Hello everyone! I am new to the forums signed up today.
So.. Why I want to lose weight.
My BMI is still in the healthy region but I want to feel better about myself. My goal is to lose most of my belly till next summer and build arm and leg muscle.
Can I post here every week about what I did? I feel that would motivate me a lot. I am a big procrastinator .
Does anyone want to post their exercises that they do every week here? Or I could look at your thread? We can motivate each other :)
Good Luck to everyone!!!
 
Hi and welcome,
I'm a newbie here also.
Its good your already at a healthy weight and toning and getting fit is a great goal.
You can find my weight loss plan in the new mums section. I can't start till after the birth.
Also you can make a diary thread in the diary section, this is where people keep updates on their progress and people reply.
 
Hi I think it's great you came to this forum. I came to it to help keep me on track and motivate me. I hope you reach your goal with the forum's help.
 
Thanks Nostalgic! I will check out your weight loss plan and will post in the diary section :)
I hope you do too FitGirl20 !
 
Welcome to the forum.

It is great that you have joined us and I can see that you are getting into the swing of posting here... I'm a bit late with welcoming people in the newcomer section as I have been busy over the last couple of weeks... That's what happens when you have your wedding anniversary and birthday in rapid succession...:svengo:

All that I can say is that it is very natural to want to improve our shape and having a BMI of a healthy range does not negate that.

You mention building arm and leg muscles - but also that your belly concerns you... Maybe you want to be improving a fuller range of muscles including core... A lot of people get their weight to the healthy range and are not happy with their physique... If you google terms like "skinny fat" you will see a load of stuff about it... All it really means is a lack of strength training (or lack of it in specific areas) results in people not being as toned as they would like... Cardio burns calories but doesnt improve toning... I personally find weight training to be boring - but there are other things like pilates and mat exercises which some people find more appealing...

I suggest that you read the following thread - it may help you settle in and make friends

Good luck with your project.
