Hi everyone! My name is Claire. I’m a new member again (I joined a few years back, fell off from using the app, and I’m back again with a vengeance lol). I’m on a 50+ day streak. In about 8 weeks I’ve gone down 15.1 pounds and for the first time in my 34 years of being on Earth, have joined a gym. I’m about 10 pounds shy of my goal weight of 145 pounds. What’s truly more important to me than the number on the scale is feeling better, stronger, faster and healthier. I joined a gym about a year ago and would go workout sporadically. In the last 8 weeks since I rejoined MFP, I’ve adopted a healthier diet and I workout 5 days of the week. A huge (small) accomplishment for me is how much water I’ve been drinking! I hate to admit it but I used to not drink water. I’d never choose water as my first option. Ever. And now I have my coffee in the morning and it’s water for the remainder of the day. I’ve been drinking at least 46oz every morning before it even hits 7am because I drink two 23.7 oz bottles while I’m at the gym every morning and I continue drinking water throughout the day. My skin has never been bad but it looks amazing now. People have been commenting on how clear and glowing my skin is! That’s just one of the benefits of drinking lots of water. I’m so excited to be here. Thought I’d finally say hello and I’d love to make friends on MFP so please don’t hesitate to send me a request!
