Here We Go...

Hi everyone...I'm 22 and mostly here to stay on track with what I'm eating and to start exercising! I have a bit of weight to lose but not too much - it's just that I'm tired of losing and gaining the same 10 lbs depending on my mood and comfort eating.

I started running about five years ago and I loved it, which surprised me because my whole life I've been very sedentary. I got up to running for 20 minutes at a time, and it was the best feeling in the world...but then I overdid it and hurt my hip (sciatica). Since then I've been really discouraged and demotivated to start again, but I'm sick of being jealous of runners, so here I am! I know I'm going to have to put in a lot more effort to strengthen my core and be really disciplined about stretching - sciatica never really goes away so you have to manage it well to be able to run. Wish me luck!
