Hi Everyone! *waves*

Hi Everyone,

I'm a long time lurker of MFP forums, a first time poster

I'm 23, work full time and I'm from Australia, I love to bake and cook (which is probably why I'm here in the first place haha) as well as travel when I can, socialise with friends and and manage serious retail therapy addiction haha.

After a lot of fad diets and yo-yo weight changes over the past 5 years, i'm finally realising that eat less and move more is all I really need to do, alongside not giving up and persevering! So far I've lost nearly 4 kilos in the last 3 and a half weeks since using my fitness pal properly, trying to stick to 1200 calories a day and getting to the gym at least 3-4 times a week. Ideally i'd like to lose another 20-25kg, but my main goal is to feel healthier and happier, which is already happening!
