in Introduce Yourself
Hi !!!!!!

I joined this a while ago but never actually got into my fitness goals until now. I've lost 5 lbs since last week. I've been hiting the gym anywhere from 3-5 times a week and really watching my calorie/fat/sugar intake. Would like to meet people to bounce ideas off of and to talk about fitness tips with. I find most of the people in my life are not really health concious or really could give two sh*ts ( can i curse here) lol about what i am or am not eating and so i end up looking like a fanatic whenever I am offered cake and I turn it down or a beer etc. LOL Lord. I need motivation.

I am 27 yeard old. Latina. From Brooklyn New York. 5'4 started off at 250. I am now 244.6. I weigh in every Sunday.

I am really enjoying reading the posts on here, they really serve as amazing motivation.

I look forward to meeting you guys.

    Hey I would love some support and friends on here too!! I downloaded this app a while ago, and just last week started to actually use it! I am 27, 5'3 and weigh i think about 220. I started at 236 2 years ago, and I have lost 16 lbs and kept it off. I wanna get down to 150 and have been tracking but not really working out. I go to school 30 hours a week and work 25....need to find time. I also need to buy a scale, but am very very strapped for cash....I guess I could measure myself....hmmm anyway i would love a support system!!!

    Hello All, I'm a newbie on the block as well and really need the extra push to help me out... I weigh at 210 and am 5' 3.5'' tall... I'm 26 with an active and bubbly 3 year old son... My excuse was always I just had a baby, but he is grown at 3 going on 23 and I cant hide behind that fact anymore :( ....... Help.. I'm all ears... Thanks in advance! Congrats on all weight losses, I would love to lose anywhere from 35 to 50 lbs, and maintain it in addition to living a more healthier lifestyle.

    I'm new to the site too. I've lost 4 lbs so far. I'm 5'11, started at 206. Wanted to get down to 160. Would like some friends that have similar goals too. Most of my friends are doing weight watchers so I'm going at this on fitness pal by myself. I'm a 34 year old married momma of 2. My aim is to work out 4-5 times per week. I'm also an emotional binger who is in recovery. Add me if you share similar goals.

    Welcome!! I definitely find that it helps to have friends on here to have for support and encouragement as well as to stay accountable to (you can share your food diary and friends get updates on any exercise you do, etc) :) I'm new as well, only been on for a week - lost 3 lbs in that first week! I don't think that's a fluke...

    Congrats to you on your first 5, well done! Just be sure to keep it up! Feel free to add me.
