in Introduce Yourself
so this isnt my first time falling off the bandwagon, but hopefully the last. I'm 22, 5'6, and 216 lbs. my heaviest was 222, and quite a few factors have contributed to my weight gain. I was an active kid, stopped sports, gained a little weight. then hit university and began to stress eat, sat down a lot more (studying) and got into a car accident which completely limited my abilities. I'm finally back in good working condition, and have graduated from my studies. I will be a REgistered nurse after writing my registration exam. I managed to land a camp nurse job in order to get to stay outside and do lots of physical activities to support my weight loss. I've taken an interest in lifting weights, but i have no idea where to begin, and i feel i should lose some fat first before lifting heavy. So MFP, I'm starting again, and hopefully for the last time.
Add me as a friend if you have similar goals/started at a similar point or want to motivate eachother

    I'm adding you. I'm back after not logging in for a couple months, and it seems like all of my friends have been slipping too. I think I need some new people to keep me motivated!
