Hi Everyone!! Thanks for reading! :)
I currently am looking to lose about 40 lbs. I recently started running, have already finished a 5k! Looking forward to new beginnings with running. I work full time and attend graduate school part time, so MFP is good for encouraging me to eat foods that fuel my body.
I am looking for support! I'm ready for this journey :)

    Great way to stay motivated. Working on improving your times and distance helps me with tracking and staying accountable for what I eat. Good Luck
