Hi everyone! :smile:

I've been on MFP for a while but have only recently started actively using it to log foods and supplement my fitness journey. I'm 22 (woot woot! where the 90s babies at?), 5'7", weigh in at 158, and am looking to lose around 10 or so more pounds and change my entire lifestyle from sedentary to healthy and active. After not being able to run a mile less than a year ago, I'm proud to report that last Sunday I ran 10k (6.2 miles) to prep for the Nike Women's Half marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at the end of April. I couldn't have possibly come to this point without the motivation of my trainers and team, and I hope to be able to give some of that positive support to others!

...Not to mention, I need it sometimes. I just broke down and ate 2 snack bags of Fritos at work. Oh well, it's like that sometimes. I'll step up and be better tonight ;).

Anyway, HELLO! Nice to meet you - and feel free to add me as a friend. :love: We can all do this!

    Welcome! I also am 22 and was unable to run a mile a year ago. Not the case anymore! I sent you a friend request.
