female age: 43 SW 226 CW 217 GW 140 I'm looking for some more MFP friends for mutual support. I have a lot of weight to lose, 88 pounds to get down to my "acceptable BMI" Someone who is close in age/CW/GW would be awesome, but not required.

raven- we are thinking about walking the bridge on sunday ( This is the loose plan at the moment. - I think) do you think you could make that? its totally on the other side of the beltway...so, I totally understand if it's too far.

your post about walking across the wilson bridge inspired me to see if anyone wanted to make it a regular thing. we can start by walking - that's good for me. I just need to meet earlier in the day b/c my weekends are packed w/work and errands and chores. next weekend?

I am totally interested in meeting up regularly to workout together. I prefer mornings, that way, I can still get stuff done on the weekends. does that work for you? sat or sunday mornings?

you look great!! I never get tired of seeing before/after progress shots. you really do look amazing. congrats!

I can't do it in on sunday. would you be interested meeting again sometime during the week,? my schedule is pretty flexible. could meet early morning (nothing crazy early)

I am right there with you - blueberries / strawberries /raspberries and a little honey!

I'm a vegetarian. I know what you mean about hearing all the "secrets" to losing a lot fast usually means eating crazy amounts of meat and poultry. It gets not only boring, but it's not helpful to my lifestyle. I eat eggs, so, I am not afraid to scramble of fry up an egg white or two at times when I feel like I need more…

I live in Mount Rainier, MD (college park/ hyattsville area) I work in Old Town Alexandria.

I've done that walk - its really nice. the bridge itself is about 2 miles (shore to shore). I don't know if I'll be free... what time were you thinking of starting? which side? the alexandria side has plenty of street parking.

Happy Birthday! What a gift to give yourself! so inspirational.

way to go!!!! you look great!

I'm right there with you - I've added cycling to my life and and trying to work up to biking to and from work daily - (15miles each way) right now, I'm parking the car about 5 miles away from work, and its been great. next week I'm going to do 10 miles /each direction. I have about 75 pounds to lose. mfp really helped me…

I have a long road ahead of me. I'm back at mfp because it helped me before. I find that logging calories and workouts made sticking to a healthier lifestyle easier. having the encouragement and having to go "public" with what I eat and how often I exercise keeps me more accountable too. you can friend request me, we can…

welcome back! I've come back too. I'm looking for support as well, so, feel free to friend me.

I go to the gym and get on a kind of elliptical and try to up the level and stay on it 3 additional minutes each time. I wish I worked out everyday. I do keep a set of hand weights around and pick them up a few times a day and do a couple of sets. it takes less than 5 minutes, and I think even that little bit has positive…

I agree w/ newmeat30! wow - thank you for sharing and inspiring....

I know, its Tuesday, so, I'm a little late but....here it goes what I found easy: keeping track of my caloric intake - I kind of love it - I guess that's the OCD in me... I discovered how far off on portion control I've been (probably forever), after I broke out the scale and started measuring things. what I found hard…

I like this idea too! how is everyone doing?

:smile: I'm new here too...just started a few days ago, even though I added the my fitness partner app to my phone in the fall. I think I love the phone app, now that I'm using it. It's really helped me be more conscientious about what I'm eating, because I try to add to my food diary every time I eat. yesterday, I didn't…

does anyone know how to form a group? how can we follow up with each other? are we going to use this thread?

I'm in.... it would be really helpful to have a group of people to be accountable to . My boyfriend is leaving to hike the whole Appalachian Trail at the end of April and I plan to join him a few times along the way. I'd love to surprise him each time I visit - by being healthier and thinner. how do we start a group? what…

:smile: I'm new here too...just started a few days ago, even though I added the app to my phone in the fall. I love the iphone app. It really has helped me keep up more with what I'm eating - It really is simple - all we have to do is burn more calories a day than we consume. its not rocket science, but its not easy…
