in Introduce Yourself
Good morning all,

I've been on and off of MFP for about 5 years now - LOVE it. Overall, I've lost about 30lbs and am back on here after a little break to lose about 10 more. In the past two years, I've started weight lifting and that has changed my life SO MUCH more than only cardio ever had. It's great! Looking to make a few friends, maybe women who are also into weight lifting? But open to all obviously :) It's more fun when you have a little encouragement along the way!

Thanks! :)
Jenna

    Feel free to add me.

    I'm the same on and off mfp over the last 4 years. Was going to do a bodybuilding comp earlier this year. But decided I just want to enjoy life. Need to lose the 10kg I've put on since Feb and feel good about myself again.

    Feel free to add me. I'm in maintenance but love the weight room (can't do normal lifting due to medical restrictions).

    Hey feel free to add me too! I'm 46 F, losing about 100 lbs. I'm starting with a mix of lifting and cardio, but lifting is where my heart is. I lost 95 lbs about 7 years ago, and fell in love with weights. It gives us ladies such a terrific feeling of confidence! I also love the progression you can see, and how fast it happens. Anyway, I would love a lifting buddy :smiley:

    Hey you can add me :) I am in the middle of my weight loss with about 30 lbs to go, but I've been lifting since the beginning. I started out small and have increased strength, but I wouldn't go as far to say I lift 'heavy,' heh, but I look forward to doing that in maintenance.

    Yes yes yes! Once I got over thinking that you had to be a grand-slam weight lifter to lift and enjoy it, I started doing it so much more frequently. There is nothing like blasting really powerful music in your headphones and feeling like you could move a truck (even if they're only 10lb weights-- feels like Superwoman to me!)
