Hey Ya'll I'm new here today!!!

Hey everyone!!! My name is Heather and this is my first time on here today. Little bit of background: I started a life style change about a year ago and my weight at that time was 250 and I'm now down to 175 (YAY ME!!) I just joined the YMCA with my family and today was the first day of exercise on an Elliptical. I did 30min and it was a breeze once I got the hang of it (Octane XR6000) the one with the seat, I need to start out easy because I have Fibro. and some other issues with my back hence I use the seat one. So I signed up here today cause I;m hitting a stalemate so i thought it would help finding friends on here and the more motivation the better, I'd like to be @ 140..my range is 150-120....so I picked the middle. So please feel free to reply and together we cange hit our goals!!!! Thanks for reading and looking forward to talking with everyone!!!:bigsmile:

    The way i add people is to click the link on their username under thier pic. Then that takes you to their profile which has a button to add them as a friend. I added you and a few others from this thread. People are super nice and supportive on this website. I love it! And people please feel free to add me. The more support the better. I am always happy for another friend!

    Welcome. If you stick with My Fitness Pal, you'll find that it's really simple. I've found that a rock gets more exercise than I do, and I've lost 27 pounds in 9 weeks now.
    To add someone as a Friend, just click on their pic or name, and if their profile pops up, there will be an Icon that will display "Add as Friend".
    Good luck and stay motivated!!:smile:
