I've been a member of MFP for about 4 years now. I successfully went from 144 to 110 (<- too low) between 2013 and 2016 (I'm 5'3.75 - that last 3/4 inch counts!). Recently diagnosed with a binge eating disorder - gained 50lbs in the last 9 months. Working on a combination of therapy, mindful eating, logging exercise and calories, and upping my overall activity level. I'm a nursing student in a fast-paced bachelor's program, so it's been challenging, to say the least. I need more accountability in my life! I keep my diary open to maintain honesty, and I log my weight once a week, measure inches once a month, and keep track of miles walked/ran/biked (I made a template if anyone would like it). Since I can't afford a gym right now, I'm going to start utilizing bodyweight exercises as well.

Looking forward to getting to know some new people who are on the same fitness journey!

- Jo

    Hi! I've been a member for years now. This is my 3rd or 4th time to "start over". I have lost 20 pounds but still have about 45 more to lose. I will send you a friend request. I really count on MFP friends support. It really makes a difference. :)
