send a friend request also. I'm also 5'9 and when I first started my journey, was just north of the weight you posted. Now several years later and having lost over 70 pounds, I am still finding that I need motivation since some of the weight has crept back on. Damn holidays and 8 months on winter! We got this!!

    Count me in as well. I'm also 5'9 and down to 215. I had gotten down to 190 but hit a bad patch late last year and gained 40 lbs. I'm 54 and find strength training harder than it used to be. Mostly I ride my bikes.

    I'm 5' 10" male and I've lost 44 pounds since January using MyFitnessPal and Fitbit. I've just started weight training and still get my 5 miles a day in using FitBit either walking, cycling, or my Gazelle Glider that I have at home. Trust the calorie count that MyFitnessPal suggests for your age, weight, height, etc. If I have a very active day, then I will allow 100-200 calories over my normal target calories to make sure I don't go into starvation mode. I've generally lost 2-3 pounds a week until I started weight training and increased my calories to 1800. Now I'm losing about 1 pound a week but I know it is fat loss. I've lost over 10 inches in my waist so I've actually enjoyed clothes shopping for the first time in many years! I started at 233 and now weigh 189. I plan to lose to 174 which will be a healthy BMI for me.
