Finally going to intro myself! :D

nikkitodhunter

Been on here since 20th of May, and lurked in the forums a bit, but never got round to properly introducing myself!

Soo, I'm 5"2, 18 years of age.

I did join mfp about a year ago on a different account but fell off the wagon/got bored....then I was around 110lbs. I think I just got bored/wasn't motivated and stopped logging...but then in may I decided I really did want to slim down a tad and tone up. I must've learned some god habits from my previous stint on here 'cos when I started again in May I was 106lbs. Now I'm on around 99lbs - finally got the scales to creep down to 7 stone which is nice after hovering between 7.5 and 8 for a long while!

Anyway, I may start eating at maintenance soon because I don't want to lose condition, but right now I'm aiming for around 1300-1400 cals per day (my TDEE is usually around 1700-1800).

I took up running when I joined, and today just ran for a solid 20 mins for the first time - as someone who used to only just make it to 12 mins (I'm a short distance runner, not a fan of endurance never have been :L) I'm really proud of that!!

Could do with some more friends to chat to on here, too, as the few I have now aren't very social ): so feel free to add me if you have similar stats/interests (running, using housework and cooking as a workout :P, desperately trying to keep the lid on sugar intakes!!) put a little message so I know who you are

Hi: My name is Victoria & I am 67 years old, still working full time! Sounds like you are doing well, feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I have lost six lbs and love this program, it just feels good to know other people are out there doing the same thing!

Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm the same age as you and I just joined close to the beginning of this month. I'm only an inch taller than you and I really wish I could get my weight down (I weighed about 145 the last time I checked). It's not that I look bad, I don't have that "fat" look where weight just accumulates in one area, and I have a little bit of a waist, but I'm big all over. I'm really kind of muscular too, especially in my thighs, but because I also have fat the muscles aren't visible. lol. I also have a problem with sugar intake! For workouts I usually just dance. I don't have a scale of my own at home because it broke. XD Anyway feel free to add me if you like because I could use some more friends, I gave MFP up for about a week simply because I was bored with it and it kept telling me that I wasn't eating enough (which was probably true because I don't like to eat a lot). Best regards, Melissa.
