:smile: Hi my name is Ash :-)

My quick little story is that in January 2011 I decided to make a lifestyle change and wanted to lose 10kg! I reached my goal in a matter of a couple of months but still wasn't happy and decided I wanted to develop more muscle definition (tone) and become healthier and fitter!

Since the beginning, I have currently lost 15kg in total and lost body fat percentage and gained muscle mass. I got to a point where I was very healthy and happy with my body and in Dec last year I decided to stop calorie counting and to maintain my healthy regime etc. It was working great!

Recently I broke up with my long term (9 year) relationship and have had my whole life turned upside down! Although I have continued with my exercise and training and eating a relatively healthy diet, I have had multiple slip ups and have decided I need to take back control over one of the only things I can control in my life right now! So I have decided to come back to calorie counting and get serious about my healthy eating regime again!

I am really looking for regular MFP loggers who are active and supportive people to add to my MFP group (originally I only had people I knew on my page with open diaries but I am currently just looking for people who will be supportive and encouraging, as well as makes me take more responsibility for my eating choices. :) If you are one of these people, I would love to have you on my page & I will be just as supportive in return :smile: :smile:

This was me a couple of months ago when I was feeling my best! I want to get back here again & i know along with my exercise regime, it all comes down to diet "ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN!"

    Add me.....I log every day and I make comments on diaries from time to time. Accountability is key even when we don't like to hear it.

    Hi Ash, my name's Josey. I've been on MFP for a while, but I'm also looking to get back on track. I lost 10lbs a couple of years ago on Weight Watchers, and have maintained that healthier weight. I'm fairly slim because I run and go to the gym regularly, but my diet isn't always healthy when I get busy with work. I know what you mean by slip-ups! I'm trying to lose another 10 lbs by reducing sugary foods (which I think is a good permanent lifestyle change anyway). I am back to logging every day. You seem really nice. Let's be MFP friends!

    Hi Ash,
    I'm wanting to re-commit to mfp and log each day so having friends who can motivate me (and I can help them) would be great! :smile:
