    Helllooooo.

    I'm new and would love some friends for motivation!

    I've fiddled with MFP for a couple of years, but seriously started tracking about a week ago. I have never seriously dieted or worked out to lose weight. In high school I played competitive hockey for my local and my school team and taught swimming lessons several times a week, so I never really worried what I ate. In university I was still active in sports a coupe of times a week, but obviously I packed the pounds on with late night pizza runs, boozing and lots of sitting and studying. The jobs I've worked recently required long hours and had provided food, so it was hard to control exercise and food intake. But not anymore. Now I'm cooking for myself and enjoying some time off. I'm also trying to find my groove with exercising for fitness. Previously I was active because I enjoyed sports. Now I don't have the time to commit to a season with sports but try to play pick every once in a while. I also try to drink lots of water, cut down on the fatty foods, and avoid eating after 8pm.
