POST HERE to make new friends!!

Hi, Lexi!

I am on a health quest. I have struggled with chronic illness (fibromyalgia) for years and have made many halfhearted attempts at regaining control over my health, but unfortunately, it took losing my beloved Aunt a few months ago to really hit home the fact that I am not getting any younger and I can't afford to screw around anymore.

I do excellent with fitness - exercise is my happy place and I need very little accountability for it. Nutrition is my big challenge. I am currently participating in a diet beta test program. We did about a month of ketogenic eating, which I combined with intermittent fasting (8/16). I did really well with that once the keto flu passed, but diet phasing is a big part of the program so now we're onto a plant-based diet for a few weeks.

Hi! I've been around for a while. Lost 40lb between mid-2015 and 16. I started working last June and have since put on about 15lb. I've hopped on and off the wagon a few times between then and now, kept failing, but am finally into the flow of things again now.

Motivation is always welcome, especially after finding most of my friends from the start are not as active any longer.
