in Introduce Yourself
Hey y'all! I'm new to the mfp community. I've been logging for a few weeks now. I gave up briefly for a few days cause it was such a pain in the butt but didn't stop the healthy eating. I'd love to add some of y'all so I can have more reasons to come on here other than logging.

Now about me. I'm 5'6 and currently 270ish down from 285ish and 20 years old. I used to be extremely fit but I've never been skinny. Three years ago I was a rugby player that weighed 150ish and I was pretty muscular. But after I started university I became extremely sedentary and gained about 40 pounds in two months.

Then I went abroad and was pampered by my family who spoilt me with round the clock extremely unhealthy but absolutely delicious meals and ended up gaining like 90 pounds within 11 months. Lol, funny but not funny.

But I've come to my senses and decided to get my *kitten* together. No excuses. Eating clean isn't a problem for me, eating enough is. I hate cooking with a passion so some times I unintentionally end up being extremely under calorie/macros and end up feeling lethargic and sick. Trying my best to put together quick and nutritious meals and get back to my old fit self.

Would love it if some of you joined me. Thanks for reading! :)

    Feel free to add me, too. One good thing is that you should be able to lose weight at a faster than normal rate, since you've been fit before. You know, in those diet commercials, they hire really athletic people to get fat and lose it all because they know that those people can lose weight and get ripped at a faster rate, which is good for their product.
