Trying To Change My Life

Hello everyone!
I am a returnee to this app, after having a couple years off. I am 20 years old from Australia, and I'm sick of what I see in the mirror.
When I was in year 12 at 17 years old, I was an average of 75kg (which was good for me). 3 years later and in my last year of uni, I am now nearly 90kg. I used to think kilo here, kilo there not that bad but then it escalated. I got pretty down, and I started to eat my emotions, especially when everything at uni is so easily accessible.
Now after yo-yo dieting, trying to get to the gym on a regular basis (but failing), and having being told by your mother that you need to lose weight, I'm really trying.
I need friends and motivation, which I totally lack! And any advice people have, I'm open to

Thankyou very much! I admit I'm a serial snacker so I'm trying to change that as well as choosing better food choices while I'm at uni0 -
I have had MFP for some time but never really used it properly. I'm looking for a like minded contact for mutual support. I don't do IF or extreme food rules, not really keen on a diet either really.0

Haha I hear you bout the diet tbh it's mostly for my exercise and just for mental notes bout what I should or shouldn't eat. Keep me on track0 -
Hey Annie, I hear you about the weight creeping on! I used to be in the 70kg zone in early high school but ballooned to 85kg when I was struck with GF & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I'd hovered around that weight for about a decade but a combination of bad diet, minimal exercise and medications saw me up in the mid 90s0

^cont... I've been an on off MFP user. I seem to have bursts of motivation to get healthier, eat better, be more active...but it would die off after a few weeks so I too would love more support and motivation from people on the same journey. Plus I'm an Aussie from NSW - add me if you like0
