Hi, my name is Casey. I just started using MFP again. I have previously used it to lose about 10 lbs, but i have a lot more to go and ended up gaining those back anyway. I'd like some people to chat with and keep progress with. It can be strictly for weight loss or also friendship- whichever you're cool with. I'd like people of similar age, interests and female- but I will accept most anyone with a positive attitude toward losing a crapton of weight!!
Here's what I'm kinda looking for:
- 18 to 25 year old ladies
- People who have struggled with BED
- People with anxiety and depression who are trying to lose weight
- People who like Magic the Gathering, reading, comics, and other nerdy things
- People with guinea pigs :)
- People trying to lose around 70 to 80 lbs.
- people who do blogilates or walking for exercise ( i am a newbie at blogilates)
- People who exercise with Fibro and RLS
obviously, you don't have to fit into these categories- we would just have something in common if you do! Comment below if you'd like me to add me- send me a request, message etc. looking forward to having some great motivating buddies!

    I don't know if you were looking for people that fall under ALL of these categories, but I'm 32, I Love MTG (although I'm super into hearthstone right now with my magic collection collecting dust) and so many more "nerdy" things. I have pretty bad anxiety. I needed to lose about 20 pounds before I got pregnant, but now that I had a baby 6 months ago, I need to lose about 50 pounds. My short term goal is to lose around 25 to get back to my old weight. I like to jump rope since it works out everything in your body and counts as cardio as well, and I brisk was at least 3 times a week for an hour. I read some where that if you want to maintain your weight, you should work out 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week. I read if you want to lose weight, make it 5 days of moderate exercise for at least 55 minutes a day.
    I used to have 3 guinea pigs, but I decided I liked sleep more. Those suckers made Too much noise at night! Lol
    Also, I have no clue what blogilates is, but when I needed to lose weight a While back, I went to the gym and took a beginner yoga class and also did circuit training and cardio 5x a week and lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks. It was awesome. I'd do that now if I didn't have a baby, but I will make it work at home!
    Anyway, if you'd like to add me, go ahead. I think we could all use motivational buddies.
