Hello,
I'm dabratt92 I am new to this site. I have about 75 lbs to loose and just feel like having someone other than the critters to talk to. (ha ha). I'm in New Mexico, own an Accounting Firm. So I'm very sedentary.0 -

Hello everyone! My name is Michele and I just joined MFP today - so any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated! So about me.... I am 35 years old and have a fabulous 12 year old daughter. I am getting married on January 7, 2012 (39 days - but who is counting right??). I am looking to lose about 100 pounds - I really want to be healthy! I was doing really well watching my eating and working out until about 3 months ago when I injured my foot pretty seriously - with my injury my motivation went out the window! But my foot is getting better (out of a boot yesterday but not cleared for serious workouts yet). So, I am excited and can't wait to get started!!! thanks!0

Hello, I'm Dee. I'm a 27 year old step-mom; recently married. (October 2nd 2011) I working in Accounting for a Government contractor in the Northern Virginia area. Work has been very stressful lately and I feel like it's a bit reason as to the weight gain. I'm just not motivated.
I enjoy shopping; who doesn't; spending time outdoors (in the fall, bad allergies), spending time with family & friends.
I'm going to get my butt back in gear and get myself back to my happy weight!!! I only need to lose 20 pounds or so!

welcome michele and dee! Both newly or soon to be newlyweds, how exciting.
Dee: anytime I get stressed out I lose my motivation as well. Which sucks because life is stressful in general. I also enjoy the outdoors, but suffer bad allergies. This last Saturday I went hiking all day and had to use my inhaler (I never do) just because of allergies. So worth it sometimes, it was a gorgeous view at the top. Hope you find the support and motivation here that you need.
Michele: grats on joining MFP, this was my first group and my absolute favorite! I have a teen daughter, they can interesting (not to mention that I taught 8th grade up till a month ago when I moved, so I know the age range). Very exciting about your upcoming nuptials. Any injury can suck the motivation right out the door, after all you can't do what you need to do anyhow. Hope it fully heals and you get to be the active and motivated person that you want to be.0 -

Hey Michele.. Welcome to the club! :flowerforyou:
Good to hear that your foot is getting better now..
well always remember that our body is made up of 70% of the diet and 30% of workout. so even if you are not able to workout much dont worry about it.. just try to control your diet .. eat healthy and be happy till the time you can start regular workouts.
I have undergone a Key hple surgery in my left knee and I cant workout for next 5-6 weeks at all.. I am just trying to control my diet .. I cant wait to workout again once my knee is back in action.
Dont worry .. start putting the efforts from today... and you will soon feel the difference in your body and your lifestyle.
Feel happy and Feel beautiful..everything else will fall at the right place..Congrats for getting married!0 -

Hi everyone. I joined MFP only 1 day ago and I have a very long journey ahead of me. My long-term goal is to lose 95 lbs which is quite overwhelming! I am glad there is a weekly goal group, which will help me stay focused as we support each other. My real life name is Marg, I am retired and lead a life of inactivity (reading, quilting, watching TV (esp movies) & short walks with my dog.
My first week's goals are to walk further each day and drink 8 glasses of water daily.0 -
welcome Mardill, great goals. Check in as often or as seldom as you like, we post our goals in the weekly goal topic in our group. Personally, if I don't do a daily check in, I don't feel as accountable. But then again, I've issues, lol0

Hi
I just joined this group yestersday. My name is Sherri (Lost_it) & I want to lose 15 to 20 lbs in the next 2 months. I find setting smaller shorter goals works for me. I seem to be more motivated to reach them. I will start my weekly challenges starting on Sunday Jan 1/2012.
Looking forward to the daily check in to see how everyone is doing0 -
Welcome Sherri (aka Lost_it). Glad you found the group and have decided to join us while working toward your ultimate goal. Jump on the mini goal weekly thread when your ready, pick a couple things to work on, and your on your way! It's a great group, very supportive, and lots of fun :happy:0

Hi, I'm Vivienne (vivycwen) from Malaysia. I heard about this group from Lost_It.
I would like to lose about 13 kg (32.5 lbs), at least to get back in shape. I've been seen as a huge Chinese girl and I really have to shed all these weight off.0 -

On a side note... I was in Malaysia back in 2008, my company has an office there and I got to go for two weeks to help train. I had a great time, but man oh man was it HOT!!!!0 -
Hello, my name is Olivia.
I'm dealing with some longterm health challenges. Recently things flared up and just about everything in my general day to day routine fell apart so health/fitness/weight got completely lost in the wayside. I'm working on slowly easing myself back into everything, because the last few times I tried to jump right in and play catch up I only set myself back further than I'd been before.
I think setting small weekly step-by-step goals is just what I need.0 -
