Hey guys,

I have been using MFP off and on for a while now but three weeks ago I really sat down and decided to commit to a healthier lifestyle. For the majority of my life I was overweight due to poor eating habits at home, but come high school i cracked down and lost 20 lbs. Since then I have been fairly active and in decent shape until university came along and packed ten pounds on me. I'm 5-6 and 145 lbs, not looking to lose a ton of weight, just looking to tone up and adopt healthier eating habits. One of my biggest lifestyle changes has been cutting out all processed foods from my diet, and I feel a million times healthier since making that change.

Anyways, I'm open to friend requests from anyone who needs support or is willing to give it, but my goals are centered around a healthy lifestyle and toning up as opposed to quick and massive weight loss.

Good luck to everyone!

    Isn't it amazing how you feel after you cut out the crappy foods? When I did that, I couldn't believe how much better I felt. I'm gonna send you a friend request and quick message! :D

    I just cut out junk food and have made my portion sizes smaller. I'm training for a 10km in a few weeks time. I'm also 19, just looking for advice and someone to share stories with! Trying to loose 5kgs
