2017 Adopt a Noob Discussion

Looking to adopt

My name is Heidi I am 36 and live in North Carolina USA

I am 5'7" and fairly muscular
I am currently at 250 lbs making my way to 175

I have a heart of a Dancer/athlete in an "invisibly disabled" body.

I am committed to logging every bite every day, and to doing some type of physical activity every day.

I enjoy strength training 2-3 days a week.

I have a difficult struggle with my limitations,
But if you are also ready to focus on what you CAN do, Instead of what you CAN'T do I am the mentor for you.

I love to encourage/ tell inspirational stories etc.

My hobbies are insanely varied (because I am unable to work) From Baking/Sewing/Reading To car/home repair, crafts, and singing I do alot.

If interested- send me a request with a bit of info about yourself and let's do this!

Hi everyone. I have been an on and off member of MFP for a long time. My "on" time usually only lasted a week but I am now more motivated than I have ever been and I am looking for some help to lose some pounds!
I need to lose 4 stone and would like someone to adopt me!
I am 34 and a typical couch potato, however I am becoming more active (slowly) and improving my eating. Having just finished my first week of diet, I have lost 3lbs.
I live in the Uk and work full time office hours!

Adopt me please!
I'm 21, something bad happened, and want control of my body again. I'm finally at a good headspace where I understand how to recognize resistance, know that positivity is key, and realize I can only control certain things...so I should control them! My body image is one of them. I have some awful scars that make me self-conscious, but I can't control them-only my weight/fitness. So I must do it!! And I will do it because I'm a badass. (Who isn't too proud for a little mentor help

34 yo looking for a mentor. I could use motivation and advice both. I am also trying to quit smoking at the same time. I'd prefer someone around my age but anyone who can relate is welcomed. :-) I am very motivated and want to take a well-rounded, comprehensive approach that is sustainable and long-term healthy habits/diet. I am also on Fitbit if someone wants to connect with me there. Also anypne who wants to friend me!

I need a project - so I can mentor one or two. Been at maintenance for a long time after losing 75 pounds. I have great recipes and am very active.

I regretfully cancelled my old MFP account after I hit maintenance...it was Go_Mizzou99. Been on MFP for about 4 or 5 years now.

Hi, I am new and would like to be adopted. I am starting my weight loss journey and would greatly appreciate any help, motivation and or friends i could get. I am going to be eating keto friendly and it would be awesome if someone could assist and or give me ideas as far as meals, exercising, encouragement etc. Looking forward to success!

Thanks Justin741 for mentoring. Justin has his noobs and no longer has availability.

I'd be willing to mentor or help someone be accountable.

In 2011 I lost 111lbs however as of November 2015 I gained back 66lbs but I'm on my way back down and I've lost 13lbs and rolling.

I am 33 years old, married with three young kids and a follower of Jesus.

I've been super motivated lately and want to encourage and motivate others. I hardly use Facebook or Instagram because I consider MyFitnessPal my social network.

I feel like I can help others due to my past success, past mistakes, and current progress and motivation. Shoot me a friend request and/or PM if you're interested.

I need to be adopted!

I am 22 years old from Arizona. I currently have a desk job so the only exercise i get is at the gym.

Starting weight : 181.
Today's weigh in : 175.5
Goal Weight: 143

I am looking for someone to keep me motivated as i am in my transformation process.

I am currently on a diet of (Eggs, fruits, vegetables, rice, and beans) and i exercise 5 days a week. Monday thru Friday. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays are my lower body strength training and stair climber cardio. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my upper body strength training and running/eliptical cardio days.

Hi! I'm putting myself up for adoption.

I'm 18 years old, 5'4", and my current weight is 130lb.

I've been on and off MFP for a while. I recently got back on because I feel like I've been starting to slack off and have also had a 5lb weight gain over the last few months. My goal weight is 115lb. I am just starting to try to get back in shape by cleaning up my diet and trying to exercise when possible, 3-4 times a week. I think I could use someone who would help me with motivation and planning out my workouts. Thank you to whoever wants to adopt me!

I would love to be adopted! I'm new to this healthy lifestyle and am really struggling to lose the weight. I am 24 years old and put on 30 pounds about a year ago due to polycystic ovaries that cause hormonal imbalances. My condition makes it very hard for me to lose weight and I'd love some guidance! If there are any mentors out there who have hormonal issues or PCOS and have managed to get to their goal weight, please do reach out!
I am 24, female, 5"4, starting weight: 175 lbs, current weight: 160 lbs, goal weight: 140 lbs

Hello Team,

I would like to get adopted and really push my health objectives this time. If anybody wants to try a novel work out. Please feel free to reach out.

One thing I would like to focus on first are, upper body- chest workouts. I've got embarrassing moobs. Any one with prior experience will help.

Please adopt me. Will exercise for food.

I'm kinda weary about random friend requests, so I'm just going to put in a request to be mentored.

Relevant info:

38 years old, 5'11", 159 at last weigh-in earlier this week. Casual runner who has run one 5K but had to abandon plans for a second because of holes in my training plan, mostly strength training related. But I'm a bit of a hard one, I've already rejected three workout programs online (DailyBurn, Live Exercise, Fitness Blender) because I couldn't crosscheck trainers there to make sure they were certified. I realize that not all trainers who are certified are good, but it's still something I feel I can't compromise on.

I also need a healthier relationship with food because I could stand to put on a couple of healthy pounds but have a tendency to starve or overeat when feeling stressed, which is stunting that. It's not helping that I live with two parents who are both fat hogs (no other way to call it) who have a gift for trying to feed me too much.

I want to be able to get back into a routine and be able to stick with it so I can run a second 5K. Cheerleader, tough love type would be preferred.
