looking for some healthy lifestyle motivation

Hi there everyone,

I'm a 24 year old graduate student, originally from Canada, but living in the UK. Life in the books has been taking its toll on my body and my mind -- I'm about 30 lb over my ideal weight, and find myself buying new clothes all the time because the old ones don't fit anymore. I've decided that I need to make a change, get back on track, and start living my life in a sustainable way. Feel free to say hi or add me as a friend -- I don't really know how this site works but I'm willing to give it a go.

MD
