Thought I'd Introduce Myself

Hey everyone,
I've been on this MyFitnessPal for a while and never really used it properly but feeling more inclined to do it so here's a bit of my story

I've been losing weight since I was about 11/12. I started to gain weight after losing my auntie and also leaving school to become homeschooled - a mixture of comfort eating and not enough exercise.
I began losing weight by cutting out fizzy drinks and chocolate ect. and soon began to lose weight To exercise I would use fitness DVD and Wii games!
I was nearly a size 16 and by this routine I went down to a size 10-12 by the time I was 14.
However, since hitting 15/16 and now here I am at 18 I've given myself a stricter routine suchas - mainting a certain diet - try to be high in fibre and not many treats, and by hitting the gym 2-3 times a week and running 2 miles or more each day.
I got into running by training for Race For Life and finishing the 5K in 44 minutes, I hope to do it again next year and beat my time!

My motivation right now is to look good for some upcoming concerts
- seeing Jane McDonald (from Loose Women) in concert a few times this year and want to look my very best seeing as my friend and I run her unofficial fanpage TeamJMD on twitter

Anyway I have rambled on enough! Hope to talk to some of you soon!
