in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. Here in the frozen northern most parts of CANADA! Yay
I have been struggliung to lose weight for the last two years and today I have made up my mind that this is the end of the struggle. I am not letting my weight affect my life anymore. I am not letting it controle me and i am not letting food controle me anymore! I am in controle and I am getting RID of this extra weight! I am looking for some weightloss buddies to help keep my on track.
My goal is 1200 cal. diet and 20-30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week, and pilates 1-2 times a week.
I love leslie sansone, 1 and 2 mile walk, and Erin Huggins pilates. They are both great and I am already seeing good results.
Hope to hear from other Canucks.
Happy weightloss to all!

    Hi there! Im no Canuck but Im here in the frozen Northern parts of Montana so I know how you feel! Im new too and this website seems great so far. It looks like we have about the same goal and schedule. Im at a 1200 calorie diet and excercise 5 times per week. Im trying to lose around 10-15 lbs and its so happening! I know what you mean about being sick of this extra weight and it sucks. I think we all need someone to help keep us motivated and kick our butts a little so good luck to ya and keep in touch :) Happy weight loss!

    I am also new, i have the app on my phone and i am also on the 1200 calorie diet plan. I too am trying to do a lifestyle change, i have 4 kids ages 22 and down to 8years old. I am going to be 40 and i need a change. I recently quit smoking back in may after smoking for 25 years and i was already chunky but since quitting i gained yet another 20 lbs to make my medium frame at 5'3 a whooping 200 lbs. That is not very healthy at all. So i log everything i put into my mouth into my phone and i watch my calories. I share my stats on FB but my friends are not using the same app as i am and i do not have anyone to share with. other then my family of course . I understand the need for motivation and encouragement and i hope to be that for you as well as you for me. Good luck to all who are trying and those succeeding congrats. Thank you...Oh forgot to mention i am a Marine Wife and Stationed in Honolulu. Hawaii... Aloha everyone.
