in Motivation and Support
Hi there.

22 year old female at 31.3% BMI which is slightly over the obese range. 40 lb weight loss goal!


Needing a mentor to keep me exercise accountable and give exercise suggestions. Love weight training, HATE CARDIO WITH A PASSION. I'm starting to take up swimming as a cardio option. Also going to begin sprint training soon. I love to sprint (I'm fast and was in track) but hate to jog/endurance/run.

I'm trying to cook all meals at home as we have bad habits of spending money and eating out. So recipes ideas are great! ( psst. we are having one cheat meal a week though)

I'd like to find a mentor near my age or someone very knowledgeable about low carb and alternative cardio options.

I look forward to meeting a mentor!

I would prefer someone who actively uses MFP and is easy to reach. Texting would even be appreciated!

Or if anyone just wants accountability/goals partner for additional support, I'd love to make friends and be that for you! WARNING: Should we text, I send a LOT of gifs. lol

My name is Kerri btw

    Hi Kerri, I'm sending a friend request now.

    I'm pretty consistent with my logging (diary open to friends. Not perfect but it's real.) I'm into low impact cardio and haven't done any weight training so maybe we can mutually benefit from each other's knowledge.

    You're absolutely right...let me rephrase..... I HATE jogging/endurance running lol. I've taken up swimming, playing soccer, sprinting, and am looking into rollerskating as cardio

    I'm just the opposite. I love cardio but the only weight training workout I have found I like is Body Pump. Added two classes a week last month.
