2017 Adopt a Noob Discussion

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!

I would like to be adopted!! I need someone to help keep me accountable!!

Someone want to adopt me?

32, mom, discovered the joy of gyming it recently. Can't eat right. I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!! And pretty much everything else I'm not supposed to eat. I would love someone who can motivate me and who I can motivate. A buddy! That's what I need. A buddy.

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!

My mentor-bio, which talks about my wheelchair use, should still be around here somewhere. Take a look at it and let me know if you believe that we'd click!

I'm a 26 year old who needs to be adopted. I've been heavy my whole life but now it's starting to affect my health. I know it's time for a change but I don't know where to start.

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.

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.

I'd love to be adopted! I am doing the ketogenic diet for about a month now.

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.
