in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone!

My name is Whitney and I just started my journey towards fitness, weight loss and general kickassery on January 20th and I'd love to have even more supportive and motivating friends...just like you! The people I've met so far on MFP are such a source of inspiration to me, and make staying focused hella easier. It really is true; there is strength in numbers.

If you're considering adding me as a friend, here's a few things you may want to know:

1. WIW - every Wednesday, I post a status update on my timeline with my weekly weigh in and encourage my pals to reply with a comment on that status with their info. That way, there's one consolidated spot where we can check in with each other's progress and cheer each other on!

2. NSV Sunday - And because the scale can sometimes be a fickle little b*tch, I also post a status on Sunday's where we can all share a weekly NSV. No matter how big or small the victory, it's a nice reminder to enjoy the journey and to focus on the real reasons we're doing this...quality of life!

If you want to know more about me:

I'm 5'2
SW: 223.4
CW: 216.2
GW: 125ish

I lift 5 days per week, using dumbells at home. That's the only exercise I'm currently doing.
I'm pretty transparent, because bad days happen and that's ok.
I'm ridiculous, but I mean well.

    I'd love to have you as a friend. Feel free to add me. I was on here once before and lost 40 pounds. Life happened along with many stressful events and I gained it all back and then some. I weigh on Thursday-just seems to be a good day for me. Love to help encourage you on your journey.

    I feel ya on the "maybe". It's been so long since I was at a healthy weight that I don't know what I'll love looking and feeling like until I actually get there.

    Hi Whitney,

    I've been on here since May last year and active every day. So far I am down from 125KG (275Ibs) to 95KG (210Ibs). I cycle nut so most of my workouts are cardio based. I'm hopefully going to mix up some lifting in the coming months.

    Always interested in adding interesting people who are committed to their journey

    I workout at home with the 21 Day fix workout dvd's which include weights and cardio 5X a week. I work full time and have a sedentary job so activity is often hard to squeeze in.

    Everyone can add me. I lift weights with my hubby every morning, I call him the workout nazi. I'm not really losing weight but I have lost inches which is more important to me. My legs and arms are starting to show some muscle too

    I would love some interactive friends! I have been on and off MFP for several years. The first time I lost 75lb. Life got crazy and stress took over, I gained that all back and then some. I am back and ready to take control of my life and this time no matter what life throws at me I WILL do this and maintain.

    You can add me too. I love that you have status updates. I am currently trying to gain muscle and stay in shape.
    I'm 5'9"
    26 years old
    150 pounds
    My goal is to be able to bench press my own weight by the end of this year. I'm currently at 120 pounds but I keep gaining weight by either being lazy or un motivated to go to lift or do cardio. I would love you have you on my friend list if you'll have me ^_^

    I (re)started 170 days ago at 165ish pounds. As of this morning, I'm down to 149.8. I like the idea of status updates, both weight and NSV. In December I starting lifting 3 times per week and walk daily, as my dog demands it. Feel free to add me.

    Hey!

    We've got similar stats...

    CW: 216
    GW: I don't know....back in the day when I was like a size 3-5 I weighed like 145-150. I thought I was too small then....ideal size would be 7/8. So wherever that happens I'll be happy there (lol I think...maybe push for a 6)! In the short term though I just want to see onederland.

    Add me!
