I'm new here. Looking to lose about 15-20lbs. I am 5'4", F, 32, and currently 135lbs. I am looking for friends since no one in my personal life is actively trying to lose weight. I have herniated discs in my lower back that make my love of running a sometimes "on and off" hobby. I went from 118 pounds in June 2017 to 135 today because I had to completely stop running and my eating didn't change. Mathematically, I ate about 60,000 calories more than what I burned since then. That comes out to about 400 per day which is what I would have burned running 30-35 MPW with a few biking and swimming sessions thrown in when not in the mood to run. I have always used the FitBit side of calorie tracking to maintain, but figured I would give MFP a shot when it came to losing. I am not a so-called "healthy or clean" eater, I just always ate within my caloric zone and maintained my weight of 117-120 which was perfect for me. While maintaining, I ate around 50C/35F/15P and that combination fueled my lifestyle beautifully. I also travel extensively for work so eating out in sometimes an absolute necessity, especially when traveling overseas. Please add me if you are interested in becoming my friend or if you have a similar lifestyle and weight loss goals.
