in Introduce Yourself
Hello! My name is Tammy, and I've been a MFP user for almost one year now. Since starting, I lost approximately 30 lbs. (14 kg.). My goal weight is 115 lbs. (52 kg.) and I am currently 129-130 lbs. (59 kg.). My current BMI is approximately 24.5. After months and months of hard work, it feels great to finally hit that healthy weight zone, even just barely.

I'm looking for friends that are around 18-25 (give or take a couple years) that have open diaries, log often, and are not constantly going under their calorie goal. When I started, I swore by 1200 calories a day (or less!), and I admit, I lost weight but it came with a price. I was unhappy, starving, and constantly low on energy. I've been seeing my university's nutritionist for advice, but since I'm currently out of school for the summer, I won't be able to see her until the fall. Recently, I've been trying to eat better, and include exercise in my everyday life. I'd really like friends that are dedicated to losing weight in healthy ways, are positive, and willing to give me advice on my diet. My diary is open to friends.

Note: I try to vary my diet as much as I can, but almost consider that I'm a college student living by herself with limited money for groceries.

Also, if anyone is interested in cosplay, please friend me! I'm secretly a huge anime nerd (amongst other things), and I've always wanted to cosplay at a convention. It would really motivate me if I could find some people that have the same hobbies.

Thanks for reading!
Also if possible, send a message with your friend request. I'd be more likely to accept if you did. It also helps if you have profile pictures of yourself available.

    Haha I don't cosplay, but I've always seriously admired the amount of effort put into the outfits. I also secretly enjoy anime though!

    My name's Alison and I'm 19! I'm new here, but my diary's totally open and I've been doing some research to try and get this weight loss thing off the ground. I'll send you a message; it's nice to meet you! (:

    Hi
    Feel free to add me. I log daily now since to stay on track of my weight loss goal of additional 10-15lbs. Also getting shape for a fitness competition next year. I'm always changing my eating habits to see what works best for me.
