Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, everyone! My computer decided to break on me, so it has taken me a while to get back on here to see all of your awesome suggestions! Not at the moment due to our apartment facilities being closed due to COVID-19, but I definitely love to swim and will go to the pool as soon as it opens…

I'm 5'2 and my goal is currently at the top of my weight range for the army requirements of 138. I've got to lost about 85 pounds in order to get to the size that I'd like, but it is quite difficult because I have an auto-immune/inflammatory disease that flares up in response to sweat as well as thyroid issues.

I don't mind offering encouragement, either! I have a bad habit of being good to log on daily for a week or two and then disappearing, so it'd be nice to have more friends!

I'm here because I want an overall healthier life.

Someone who loves the beach and marine wildlife.

Always nice to have more people to keep you motivated!! I've found that more I have people involved, the more willing I am to actually log onto the MFP app.

I'm always looking for more friends!!

Hey there! Fellow Alabamian here! :)

Welcome back!

I've found that anything cardio based is going to be good to slim down and keep your body fit enough to do strength training, which is what will help you tone up.

Good luck! If you'd like an accountability partner, feel free to add me as a friend! :)

I'll admit that it's pretty hard to stay motivated. I'll even look at the app some days and completely forget to log what I make just because I don't have my phone handy at the time. It should hopefully get easier as time wears on, though!

Hey, and welcome to MFP! I'm looking to lose about 60-70 pounds as well, so I totally understand how daunting it may seem!

Hey there! I'm also looking to lost about 60-ish pounds, so we've both got quite a journey ahead of us. I stress eat as well, which is an awful combination with me being in school and having 2 part-time jobs.
