If you lurk, how long have you: just checked this out today
Anything interesting about yourself: I've done it before... I know I can do it again
Any question you might have: I lost 30lbs last year, and have kept it off, but have hit a more than 6 month long plateau, and am beyond frustrated at this point. I have been using a calorie counter on my phone, and following the 1500 cal recommendation. Recently I've been trying less because I am so frustrated at this point, even though I believe it may be wrong. Do I actually need more? Would adding more at this point actually make me gain, or would it result in losing? I am obviously not a little girl, and I have a ways to go. I need all the help I can get!!!!!!!!
Weight loss/fitness goals: I would like to use about 62 pounds, but overall I want to feel healthier and have more energy for a very special little boy in my life.
Favorite cake flavor: This is a tough one...I'm honestly torn between carrot cake and red velvet!
If you lurk, how long have you: A few weeks now.
Anything interesting about yourself: I cry very easily, like way too easily and I just finished my certification in phlebotomy. That's about as interesting as I get.
Any question you might have: If I come up with more I'll post.
Also - my MFP username is jalykr. I would love to have some friends who can call me out on my cookies or when I forget to track! One last thing...can anyone explain to me how to add a ticker to my signature...I've tried looking it up, and am coming up with blanks.
Hi! Just engaged Jan 18th! Joined TK a week or so after.
Wedding date: 8/1/14
Weight loss/fitness goals: 165 by summer (178 currently), exercise at least 5 times a week, eliminate sugar (starting tomorrow) and caffeine (starting...never...soon)
Favorite cake flavor: ALL THE CAKE!!!!
If you lurk, how long have you: Less than a month, just started posting
Anything interesting about yourself: I am making cupcakes for a friend tomorrow and it just so happens I am starting no sugar as well. Bummer.
To get back to being somewhere around 130 lbs. I have gained a lot of weight slowly over the past 4 years and it's just hit me recently that I'm not happy with that weight gain and I need to do something about it. I'd also just like my clothes to fit me better.
Favorite cake flavor: Vanilla with chocolate fudge icing.
If you lurk, how long have you:
I have lurked for a couple weeks and since getting my gym membership I've realized I need more motivation/accountability.
I've been on TK since September 2011.
Anything interesting about yourself:
I skate on an adult sunchronized skating team. That's the other reason for focusing more on GIS; I want to get my skills and stamina back.
I posted a new thread to say hi, but I'll check in here too!
Wedding Date: September 21!
Weight Loss/Fitness Goals: As I said in my 'hi' post, I just want to look freaking awesome - which probably translates to about 10 pounds on me, and a lot of toning!
Favorite Cake Flavor: Red Velvet - but we're not having cake at the wedding. Key Lime Pie!
If you lurk, how long have you been here: Oh...forever? Been posting on TK intermittently since I got engaged in June, but haven't poked around this board too much yet!
Weight loss/fitness goals: Not really a weight loss goal, but I'm looking to build more muscle and lose inches!
Favorite cake flavor:Chocolate!
If you lurk, how long have you: Just popped over today
I've lost around 40 pounds since 2011, but I've put a few pounds back on. My fiance and I try to work out daily. My favorite workout is lifting weights!
