    Good morning from Illinois!! I joined MFP to loose the last 10lbs of my weight loss journey. I'm turning 40 this September. After 3kids i will finally get back to pre-pregnancy weight that i've held onto since 1998!:smooched:

    Hello candykay! :happy:

    I will send a request. I'm kinda hardcore about MFP :happy: I only say "kinda" because there will be days that I won't log in (this is rather rare), but mostly I'm 95%. I workout almost every day and I'm on this site daily via phone or computer. I'm totally obsessed. I am going on vacation in 2 months so that is my short term goal. My long term is to get as healthy and in shape as possible before we start trying for a family. I also am serious about having a healthy lifestyle for me, forever.

    I'm 31 years old and my goal weight is to lose 6-10 pounds, but more importantly to be a lean machine and be tough. I want muscles and be able to do cool activities. :blushing:

    I also really like to utilize the homepage and see what others are doing and be encouraging. :happy:

    Okay, that's my sales pitch! Let's be friends! :laugh: :laugh:

    Welcome back! I have logged on every day since I joined (I think I am close to 300 days in a row), and I workout just about every day. I have about 5-6 pounds left to lose, but it has been a real struggle to get these last pounds off. I've recommitted myself to really sticking to my meal plan this year, and lose the weight by April 1. Feel free to send me a friend request.

    We have similar goals, I'm 26 looking to lose about the same. I'm not very active in the message boards and what not, but I will be on here at least once a day.

    Today is my first day here I have always been in shape until 2 years ago I crashed at my local YMCA and was rushed to the ER. I tought I was going to die. Seriously. Over the course of two years I gained weight and I feel really bad about the way I look; SO I said to myself don't be afraid and head out and excercise, I joined today and I feel great about being your buddy. I want to have a consistency of friends that we can watch our progress. I don't really know what or how to eat. If any of you want to share recepies would be great. I don't eat alot of meat, but I am not a vegeterian either. I love dairy foods, and love vegetables, hate fruit, I don't know why I dislike fruit. Anyway--I hope I get to be in the line with you and your friends.

    I'll friend you..:) I'm 46 and looking to lose 20 lbs. I signed up with MFP about a year ago, but never did anything with it because I was in a real life competition and won 2nd place losing 20 lbs total. BUT, I've put 10 lbs back on over the past 6 months because I haven't been careful about what I eat. I'm a hard core dieter when I get in a program and will be logging every day. I like a push, so am looking for friends who will be logging daily and holding their friends accountable to do the same! ANYONE ON THIS THREAD FEEL FREE TO FRIEND ME if your serious about the plan!

    well I really just kinda wing it. I have a work out video that is very similar to p90x(which i have done in past) I also run up and down my stairs at home A LOT! and currently i am challenging myself with different work outs each day, such as yesterday i did 50 lunges today it is 50 chair dips.

    Sounds like you are making a great start Candykay!!! I'll friend you too....I can def use the accountability myself. I have been yoyo dieting for years and have reached a point where I need to make this my new lifestyle and not a diet. Diets don't work!!!! I work out 4 mornings a week at a Bootcamp class and usually go with my fiance to the gym once or twice a week for a cardio workout too. You sound like you are making the most of your homelife and doing good things (stair climbing is great for the butt!!). Keep up the good work and I'll send you the request!
