    Great job. I gave up my planet fitness membership about 3 years ago. I was looking good. Working out several times a week, but the next step in my plan wasn't working. No HIs!!!!! Just a bunch of people watching TV or listening to digital music players. Ok, sometimes the women would talk to me and we'd hash out diet plans and exercise stuff . . . but no men. I said SCREW THIS . . . if I am leaving my house I want real socialization.

    GREAT progress! Keep it up! The more muscle you have the more fat you will burn. Make sure you are eating clean as well. Six pack here you come!

    you're doing great work - i'm gonna throw something out there, and it's not for everybody, for sure - but you might wanna think about it.

    this web portal is my gym buddy. i come here to learn, to harvest links, information, and experience from the folks who've walked this road before i did. when i go to the gym, though, i see it as a solitary battle. it's me against my enemy - which is also me. i can't really include anyone else, because no one else can do this for me. since i'm essentially working against myself - my long history of crappy self-esteem and bad habits, i have to do this alone - by myself, against myself, but ultimately for myself.

    as a society, we've become extremely antisocial in face to face contact...it's just the way it is. but that doesn't mean you can't soldier on with support from other areas - like this one.

    I understand feeling alone. My whole family always talks about being healthier, but then ask if I want pizza or ice cream... Food is the way my family always bonded. Cooking from scratch, baking, making large amounts of sugary meals to binge on. I started eating better and my mom was like I need to do that, but never means it. Then I started working out and asked if she'd like to join. She did for 10min telling me to move more or go faster than the plan, then was too wore out to finish. She is in way better shape than me and always tells me I need to loose weight because I was such a pretty girl, but she is one of my worst influences. Now that I've stayed home more to cook, exercise, and meal prep she's starting to get it and stops mid sentence when offering food. Everything takes time, and I'm reaching out on MFP for friends in the cause. This helps keep me focused. It fuels me with the success stories. Thank you so much
