in Introduce Yourself
I'm lyndsay, 24 and from the north east of England.
Ive been using myfitnesspal for almost 2 years now and so far I've managed to lose 75lbs logging foods and with good old Jillian Michaels dvds. Now I'm smaller then Ive been since I was 14/15 but I'm not finished. Since I met my boyfriend in February I've fallen back into old habits, gained 20lbs from my smallest ever weight and barely exercised in months.

I need this to change, people are noticing the weight gain and I feel awful and I really want to get back into this, not so much focused on weight loss (although that is the eventual goal) but more on eating healthier in general and exercising regularly. Ideally I'd like to be under 200lbs by the end of the year and theres a possibility of running a 10K in July (the day of my birthday actually, only 6 weeks away!) and I need some support and motivation with this. I decided for a complete fresh start to open a new account and do this from scratch again.

I'd love some support and help with motivation along the way and will obviously return the favour.

    Hi :)

    I just deleted my old account and started a new one as of yesterday as well :) I have made too many excuses for far too long and was knocked off my progress of weight loss due to the hectic schedule of nursing school. Well graduation just came and went so now its time to buckle down and get back to being not so fat anymore lol. My son is very high energy and I want to be able to keep up with him. Sad thing is, kids have no internal filter....so he points out that my tummy is big---not to mention a couple of ladies at the nursing home i work at ask me if i am pregnant(funny, but not funny ya know). So add me if you like....lets buckle down and do this :)

    I don't want to say its a new account for me, I like to think of it as a new beginning. I have always delayed and made excuses as to why I was over weight, but it came down to me being motivated. I witnessed a co-worker taken away in ambulance due to heart problems ( he is ok btw) and that is the only motivation I needed. I started eating vegetables fruits and then did this weird thing called exercise. I cant say Im doing great But I have lots 6 lbs and on my way to my goal.
