Newbie saying hi

Hey

New, 5/6 days old on this site, still working it all out.
From London England.
I would love to meet some folk especially for accountability so please pop by and say hi.
I eat like a pig, I used to eat healthily, tbh deep down I think I know what I need to do but now days I'm just so cracked out on junk food :'( so this could be a challenge. I train hard and don't see the results I should because of a really crappy diet .

Look forward to meeting lots of you
Xxx

    Hey L,

    Just returned after a 5 year absence! Worked well before, but I hit my targets and then stepped away. Back now to gather nutrition data as I am struggling to lose the last 7 pounds to help with my hill climbing (on the bike).
    I am an amateur triathlete and bike racer (road bike) and so every little counts as they say.
    I eat reasonably healthy, but do love the sweet stuff!

    Accountability is a good thing and I look forward to making sure you are hitting those targets and achieving your goals. Keep training hard and avoid that junk... it's sent to test you!

    F.x

  • Hello all!! I am looking to lose around 70lbs I put alot of weight on after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer back in April and then having my thyroid removed. This is my first week on my new lifestyle change.. I went and seen a nutritionist and she said that carb counting was key. I feel like she has me consuming alot of carbs though I can have up to 45 per meal and 20 or less per snack. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Hi Lauren, good to see another UK user! You already have half of the battle nailed by training hard, once the diet is sorted out it will all fall into place. MFP will help you with that, the food logging bit is really handy for controlling what you consume :wink:

    Hi Lauren!

    I'm a Londoner too :) I feel like I have the opposite problem to you. On the whole I eat well, but I don't work out enough to see any differences in my body. So I'm trying to add 3 workouts a week to help me tone up!
