Harrisburg here! But I grew up in North Central PA (Williamsport area). Feel free to add me!

Love to know more about it! I'm intrigued and would welcome a new challenge!

Weekly challenges sound like fun! And I too am a WW drop-out. With my journey so far-- I am realizing that I too am a bit competitive! I really have been drawing that inspiration with my current MFP friends-- maybe from you too! Frend request on the way.

I really enjoy yoga--- and depending on the instructor in my classes, I can get a decent workout! If anything else, I enjoy the way my body feels after our session. It's not about how well you can move into a pose-- for me, anyway-- it's about being present and focusing on just that. I really have enjoyed feeling how my…

Hey Rachel! I think it's great that you're thinking about taking care of yourself and making healthier choices-- there are a lot of great people on this site. I will send you a friend request-- it's great to have others around you to help motivate and keep you on your toes! Cheers!

Hi there-- I've been at it for about 6 weeks-- and actually enjoying my time here. People are really supportive and have great information! Friend request coming your way--!

That's awesome! I recently noticed a smaller chest with my journey so far... which is really weird, because in my various weight loss attempts in the past-- I NEVER lost weight on my chest. So much so-- I had a breast reduction about 5 years ago because I couldn't reduce their size naturally. It figures that they're…

Definitely snarky and sarcastic here-- friend request sent!

I'm literally going through the same thing right now. My BMR is 1703 (I'm 5'10'' and weigh 197)--- and I've been eating only under 1200 NET on a daily basis. I haven't lost a pound in WEEKS. I have just changed my goals to be netting 1600 calories per day, as I work out 6 days a week and burn anywhere from 400-1000 per…

First refreshing post in awhile. I actually enjoy Zumba-- mostly because I sweat my *kitten* off and have fun-- which is strange from someone who can't shake her hips if she tried. But... those Zumba 'street cred' outfits are really ridiculous. I mean, come on--- you're going to wear pink baggy camo pants with straps and…

I was in the same boat... making the excuses to not do something about my body. You'll find some great people who definitely help to keep you accountable! Friend request on the way!

Hi there, Friend request coming your way--- you'll definitely find this is a supportive community. I've been here for nearly a month and have gotten a lot of great info from people who are truly here to do something with their bodies and lives... it's inspiring and definitely keeps you accountable. Cheers!

I *just* graduated with my Bachelor's in December 2011 (at 31)-- working fulltime and taking at least 15 credits a term (shorter terms = overdrive) at the same time. It was so hard. I did not have as much time to devote to fitness as I wanted... so here I am now. I would often walk during my lunch break and in the mornings…

Hi there-- I'm 31 (without kids unless you want to count my spoiled black lab!) and am always looking for other who want to help each other out! Sending the friend request!

I know what you mean about justifying that extra cookie or treat! And Hi Carla-- I am looking to meet people who are ready to make some changes in their life-- this isn't a punishment, it's our life! Sending friend requests to both of you! --Sara

Hi all-- I'm 5'10" and really wondering if it will be possible to get to the 160's... I've always had a larger frame with insanely muscular legs. SW: 210 (ish) CW:198 GW:160? 155? 150? I'm new to MFP and it would be great to know others who are of a similar height that knows our struggles! Feel free to friend me!

I'm new as well.. a friend request is on the way! ... and I love me some good snark. I can't do the cheerleader bit well, but I can do snark!

I have only recently joined, but it is nice to know there are other tall women out there that are supporting one another! I too will keep this tread to show some progress. Although I've only been on MFP for less than two weeks, I contribute this weight loss to the site/app. Since March 3rd, I've lost 9 pounds and soon to…

Shin splints are a real pain (no pun intended!) to deal with because of their location. I have extremely tight calf muscles and have battled shin splints over the years-- it can definitely be a reason for your shin splints. Be sure to really (i mean really) stretch your calf prior to a run, ensure that you are wearing…
