Hi All! My name is Lucy.
I'm an on again off again MFP user. Really hoping to stick with it this time and actually achieve some weight loss goals!
I was about 70kg in school (seems light years ago) but my weight ballooned to 85kg when I was hit with GF & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :( I hovered around this weight for the better part of a decade but more recently (due in part to medications but more so to a bad diet and minimal physical activity) I have crept up to the mid 90s :o I don't want my weight to keep creeping up and have to put a stop to this!
At the moment the I'm just aiming to be healthier. Eat better, move more.
I'm on a new found streak of motivation and hoping to keep it going longer term.
Cheers to new friends, support and motivation :)

    Hi Lucy,
    I'm from Australia also, 27 years old and had Glandular Fever years ago and have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the last 2 years :( I've used MFP on and off for years as well, starting off in the 80's and got down to 65kg then put it all back on again, had done this a couple of times now! This time I'm mid 80's and hoping to get back to 65kg eventually. I'm currently just counting calories and doing light exercise (mainly walking) as I am too exhausted to do the kind of exercise I use to be able to do!

    Sydney-sider here!
    I too have been knocked back by illness recently, and am now 10kg more than I'd like to be.
    I too get exhausted fairly easily as I try climb back out of this rut, but with 30 minutes of light walking a day to begin with is a start back in the right direction!
    I know it seems hard to start, but it gets easier, if never easy, but it's worth it!
