in Introduce Yourself
G'day! My name is Nat. I'm 40. I was part of this community back in 2018 as I needed to lose the weight I had gained after quitting smoking. Well, life happens. My relationship turned sour in 2019 when my health goals didn't match my partners, COVID hit and so did depression (for both of us). I started smoking again, and we eventually separated in 2020. Then I moved away and used alcohol as my vice and was more than 100kg (size 18/20) and on a path to destruction. At the end of 2021, I stopped drinking excessively and lost a lot of weight without trying. I am down to about 75kg (I don't have scales but used the ones at the pet shop a few months ago) and size 10/12. My goal here is to eat healthy, tone up, and be a size 8/10.

So I'm happy to chat, share recipes, hints tips and tricks. Tell me your story.

    Welcome back to the community.

    After you get your feet back under you a little bit, maybe come up with some more focused goals that are measurable. Make them as specific as possible. Make them challenging and also attainable. Develop good habits you cat stick with for the indefinite future.

    Never start smoking again!
