I've Been Here A While...

I'm 26 and I've been on MFP for quite a long time. My ex got me started on here and at first I thought it was something of a joke to log everything I ate and when I worked out. I've been struggling with my weight- and more specifically my fitness level - my whole life. Since that relationship ended, I've gone from being fit but big, to losing weight quickly and unhealthily, to being almost completely inactive. I've recently re-dedicated myself to getting fit and healthy and I'm looking for a new support community.

A few weeks ago I started working out again like crazy. I go to the gym almost every day, usually for 2 -2.5 hours. My cardio of choice is the elliptical and stationary bike for now. I also utilize the weight machines to help build muscle and tone. If I don't go to the gym I make sure to work out some other way, usually biking, kayaking, playing basketball with my family, etc.

I'm working on losing 75 lbs and would like to talk to other people who want to become healthy and fit as well as losing weight. I'd like to swap tips and stories with others who strive to live a very active lifestyle.

Take care and good luck everyone!
