Hello! I've been on this website off and on, but never got into the forums or anything. I thought maybe getting some support would help me finally reach my goals. I'm pretty athletic and have a larger frame, size 12, 5'11" 190lbs, I'm trying to get down into my healthy BMI range which would be around 175lbs. My biggest problem is that I eat too much processed food. I have a busy schedule with classes, internship, and working and the winter blues never helps either. I am a single female and cooking a full meal for one is hard, a lot of times I end up eating granola and yogurt for dinner. I also am moving to San Diego in July, from Cleveland, Ohio, and I am looking forward to living in a more active healthy environment, but I want to work on getting my beach body, to have year round! I tried WW and lost about ten pounds but I hate to spend money to lose weight so I figured I would try to get more involved in this website and see if the support will help me a little more! I will kindly accept friends!

Welcome, Liz!
I'm probably the "geezer" of the group, but if you don't mind an "old" friend....feel free to friend me.
Reading thru your intro made me smile....and thiink of myself years ago.
I'm all for your goal of "a healthy BMI" but would cautiion not going TOO thin. I'm 6' and shooting for 175-ish. I may readjust. I'm pretty healthy looking right now at 189-192, but would like to get rid of this stupid muffin top. I guess "toned" would be the best word for my fitness goal.
Are you still lifting? That's what I need to add back. As we age, it is SO important to keep our bone/muscle mass. Also, lean muscle helps us "burn more" just in our day-to-day living!
Blessings,

Hi Lori!
Yes, I am lifting. I played college basketball for four years and just finished my season in March. I'm pretty good about mixing my strength training and cardio, although I am a cardio-holic. I've made an effort to get back into doing push-ups in the last few months. I can now do 20 without stopping! I'll definitely add you!0
