Hey everybody!
I've been on MFP for years, and years but never reached out to the community for motivational friends; figured it couldn't hurt.
A bit of a back story on me, as a child I was super fit, I mean I did chin ups for fun and my calf muscles were huge, I'm talkin' the doctor said he'd never seen muscles like that on a kid my age, and then puberty hit; I've been battling with my weight ever since. My biggest success was in 2013 when I had started Atkins and lost 54 lbs in 6 months, and then started getting very unhealthy and started developing an eating disorder because the weight loss became an addiction, so I stopped the diet and focused on getting my health back to par. Well I did, for a while and was quite happy... Then in 2017 I met the love of my life and gained it all back, and plus some. So here I am again, starting on the Ketogenic diet, 5, going on 6 days in and a little over 4 lbs of water weight down.
I think it'd be awesome to have some fitness friends on here to cheer each other along and motivate one another.
Feel free to add me or shoot me a message.
