Motivate Me

Options
Hello All,

I'm new here! Just logged on for the first time about 15 minutes ago, and I'm already liking what I see. I am 34yrs old, 5'10 and apparently I'm 237lbs. I would love to get down to about 180lbs so that's what 57lbs, that's doable, right?

I want to be healthy, I want to feel even better about myself, and I want to look GREAT... :wink: I'm not completely unmotivated but sometimes I could use that little push.

Starting sometime in April I will be starting my 4 season of playing soccer and how great would it be if I could lose some weigh and run faster and have more stamina?

I'm looking for some weight lose friends to help me on my way. Any takers??? Not only can I be a great cheerleader, I'm very optimistic, a good listener, a great advice giver and I'm pretty funny too.

Hope to hear from you all soon! Looking forward to some great work outs and great fun!

    Hello,

    Looks like you came to the right place. The good thing is you are already active!!!! For me that's the hard part. You will find this place is addictive. It's full of support, great info and plenty of good old laughs. I love it!

    Please feel free to add me as a friend. I'm on a doable journey of 50+/- lbs myself, and I could definitely use an optimistic, wise funny cheerleader. I'll be here for you too. :flowerforyou:

    Feel free to add me, I'm 33, 5'9, currently 189 (i've been stuck here for almost a year now, but on the flip side I didn't gain 10 lbs in the last year like I did the year before...) I'm shooting for 150!!!

    Hi! Reading all your posts is a great inspiration. I began my weight loss journey in January 2011; I lost 69 pounds, and now I have gained about 5 pounds back. So, I am hitting the pavement to lose that 5 pounds plus about 30 more. Please add me, and help me with the struggle. It always helps to hear other people's stories.:blushing:

    Hello! I saw your post and had to reply...our goals are so similar. I am 5'7", 240 and my goal is also 180. I just started this site today and am happy with everything I've come across so far. Motivation and support are what I need most since I usually am able to lose the weight, but sticking with it is my struggle. I'd be happy if you want to add me and we can try it together! I really could use some motivation!
