Looking for some friends to share our weight loss journeys!

mollylynn89 · May 2016

Just started again after almost 2 years and I'm ready to do it right this time. I would love to make some friends who can share their journeys with me. Let's motivate each other and get healthy!

Hi! I'm in. I'm so frustrated with thinking every day about how I need to lose weight and how tomorrow is going to be different. MFP is the only thing that has ever worked for me in the past and I loved being accountable to strangers.

I'm in! In June last year I started the program, and lost 40 pounds...then Christmas came...and well...I have found 20 of those pounds. So I am back at it. Nothing crazy or exhausting, logging and weighing my food, and trying to ensure i get 10k steps a day. I travel for work, eating at airports and hotels more than I would like...but excuses won't help me. Gotta stay on plan.

Count me in! I too was here about a year ago and ready to start again.

Sounds great guys! I'm all in. I have some exciting goals this summer and need to lose approx 15lbs more. I plan on carb cycling. Depending on my workout load. Will most likely aim for 2 days low carb, subbing to high fat and protein, followed by 1 day high carb with lower fat etc. So far it's been workout out pretty good and am down 5 lbs with enough energy to keep my training schedule on point. What workout programs are you currently following?

Awesome! Maybe I can learn some things from you. I just started a little over a week ago on the Venus Factor it's a diet plan with workouts 12 weeks but if I don't reach my goal by then I will continue

DennisA70 · May 2016

I too am back after two years to lose 40lbs again. I gained them all back when I wasn't using MFP and reaching out to the community. I found out that by not having friends on here I was missing out on great motivation and inspiration.

missykay5 · May 2016

I'm in! Need extra motivation

living48 · May 2016

I'm certainly in. I just got the internal motivation to do something (again). I am on a good start and hope to finish a 12 week program and beyond. I seem to lose weight but gain it back. I need to find the "thing" that will stop me from regaining. The myfitnesspal app is great so far, I am logging my meals and exercise and I am confident that in a matter of time I will reach my goals. My healthy eating plan was suggested by my doctor which is Mediterranean. Basically lots of vegetables and fruits, more fish than red meat, limiting my salt by substituting with spices, and cooking with olive oil. I am making sure that I get in 30 minutes of exercise daily. Additionally, I am drinking more water and have sworn off sodas as they only cause bloat and increase my appetite. Looking forward to reading everyone's post. Good Health to you!

Luckee_me · May 2016

Hi everyone,
Been at this awhile, but had a big slip up and just getting started again. Please feel free to add me.

Ahzlandia · May 2016

Hoping 4th time will be the charm. Have always lost weight when staying with the plan, but seem to regain within a year, plus extra. This is my first time to post.....and look forward to a support group this time.

mollylynn89 · May 2016

We are in this together it can be so hard. Let's make this our last time!

njtorres92 · May 2016

Well its about the diet to be honest. I lifted weights for about a year but I never really seen much results I mean I was getting big but I've I always wanted a Thor or wolverine body. But now I have a been on a diet for four months sometimes it sucks lol not going to lie but it worth it at the end of the day when I get out the gym and look at myself I feel content

Will2029 · May 2016

I'm in guys, just started back, planning a surfing trip before October and really want to be in good shape to hang with nature.

Add me in molly!!!

I'll post my progress and leave my diary opened for anyone who wants to check it out.
Pics will come later, after the first month. LOL.

I read that for dieting a good idea would be go for 90% of BMR at 40%, 40%, 20% (Protein, carbs,fats)

Anyone second this???

I am putting together my fitness plan for the first 12 weeks!!

Let's do this!!

marchellaz · May 2016

Add me. Need more active friends! Hoping for some with open food diaries! Thanks

Hi Molly, count me in! I've been so frustrated with my weight loss journey. I feel like I lose the weight and I work so hard and then I put it all back on again. It happens every time. I've done it about 4 times and I need to figure out a way to keep it off for good. I recently lost 10kgs again for my wedding and I have already put it all back on after my wedding. I hope we can help motivate each other

racergirl1991 · May 2016

Count me in! Lost 30lbs 3 years ago and found it all again.

Please add me as well. I started using MFP and Garmin Connect last November. To date I lost 67 pounds, and close to my goal. It's not easy, but my journey is one step at a time...
