Hi :)

I have had a MFP account for a while but I'm finally looking to take control and get serious to improve my unhealthy relationship with food and lose some of this weight!

Over the past year my weight has fluctuated dramatically and I finally hit my goal weight this Summer...but I moved in with my mates and bf recently and he has been encouraging me to eat more and gain weight - unfortunately this lead me into an unhealthy eating cycle and has lead to too much weight gain and a lot of podgyness especially around my middle and thighs :/

Anyways Im a student and looking to improve my diet and get healthy and hopefully in the process lsoe those extra pounds weighing me down.
Im gluten-free vegetarian (on/off vegan but looking to try vegan again as I always feel more energetic with loads of fresh fruit and veg)

Would love to make new supportive friend here too :)

Drop me a message anytime

    Welcome ! Best of luck in your journey. I just started about 100 days ago and have lost 31 lbs so far - feeling very motivated and happy with my progress so far. I log EVERY day!

    Welcome back! Feel free to add me! Happy to give support whenever you need it. I'm sure you already know this, but the best way to improve you diet is to first log what you are currently eating so you can literally see what needs to be changed. And while I'm not a vegetarian, I sure do love my fruits and veggies, too! Good luck on your journey!

    Thanks a lot!
    I remember the last time I used a food diary log thing it really really helped, I became so aware of everything I was eating - I just need to get back into that habit!
    I have also started juicing a lot of fruit and veg to get more of all that goodness!
