in Introduce Yourself
Hello people!

Nice to be here - I'm really glad to have found this site. You're welcome to add me :)

I've always had an unhealthy relationship with food (spending pocket money on pringles and eating the whole tub in one go anyone?!) I've decided enough is enough! I've just turned 25 and want to make a positive change.

I've joined my fitness pal so that I can keep track of what I'm eating, to monitor my progress and to have a supportive community for any questions/help with reaching my goal.

I'm a vegetarian (including no fish/seafood) and try to avoid dairy too. I'm just about to start Jillian Michael's 30 day shred.

Hope I can be of help and encouragement to others on this journey!

    Thanks guys!

    mangomango: how are you getting on with 30DS? I haven't started yet - today's the day! (after work)

    sarahf3092: Pringles have the most accurate slogan ever; once you pop you really can't stop!

    Montarosa456: Hi! Me too :) how long have you been a veggie?

    p.s. I have moved on from the pringles problem of my youth - my current problem is baklava (little middle eastern nut & honey pastries = sugar and fat overload = delicious!)

    Welcome to MFP! It's great on here :-)
    I'm 25 and from the UK too.
    I started 30 day and and got about half way through before I got bored but I would say if you can stick with it it's well worth it!
    Days 1-4 are pretty sore but then from day 5 the aches go away!
    Best of luck and feel free to add me :-)

    Hey there, add send. I'm 31 from Glasgow and on L1D4 of the 30DS. Lost 12lb since I started on the site, still got a looooong way to go. Not a veggie, but just don't eat a lot of meat through choice, so hopefully you can inspire me with your diary!

    Hi, I'm 20 and from the UK. I have started 30 day shred before and only got to about day 4, I was working full-time though so was so tired all the time. Definitely going to try it again! I have a bit more than you to lose (53lbs). I've added you, please anybody else feel free to add me, joined yesterday. x
