Hi I'm Sandy.

Im 22 and living in South Florida. I don't have many friends on here & would like to interact more with MFP's online community. All my current friends are not really fitness oriented & would like to meet people here that are! As I am.

I am no where near my goal but better off than where I was when I first begun my fitness journey. I was at 250 now I am sitting at 206. Looking to eventually make me way to 180. That's my first weight goal.

I do weight-lift regularly and I am starting to run for 30 mins at least 4 times a week (goal is working my way up to 6). One of my goals I would like to tackle this year is to endeavor into the world of yoga. I have dipped me toes into meditation and I truly like it (I need to do it more often).

Anyone have similar goals? Tips? Advice? Please feel free to message me.

my fitbit profile can be found at https://fitbit.com/user/3653DT

I hope I meet cool peeps!

    Hey. i'm 24 & I am looking to lose around the same amount as you. Im sitting at 241 and my first goal is 180. I am working out daily now, 30 mins of cardio & 30 mins of weights. I'm looking for someone to talk with and interact with who is on the same journey. - dont have a fitbit yet, but planning on grabbing one next paycheck!

    Hi. I started around 250 (hoping to get to between 160 and 170) too & lost about 40lbs before gaining some back. I'm on the right track again now, though. I friended you. I generally get between 12k and 15k steps a day but have been looking to do 20k recently and would like more active friends to motivate me.

    Hey Rachellove, that's good that you are running daily. I need to start! I will probably message you for some tips.

    Hi! I sent you a friend request. I'm hoping to lose 40lbs by the summer. I'm not a runner and don't like to run much, but I really want to do a 5k and I need to start running. Hopefully as the weight starts coming off more, it will get easier. Good luck and let's motivate each other :smile:

    Adding you! Right now I use fitbit and a 10k running app, but I also swim and train for triathlons and other events in the summer.

    Anyone can add me if they want! My Fitbit is www.fitbit.com/user/36WZ67

    Hello! I have been using both apps on & off now for about 2 years. I've been trying to get my friends to join but most of them give me excuses. I am looking for motivation and tips for a healthier life style. I saw this post and I'd like to be added as well.
