Any SoCal peeps want to help motivate me?

in Introduce Yourself
Hello! Moved from Phoenix to Oceanside about a year ago. I'm always open to making new friends either IRL or on the interwebz. I'm trying to lose about 25 lbs (carried mostly in my tummy and thighs--yuck) and could use some motivation! I signed up for the Camp Pendleton Mud Run in June with my (super skinny, fit) girlfriend so needless to say it's time to get serious about training and dropping this excess weight for good! My problem is that when I don't see results, I quit. I'm not consistent in my efforts. However, MFP is slowly helping to change that. I've fallen off the healthy food wagon a few times recently, but I keep coming back to this site. I realized if I'm going to stick with it, I need to immerse myself in the boards and find like-minded individuals with similar goals as it's certainly not the case in my day to day life.

So anyway, wanna be friends? As terrifying as it sounds, I'm thinking about making my food journal public in an attempt to hold myself to the highest level of accountability: the judgment of strangers. :) Ha! Looking forward to meeting you. If you have any pro-tips for losing belly fat I'd love to hear them.

Cheers! xoxo

    If you open your Diary - I will let you know what I think daily - and mine is open to friends. I find this to be the most helpful - I have several really good friends who check my diary daily and keep me moving in the right direction. :happy:

    Good and/or bad, tracking everything is incredibly helpful! We all have days when we don't eat the healthiest foods in the world...but sticking with it is what makes the changes permanent. Feel free to add me!
