in Introduce Yourself
I recently started using MFP. about 2 weeks ago.
I am from New Jersey, USA. I live in Japan now. you can read my bio for other info and hobbies etc.
Been here for 4 years. I'm pretty much a vegetarian. Have been thin all my life..but since 2008 have really put on weight.
I have been experiencing problems with muscle fatigue and chronic pain. Exercise is not easy. Every thing is challenging.
Recently I cut out colas..and all drinks with any added sugars. the only 'fruit' juice i drink is freshly squeezed lemonade. or grapefruits. i live with 4 people who have no special diet and are meat eaters. i could use some friends that have 'diet' going on.

If anyone lives in japan and you feel inclined please add me. i'd prefer people who understand the value of friendships and help motivate each other. Any one outside of japan is welcome too.
supporting each others lifestyle. oh and swapping recipes is good too. its difficult to cook in japan because some ingredients are very hard to find here. unless of course you're making japanese food. ^^

i don't need 100 friends on my list. just a few sincere people.

    Hello! I am interested in more vegetarian dishes so I am hoping you'll be sharing your food journal.

    I am envious that you live in Japan! I was born in Japan but have never been able to go,back and see it. One day I will. And I love Japanese food. :)

    Congrats on cutting out soda and the sugary drinks. I know that can be very difficult.

    I recently have been trying to eat cleaner and have been enjoying it actually. I am in the kitchen cooking a lot more and constantly looking for new recipes to try out.
