Hi! I'm 34, 5'9" on welfare. I'm literally starving and still not losing weight because the only food I can afford is nutritionally void, but full of calories! X(
I live in a basement apt with low ceiling and no good workout space but I really like workout videos like TurboFire and I don't like going outside to jog or whatever cos it's not a good neighbourhood.
I'm a trans* woman, pansexual, polyamorous, and trying to go vegan again as soon as I can figure out a way to eat healthy on $30/wk or get a job with enough income to eat properly.
I don't judge anyone on their methods or choices, but I'm trying to find that invisible balance between eating as little as possible while still getting the nutrients I need and the energy to work out. I don't subscribe to "superfoods" because I either can't afford them and/or can't find them. I live in a rough neighbourhood in Toronto without access to good grocery stores or good transportation.
So, what I'm hoping for here is anyone relatively similar on one of these points, and/or are just helpful at motivating me to stick to it and check in regularly.
Hit me up with a friend request, and you get bonus points if you're in Toronto and wanna meet up for coffeee or a walk or something some time.

Dried or canned beans, eggs, cheese, and nuts are all good sources of protein. Frozen fruit & veg are cheaper than fresh—and just as nutritious. I'm less hungry when I use MFP's protein & fiber goals as minimums and ignore fat & carbs. It will take trial & error to find what works for you.
Take "before" photos & measurements. And read the Sexypants post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants0
