Not new - but need more suppport

edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I started a year and 1/2 ago and by November lost 39 lbs. Put about 10 of it back by Mid - January and the another 10 up to now. I just changed my ticker to reflect the gain and I'm not happy about it. I have about 40 more to go and would love to add some friends with similar goals and ambitions.

I'm fairly active on here - I try to be supportive.

I really do like working out - for the most part......sometimes it's hard to get started but I always feel better when I'm done. I've finished 1 round of Insanity and am on the 3rd week of level 1 again - but got some advice from a new friend to try to mix it up more so I think I'm going to start lifting and running every other day.

Honestly I feel like crap for gaining back 1/2 of the weight that I lost and figured what the he!l, maybe I will open up and get some more friends. I love my friends on my FL and have intentionally kept the list small - I prefer people that will interact w/me and not friend collectors. If we don't fit or talk much, I'll probably delete you - and expect the same.

Warning, I have a f'd up sense of humor and often post things not fitness related. I have a potty mouth and don't often censor what comes out.

I'm 5'6" - 190 lbs looking to get about 150 - or stop whenever I feel comfortable.

I feel like this is an introduction on ok cupid or something. Very strange.

    You sound like my kind of friend my dear. Feel free to add me. Im in a fitness funk also. it's been flippin hot around here and Ive got a lot of stress in trying to sell my house also. Working out is the LAST thing on my mind to be honest. Im watching what I eat and imputting calories like crazy on here. If youd like to have some cheer, or at least someone to have a potty mouth at, feel free to add me. Best of luck!

    Feel free to add me. I could always use more humor. Been at this weight loss thing for about 7 months now. Started with the 4 hour body by Tim Ferriss (low carbs, high protein) and stalled for about 8 weeks after quickly losing 25 lbs. The weight is coming off much slower now and I'm working my way into cardio or other ways of toning/tightening.

    I still have another 60 or so pounds I would like to lose, so I'll take all the support I can get.

    Feel free to add me. I am 5'4" and 223 lbs looking to get to 130-150 (depends where I feel the healthiest). I am very active on this site and I too was doing Insanity. I had to put that on hold due to injuring my ankles during my last workout, but I am starting Hip Hop Abs tonight (Shaun T has got to be my favorite workout video instructor). Also, I keep my food diary open to my friends because I think it helps give people menu ideas too. :)

    It's okay. We all have our ups and downs sometimes. You're obviously motivated or you wouldn't be here! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    Good luck!!! You can do this!

    I'm mid way through Month 1 of my 2nd round of Insanity. I'm finding it difficult to keep motivated with the videos. I'm still losing at a decent rate, but I know I *have* to get back into a better routine. I too have a messed up sense of humor... I just don't share it much on MFP... feel free to add me!

    Thanks guys, just needed to vent. I feel better already......forgot to add, I drink too much booze. That might be part (ahem,,, most) of the problem.

    Ok, I thought we were a pretty good match before your last post, but now I think we're twins that were separated at birth. I'm 5'2", CW 165, looking to getting to approx. 135. I'm lacking a bit of motivation to exercise, and am definitely drinking too many calories. I could also use the support - please feel free to add me. :happy:

    This is a club I need to join. Happy hours, eating out, etc are prime drinking/socializing time and it's SUPER hard to say no. Who wants to count calories when all you want is a cold beer from working out ALL week.?.. Does anyone else crave a beer after 3 consecutive days of working out? I never knew how good beer tasted until I started doing really hard workout and cutting out carbs during the week. ugh...
