Finding Additional Like-Minded Friends

Just started using Community features recently and have found a wide variety of great MFP friends. Would love to add more to my support network, hopefully some that have similar interests and approaches to this "thing we are doing".

Here are some specific facets to my life in which I would like to find ongoing support and motivation. Feel free to add me if you're in the same boat or if you have successfully dealt with some of these!

* I work full-time in a desk job and really want to find ways to improve my daily activity level.
* I work out 3-4 times a week. Currently doing a "boot camp" and yoga, but interested in trying new things.
* I LOVE to both eat and cook, but I am working very hard to eat as healthfully and naturally as possible. I try to avoid artificial sweeteners and fried/fast food.
* I believe more in the "IPOARM"/Eat more Weigh Less methods of calculating daily calorie intake, as opposed to eating very restricted calories.
* I have been overweight my whole life, therefore it's hard for me to say whether "no food taste as good as being thin feels". I know it's probably true, but that's just to say that it's hard to imagine what life as a skinny person is really like. Sometimes I think it might be kinda scary for me.
