Fat tall girl seeks: strength, better habits, and MFP friends!

Hiya!

I'm 6'0" and 121kg, and I'm looking to become fitter and stronger. Ideally, I'd like to be able to support my own body weight (e.g. do a full pullup and pushup) -- whatever that may be. I think to be able to do that I would need to lose a bunch of weight, but strength and health is my number one focus. If I lose weight, cool. If I don't, well, I'd better be making a lot of muscle to support myself. However, I've already lost 16kg from my highest weight, with 10 of those kgs being lost in the past 2 months.

I'm also looking to solidify healthy habits -- like listening to my body when I am hungry or full, or when I need a rest day, or when I need a cardio/strength training day. All my life I have had a really *kitten* relationship with food so I can never tell if I'm full or hungry. I'm tracking my food intake on MFP to help me distinguish when I am full, or hungry, or emotionally hungry.

I'm also weighing myself daily, so I can train myself to be okay with the daily fluctuation and plateaus, and that my health and worth isn't necessarily directly related to what a weigh on a particular morning. I'm trying to value all different ways that I can measure progress -- fitting into clothes I couldn't before, doing an exercise I couldn't do before, increasing my lifts, enduring longer in cardio, increasing the level of impact I can do, noticing a new muscle, or more frequently stopping myself eating before I felt bloated.

I'm looking for friends to connect with on here for inspiration and motivation. If anything I said resonates with you, add me! Please!
