Hi all! My name is Mari and I've been on and off on MFP for a while now. I recently got back on and have started tracking my stuff again. So here are my stats: Height: 5'6" HW: 170 MFP SW: 166 CW: 159 GW: 140 Feel free to add me as a friend! I can use all the support I can get!

Even if you don't have access to a gym or weights, there are things that can be done using your own body weight as you strength train. Start by doing squats, pushups, and holding a plank for up to a minute and past that with a goal of 5 minutes. As an example to give you an idea about body fat: my lean body mass as per…

That right there is why I love CrossFit. It's varied from day to day and never dull. I used to fail miserably at working out regularly because of a lack of planning. They plan it for me and I go from there. It's awesome and I love that it works that way. As a result, I have been working out for well over a year,…

Today, I enjoyed the outdoors and went for a run. I maintained a 10-minute mile pace and ran the equivalent of a 5k for the first time EVER! I'm stoked about that! I'm even MORE stoked that at the end, I was breathing hard, but I wasn't out of breath which means I could have kept going! Either way, I met my goal of doing…

HRM = heart rate monitor :smile:

You are absolutely correct! In my own situation, I skinned one of my shins doing box jumps several months back up on a 20 inch box. I had been doing box jumps at that height for months before that happened, but once it happened, I had this mental block. It was awful. I am doing much better now and have worked my way up to…

Hi everyone! My name is Mari and I am looking to eventually get down to my goal weight of 145. That means focusing more on what I eat. Eh, I'm a work in progress. I CrossFit 5 times a week, or I try to, unless life gets in the way. I have two kids that are my inspiration to be the best I can be for them and a wonderfully…

I Crossfit 5 days a week and have been doing so for over a year now. I recently earned my CF level 1 certificate and so now am able to teach if I so desired. I love CF and it has changed my body SO much in its composition. Now, however, I need to find a way to lose the fat that is still on top. Realistically, I've lost a…

I'm a SAHM to two little ones, ages 3 and 5. I work out every morning and the kids go with me. They love going and love cheering me on when I'm going through and doing my thing. Love it and love that I'm leading by example for them! :) Feel free to add me as a friend if you want!!

You can write it however you want to write it. It can be a few lines or you can write the entire page the first day. The goal is to write a page every time, but if you can't get the page, the just write as much as you can each time you write yourself a letter :)

So this might sound a little corny, but write yourself a letter. Everything in it must be positive and about you. Aim to write a page and work towards that. It will help you put your own positive attributes in perspective as you learn to love yourself. Write yourself a letter as often as you want...it helps…

Good job on the weight loss so far! that's awesome!

Good to have you here! Feel free to send me a friend request as we all go on this journey to good health! Cheers!

Love the group motivation! It's great!

Hey TIna! Your goal is the same as mine :) I'm around 160 and have been there for a long time. My goal is to be between 140 and 145. I have come to terms that I will probably never weigh 130lbs like I originally wanted to a couple of years ago but that is because my lean body mass was measured at 127lbs, so realistically…

My goals are to eat a more balanced diet to complement the weight training I already do. I need to work on my weak points and go from there. Ultimately, I would like to lose about 15 lbs total, so it'd be awesome if I lost at least half of that over this next month. :)
