Hello everyone,
I am 24 years old and a mother of one 20 month old boy. I love him to death but have seriously been slacking on my fitness since I had him. I am now up to 214 lbs and want to get down to at least 170! I am 5'8"and am planning on going to the gym and working out...almost every day if I can and would like someone to e-mail and chat with to keep my progress going. IF anyone is up for this please let me know. I also have MSN messenger if it comes to that point. Thank you for reading,

hey blcarter, i would be happy to buddy up on 3FC with you ^_^ PM me if you are keen

Im a 21 year old student, also working on getting to the gym lots, and i am a bit of an internet junky so i reply to my PMs pretty quickly I started weight loss in feb, joined 3FC in July, and am determined to keep going no matter what!

Hey so I finally joined the 24 hour fitness out here which is right next to my apartment by the way. And they include child care while you work out which is great because the last place I used to go to charged me $5 a visit! So anyways I don't have enough posts to be able to PM you yet so I guess I will just have to keep posting until I am able. I hope that you will be on board with me Thanks

Oh i didnt know that you had to have a certain number of posts to be able to PM >.< Having a fitness palce right next to your apartment sounds like heaven!

Yeah hope to get 10 posts soon so that I can just PM. Well I got up at 8:30 this morning and went to the gym and ran on the eliptical for 52 minutes. Tomorrow I am going to do my arms and shoulders on weights also. Really want to lose at lease 44 pounds!

wow 52 minutes is awesome! I love weights, i do a weights class once a week and it gives me a boost, its a really nice change to my normal cardio work And we'll be toned yay ^_^

52 minutes! Excellent! My gym has a 30 minute time limit on all its machines with a 5 minute cool down so the longest I can go without resetting my stats and workout summary is 35 minutes.

Oh right on! There are soooo many machines at this gym that I think it would be silly if they had a time limit. Although I have been to gyms in the past that if they are all full you can only b on for 30 minutes and the next person on the list gets to go. I am really hoping that I can stop the second wave under my arm if you know what I mean....jiggle jiggle

i think the machines at my gym have a one hour limit on them, but thats plenty for me good on you for being so motivated! I have to try and get back into exercising after i had this icky infection. Its so hard when you get out of the habit!

i would like it vey much if we could be 3fc buddies! itoo need someone to talk to and help keep me motivated. We have the same goal weight so maybe we could motivate each other! Goodluck.

I would love to have a buddy too! we all could use a boost!

Yay soo many people with the same goal in mind. Mine is more towards excercising and weight loss then difference in diet. But all the same you get the reslts!! So I will be on for a whiloe tonight and then to bed and to the gym in the morning!

for me, if i didnt include diet in my plan, i'd eat everyone out of house and home gym tomorrow is my goal too, as well as an early night. No more excuses for me

I'm having a hard time getting into the gym lately and I REALLY need to find the motivation. I walk my dog for an hour everyday and its a fairly fast paced walk (I try to wear him down so he doesn't jump off the walls all day while I'm in class/work) but I know that I'm not doing enough toning or core work just taking a stroll with the pooch. I am eating the 200 calories mini-meals 6 times a day because it really works with my crazy schedule just to grab something quick every few hours. I need someone to drag me to the gym at 6 in the morning.. where do I get that kinda buddy?
