in Introduce Yourself
How do kiddos? Still fighting the good flab fight? Good work! Here have a biscu...carrot stick!

You may be new here or a veteran pound slayer either way I'd be glad to have you join my sleuth, I need fellow bears and bearettes to help me channel the power of the grizzly and fur..ther our progress together!

I've lost my first 14lbs in 4 weeks by dieting and hitting my homemade garage gym 2-3 evenings a weeks, Averaging an hour doing 6mph on the treadmill and some weights and punchbagging. I'm losing my bear juice now and need some support to keep on keeping on before I fade back into old habits. Open to advice that is applicable and just hoping to find some support and friendlies.

I am 6ft and 21st 1lbs after losing my 14 this past month and I want to lose as much as possible before my 30th birthday on June 8th. I've opted for a low fat, high protein diet with minimal carbs as it seems to keep me full and not craving things but I do need to watch my sugar and salt more.

I'm finding Bare Naked Foods Noodles and Rice to be a real hunger buster :)

Bear power to you all! And yes I am aware of the sub context of my nickname, and no I am not of such persuasions ;) Sorry grizzlies!

    Clever post. I just don't understand the references to bears, grizzlies, bear power, juice, etc. I feel like I'm missing something ...

    Nothing really clever to understand, Bear is my power animal and nickname, I'm a bit of a creative soul so tried to be humorous in my post. Evidentially I failed... Oh well!

    No - it was humorous - clever, even. You didn't fail. I just didn't know the backstory. Thanks for explaining. How is it that you determined the bear is your power animal?

    Hey Allison, I'm glad I didn't fail, that would have been un...wait for it...bear..able! :D *Pats self on the back.

    I was given the nickname by my friends over the years for apparently reminding them of Baloo from jungle book :) I used to want to be a Lion or a Wolf, but I saw the merit in being a Bear. :)>

    Any and all bears are welcome to my friends list ^_^ lol. Don't let my ticker fool you, I've been on here over 1000 days, just took breaks along the way.

    Mfp is similar to that of a forest, there's lots of danger and chances to step in a bear trap lurking behind every forum post. But the scenery is nice.

    Also happy really early birthday!

    Oh who am I kidding, I love the furry little fellas even if they do pinch me nuts!

    Thanks for the birthday wish and don't worry theres no judgement from this bear (unless you are one of them squirrels)

    You've got this! You just need to run your bear around the forest a few more times. Fish is good too.

    I grew up in a remote, forested area, where it wasn't unusual to go for a walk and meet bears or moose on the road. So love the name.

    Feel free to add me.

    I'd love to be MFP friends! I don't have an animal that inspires me, but I do love Korra from Legend of Korra. Hence the profile pic. She's a big inspiration for me getting in shape! I love kickboxing as a workout, and maybe in a few months once I'm settled in a new routine, I'll be able to finally do that again.

    I see your lack of love for squirrels and raise you one "aww" invoking picture of two adorable squirrels. ls9vkrsvl7ao.jpg

    Hey,

    I'm 29, let myself enjoy life far too much over the past 2 years and now need to get back into serious shape. I've done p90x before, and currently like weight lifting in the morning (or whenever) play hockey and beach volleyball (indoors, I'm in Canada) and try and easy healthy. I'd really like the accountability too.

    Please add me if you like,

    Mike

    Did someone say carrot cookies? Is that like carrot cake? Also. . . how come your totem animal is a bear and mine is a turtle? Not that there's anything wrong with turtles. . .
