Trying to get healthy again.

meghanelise8

Hi everyone, my names Meghan but everyone calls me Meg. I'm a 24 year old nursing student. Over 7 years I've gained 100lbs and am trying desperately to try to lose as much of that as I can. I have pcos so it's a bit hard for me to lose weight and a whole lot easier to gain it. I'm restating my Keto diet. I've been off the wagon for 3 weeks. I was on the diet 2 months and lost 25 lbs though (so far I've gained back 10).


Looking for friends to help support and motivate each other.

Nice to meet you all.

Hello Meg. I'm trying the keto diet as well. Hoping to lose fat and gain muscle (by working out). Wish you luck!

Hey Meg! I am a nurse also, I remember those student days of eating M & M's and studying. Yep, it's a fact, almost all nursing students gain due to stress eating. You think, I'll take it off when I go to work. Then you find all the chocolates and cakes that the patients and other staff bring! I would love to be on this journey with you. We can do this!

Hi Meg, I reactivated my MFP just today because I realized I was spiraling out of control again! I can't figure out why I keep doing this. Get healthy, get comfortable, stop being healthy and feel crappy So, Long story short. You aren't alone, and you have plenty of people cheering for you!

:P it's so hard not to just pick up something quick or to snack. We can definitely do this! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement.

I really love the Keto diet, once you get some recipes down and you're not just eating bacon and eggs it's awesome. I fell off due to stress from school finals but I'm so excited to get back on it, I had excellent results even the first week. Wish you luck as well, you can do it!

It's easier to eat bad and quicker but you're only hurting yourself. I had blood work done which kind of made me realize "hey you were doing so good, now look". Once you get a routine going and good recipes it becomes so much easier, I just have to keep my stress levels down and make time for myself and my health, which is my struggle. I'd be happy to help motivate you on your journey.
