in Motivation and Support
Hello, I was addicted to working out for about 6 months last year, then moving and stress got in the way and I've lost muscle and gained a lot of weight... looking to make some friends with similar paths to me.

I'm 5'4" and around 195-199lbs. I have about 60lbs to lose, and need to get myself motivated to go to the gym regularly. I've started, but this PF isn't as nice as the one I went to before, and the quality of some of the machines isn't great. Plus I haven't met enough of the workers/regulars there that they'll miss me if I don't show up, haha.

Just need some people to help keep me accountable, and to share motivation with.

I also live in Oklahoma (where I just moved), so anyone from there feel free to add me as well.

    Hey! You Just Have To Get Started Again.. Commit To A Week Of "No Matter What IM Going To The Gym" And At The End Of The Week You'll Be Ready To Attack Another Week.. Getting Started Is One Of The Hardest Parts. Log Nutrition Consistently Here On MFP As Well. You Already Know You Can Do It, You Said You've Done It Before, YOu Just Have To GEt Back In The Groove!

    I'm in a similar boat to you. Moved to a new city about a year ago and packed on a bunch of weight. Im 5'5 and about 195. I'd like to lose about 40lbs as well. Feel free to add me. Maybe we can motivate each other!

    I moved about a year ago following separation, and all the decent gyms aren't convenient so most of my exercise is home based at the moment, (plus running which I've just started). Aiming to lose about 65lbs in total. Feel free to add.

I moved from Northern California to San Diego a little over 3 years now and every month the scale keeps climbing!! It's so depressing isn't it?

    Hi everyone! Feel free to add me. I have 25 pounds to lose. I agree, It's a lot harder this time around for some reason! I've lost and gained so many times I can't keep track anymore. Being held accountable is what I need.. Always looking for new friends to help along the way that give back the same support!
