Back again and looking for more motivating friends :)
Hello! My name is Courtney and I have been a member of MyFitnessPal for probably around 4 years now. Short version of my story, I originally joined because I wanted to join the United States Navy. I accomplished my goal and was in the best shape of my life in 2012. Come 2013 my mother passed away unexpectedly while I was…

Not New, just returning
So, my story on how I got started on MFP is posted on my page. I basically wanted to join the US Navy and had to lose a good amount of weight to do so. I succeeded and have now been in for over a year. Right now I am on here again because I want to be in even better shape, max out on my scores and be the person I never…

This is What 12 lbs Looks Like
Ok, so leave it to my grandma to post pictures of me at my worst, this was before I got my Navy Contract, about 2 months before I joined MyFitnessPal. Back then I would never let this thing touch the internet, but now I am kind of proud because I am 12lbs lighter and the after picture is where I am at today, of course this…

Insanity - Thoughts?
My fiance is in the Navy and left me with his Insanity Workout DVD's. I am going to Navy Boot Camp on July 10, 2012 and he tells me to do these workouts - though to be honest, I am intimidated. I have done Jillian Michael's DVD's for the past 3 years, and yeah, I get a little slimmed down but nothing too amazing. However,…

Workout Routine Ideas?
Hey Everyone! So my fitness guru/workout buddy is no longer with me. It is my fiance and he and I are joining the Navy and he just graduated bootcamp. Anyway, I lost 9lbs since he left doing the ellipitcal and Jillian Michaels' 30DS, however that's not good enough. I am going to Navy Recruit Training Command on July 10,…

Jillian Michael's 30DS Question
I am on day 6 of Level 1. I still get my heartrate up and get a good workout, however I am no longer sore in the morning. Is it time to bump it up to Level 2 or should I wait until the 16th and switch it (the 16th will be my 10th day) ?

Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred
Hey all! I am doing the 30 Day Shred from Jillian and I am currently on Day 3. My thighs are what are killing me the most, however the sit ups and upper body exercises don't seem to be doing it for me. I want to lose weight, a decent amount before February 10th (fiance graduating from Navy Basic Training :D ) and my full…

Healthy Meal Ideas
Ok guys, I am a 20-year-old living on my own and I am still experimenting with my culinary skills. I am trying to have a lean diet with veggies, but also not too bad on the wallet. I would like make-ahead meals as I work from 6:00AM-3:00PM. Breakfast and lunch are usually my problem areas. What are your favorite recipes? I…

U.S. Navy Future Sailor - I DID IT!
I lost enough weight to become a Future Sailor for the United States Navy! I started MFP in the middle of my weight-loss to keep track of what I eat every day. I lost a total of 14 lbs since July when I realized I wanted to become a U.S. Sailor. Given I was still over the “max weight” for my height for the Navy, however, I…

Questions about Diet Medications
I introduced myself on the boards yesterday, and if you read my post I am sure you already know that I am trying to lose weight so I can meet the Military’s height/weight requirements because I want to join the United States Navy. Long story short, if I choose to indulge I usually do it only when (1) I have enough extra…

I had a 3.11 GPA in college, I completed 74 credit hours and I was determined to graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Human Communication – however life does not always go as planned.
