    I'm Amanda, 5'8 167 pounds. I just had a son, and during the process I gained a lot of weight. I want to get rid of it (and then some) Right now what I realy want is to be able to at least complete the insanity workout!

    Insanity looks well..insane!! And that being said, I totally want to do it. I have to build up my stamina a bit first. but it's only my to-do list. :)

    Hi! I'm a 34 year old mommy of 2. In 2014 I was diagnosed with supra ventricular tachardia and preventricular contractions. Because of this I was put on a beta blocker. The medication caused me to gain 40 pounds that I need to get rid of. I'm now on a calcium channel blocker that may help me to lose the weight that I gained on the other meds. So far I've only been able to maintain my weight not lose anything.
    Looking for lots of support and motivation because the scale doesn't move quickly for me. I used MFP after both my kids and had lots of success.

    I know with those meds it makes your heart maintain a lower rate, which is way it may be hard to burn to calories. Do you do weight training? I think it will help a lot :) The more muscle you gain, the more fat your body will burn at rest.

    Weight training all the way! Cardio just makes me tired and doesn't really increase my heart rate.

    Hello everyone. I'm kinda late get to the party, did a social media fast to support some friends. I'm James but most call me Mack. I'm 6'3" and as of today 225! Down 10 pounds so far as needing 10 more to reach my goal. I've mostly been doing MFP on my own, hasn't been the best route. Since I've reached out and added friends it's really helped me. I'm more accountable now and seeing others success is pushing me to my goal! Liking and commenting on my friends I hope is helping them as well. Looking forward to a lot of success in the group this year!

    Hello all, I'm Cimia. I'm 24 and a college student. I juat finished my degree in ece, and am now working on my degree in psychology. I used to use mfp, and lost a decent bit of weight. Now my goal is to gain muscle. I just lack the motivation to work out all the time, but I'm working on it.
