in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys!

I've been on here since January 2013 but only stumbled across the wonders of the community page last week, and since then, many things have changed.
I am actively searching for some MFP buddies who will help motivate me and support me through the various stages I am going through. After going on a low calorie diet for a while, I realized it a) wasn't helping me consume enough nutrients to survive properly, b) I would binge every other weekend and whine for a whole week just trying to get back to where I was by purging, and c) I was unhappy because I was 'skinny-fat', not in shape... so yeah. Now I am working towards reaching TDEE level (week 1 of trying to get there!) and maintaining for about 8-12 weeks before making my cut in calories in a healthier way and work towards a new me.

In return, I hope I can help to motivate and support YOU, and as they say, the more the merrier, right? We can keep each other focused when discouraged and cheer each other on when a new goal has been reached.

Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, so along the way, we can trade healthy and delicious recipes, if you would like.

I look forward to everyone and anyone's requests :)

LizzyAlexandra

    I would like to be buddies! My biggest problem, I think, is that I really do love food, and I enjoy cooking. I just started attempting to lose weight this week so I'm still trying to get used to everything. I do work out, but I am worried that it won't be enough and that I'll slip up somehow. I've been looking for some healthy, low cal recipes that my husband will still eat so anything you have to share is appreciated!

    I'll attempt to motivate you if you do the same for me, please!

    As long as you eat healthy, exercise and have a balanced lifestyle, you should slip up :) I'll send you some recipes later on today, and hope they will be good.

    Always have a positive mindset, because that is a huge step in the right direction!
    Looking forward to being buddies

    If there are any questions, don't hesitate to message me. It took me some time to adjust as well, and would love to ease your struggles :)
    And of course I will motivate you!

    Quite a few posts since I last looked, difficult to quote all.

    Anyways, I am so excited to have so many people on board! Really looking forward to it.
    I have to run for the time being since a friend arrived for a couple of days and we are meeting up to have a chat, but I will get back to everyone regarding some great recipes, and we can do this together :)

    I need all the buddies I can get as well! I love to track what I eat and exercise. I love to share my food diary as well. I really holds me accountable if I know someone is viewing what I eat on a daily basis. Also love to see what others are eating and snacking on because it gives me ideas. Please feel free to add me. :)
