I am volunteering to be a mentor. I'm 54, a stroke survivor and have been living a healthier lifestyle since January, 2016. I began my journey at 260 pounds, as of Tuesday, June 6, 2017 I weigh 185.4. My health has improved drastically. I'd love to help others realize that nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!2

Would love to be adopted. Here's my bio:
I'm 28 and living in Canada for grad school, but am from the states. I'm 5'4 and 245 pounds. I've been up and down with weight loss before, but wasn't mentally in a place to stick with it until now. I'm looking for someone in my age range either younger or older, who can keep contact with me for check ins, advice, or even just to talk about the day. Someone who is lively and fun! Oh and I am in a wheelchair, but not wheelchair bound but I do suffer from a muscle disorder so working out is different for me. So I'd prefer someone who has experience either dealing with disabled individuals or is one themself. Thanks!0 -

Hi, my name is Michelle....I'm new here and would like to be adopted and make some new friends.
I recently turned 50 (I still can't believe I'm 50) and have been on a journey to regain my former self. I want the second half of my life to be one where I am fit and lean.
My goal is to lose about 30-35 pounds
I had lost 15 pounds last year, but have managed to regain it much to my dismay.
I have started exercising (Peloton and am contemplating restarting P90X3) but am having trouble with macros and consistency. I would really like a mentor to encourage and help with food diary, and give advice0 -

I would appreciate being adopted by a mentor. I'm 63 with diabetes so exercising is a must for me. I like a challenge so I'm up for something new. I was in a gym for 22yrs. until I was 42yrs. old. I let myself go because I thought it was that old thing to do. I was into bodybuilding and heavy weight lifting. When I started on my journey to losing weight I was 340lbs. I'm now at 270lbs. My goal is to get back to 225lbs I've add running into my workout. The belly fat is my biggest problem I know that it took me 20yrs. to get here. I have lost most of any fat off legs and arms. I've made many changes in my diet and I think that where I need the help.0

I would like to be adopted!
My name is Nicole. I'm returning to MFP after irregular use over the last 3 years. In 2014, I lost 23lbs and was able to maintain it for 6 months. But then I fell in love and let go.
Fast forward to today, I've gained ~40lbs and I've started and quit so many times that I'm getting frustrated with myself. I joined a 100-day walking challenge at work to help motivate me, but that's just a small starting point.
My nutrition has come a long way, but it still has tons of room for improvement. I can typically stick to meal plans during the week; however, I tend to fall off on the weekends. Not to say that a "cheat" day is bad for me (and I define "cheat" by having X amount of extra calories than I normally would), but I make it a cheat weekend.
I am looking for somebody who will be able to hold me accountable with losing (and then maintaining) the weight and help me with with meal suggestions. I am a vegetarian (and my husband is not), so I am often eating my own meals. I am somewhat picky (I've come a long way), so I have a hard time finding recipes that are quick and appealing to me.
Thanks!

I would love a mentor! I am 19 from MA and have a history of anorexia. Following recovery I kept gaining weight until I became very overweight. I am trying to learn to eat normally while losing 50 pounds I gained from binge eating in the next year. I need help with easy meals that are more putting things together than cooking because I deal with depression and have little energy. I am vegetarian but I eat fish. I have trouble knowing how much is "undereating" versus how much is a good amount for weight loss and making filling meals that are low calorie. I want to be strong and lift weights but don't know where to start.2

Looking for a mentor to help with some fitness and possibly nutrition in a couple of months time (If I try and focus on everything at once I am setting myself up to fall on my butt)
I am 47 with an under active thyroid, lactose intolerance and spinal arthritis. I could do with losing around 160 pounds in total and have lost 14 pound since 1st May this year so a pretty good start
My aims are to increase my fitness and strength, since the second week of June I walk 30 mins briskly each lunch time so I can get out of the office (and have extra cals for Gin) I also go to the gym on Sat morning for an hour of cardio and 30 mins of lifting (5 kg for bicep curl, 20kg for rowing, 6.25 kg for tricep pull down and 10 kg for the pushy thing that absolutely kills and I can only do 40 reps on)
I want to do more lifting to keep my bones strong and need to fit in a little yoga or Pilates for flexibility but it is the lifting I need more help around
My nutrition is pants and I am ignoring it in the short term but if you spot any easy fixes that don't involve giving up Gin happy to make the changes now0 -
I'd love to be adopted! I am doing the ketogenic diet for about a month now.0

The names Jacob, and I'm back with a thirst and hunger greater than I've ever had before. I started excersising back in 2011 as an obese, 110kg, twenty year old, who used to get teased and picked on in high school and later on in work. I started my journey ironically after falling through a ceiling at work.......
This would be the biggest turning point in my life. I started off walking, in which i lost 2 kgs in one week!!! Not only did this assure me that I had begun my journey to a happier healthier me, it also steered my eating habits into a whole other direction. I chose healthier options, smaller meal portions, and finally gave up my obsession with high sugar energy drinks. In the following weeks I continued to walk, which eventually turned into short sprints, losing a further 14 kgs in 8 weeks.
I then started the next chapter, weight training..... At the time it was very daunting but I knew in order to reach my goals I would have to overcome my fear of exerting my self infront of others and just do it!! (no nike endorsements here). Over time I watched videos, learnt from people around me and continually grew my arsenal of knowledge in which I would need to crush my goals. A further 20 weeks down the track I did it, I reached 79.5 kgs. I never felt happier, stronger or more confident in my life.
After my goal I did slack, work picked up and I slowly stopped going to the gym I would get into little fitness blocks of about 2 months then fade off again as work picked up.
Now, 2017, i have set my self my next big goal. I applied and have succesfully been accepted in to the Australian Army. For the last month I have been training (weights and cardiovascular) and have lost a total of 6 kgs. My start weight was 94. so currently sitting arouund 88 kgs. Im doing a far bit of weight training but am also heavily focused on cardio and endurance training as of course this will be a major obstacle in joining the armed forces.
So follow my journey for the next couple months as i continue to fullfil my dream, getting stronger, faster, fitter and healthier again.
I will post weekly, for anyone whom wish's to follow along, but ideally for my self to keep my self accountable.
Happy Training Fitfam.
