Hi all!
I just joined this group because I have lost my weight by eating plenty! I have spent this year so far maintaining (mostly) my 20kg weight-loss as I have had surgery and coping with some other family stuff. I still want to lose about 10kg more so I am recommitting to me and MFP!
I would like some more motivating friends who understand where I'm coming from with respect to not eating a restrictive, starvation diet. I don't get on to MFP on the computer much, particularly when live gets crazy (which is pretty much always - LOL!). I use my iPhone app therefore I mostly interact with friends and not on the forums. Plus, I seem to get really cross every time I go on the forums! I rarely post anything anymore, particularly because I don't subscribe to the starve and deprive yourself approach!
So, anyway, I'm looking for like-minded friends. I am a 42 year old mother of three. I live in Australia. I am now a runner and last season also completed two novice triathlons. Hoping to do more this coming season. I don't do enough strength training. I know I should be doing more. I eat as healthily as I can but I do eat anything and everything, including a frequent dose of 2 squares of Lindt 70% chocolate in the evening. My calorie allowance is currently set at 2000 but I keep that across the whole week (i.e. I log but don't eat my exercise calories - I find that quite often it is the day after a big workout that I need the extra cals and I'm trying to teach myself the 'right' amount to eat and exercise each day, at each meal, rather than jump around from day to day too much). I am hovering just above 70kg (154lb) but want to be somewhere around 62kg (137lb). I started at 90.5kg (199lb). I'm 160cm (5'3").
Thanks for reading! Friends? (((smiles sweetly)) :flowerforyou:
