Hello everyone!

My name's Shirik, I'm 25 and looking to start this New Year by kicking all my old habits and trying to slim down a bit!

I'm doing this mostly to try and be healthier - most people in my family have type 2 diabetes due to being overweight and I'm on the borderline for it as well so I want to sort myself out!

I'm looking forward to chatting with you all, sharing support and sharing recipes!
