Introducing... ME! (Looking for support)

Hey everyone!

My name is Bridget and I am a 19 year old (almost 20!!!) University student. My battle with body issues began when I was in elementary school and has followed me ever since. I am currently the healthiest and happiest I have ever been, and am using MFP to keep it that way. I am looking to add people to keep myself accountable and motivated. I don't use MFP to track my exercise. I only use it as a tool to keep track of what I am eating, my calorie intake, and my macros.

In terms of exercise, I am at the gym everyday unless I physically cannot get out of bed. I do a lot of different things, but most recently I have been dabbling in the world of lifting and serious strength training. I also do my fair share of cardio, usually in the morning before classes or to get my heart rate up before doing strength training. I fell in love with Insanity last year, however I broke my ankle and have not done it since. I do however still do a fair share of HIIT.

Height: 6 foot 1
CW: 181
GW: 165
BF%: 25

My HW was over 200 (excessive partying and eating in first year of Uni did not spare me).

So if you are looking for a friend/motivator/support system and we have similar routines, I would love to hear from you!!

Bridget

    Hi Bridget!!
    Support might just be what I need right now. Almost 2 years ago I lost around 50 lbs and felt great, had my endurance back and self esteem...life was grand. I've seen then gained about 10lbs back and have just gotten complaisant with my eating and calorie tracking. I desperately want the extra pounds gone, but more importantly I want my fit body back! I have signed up for 3 runs/adventure races this year and need to get in shape as the 1st one is in 3 weeks! Eek. Anyway...
    I too am: 6'1"

    I've started counting my calories again and really watching what I'm eating, but I need to be more active. I work retail and have two kids that are very active in sports. My hubby helps when he can, but it's mainly up to me. I do have a gym membership, but I rarely get there more than once a week. Although I go hard every time switching it up each time, but I mainly do cardio.
    Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and wish you good luck!!
