Hello - want to maintain fitness and get lean!

Hey! My name is Victoria :)

Background regarding progress: In Feb 2017, I weighed 15 stone 5lbs (215lbs). Lost 1 stone (14lbs) in 2017. In 2018 so far I have lost 4 stones and 8 lbs (or 64lbs). Altogether I've lost 78lbs since my peak weight. Toning and getting lean is my goal now although admittedly my target weight is 126lbs.
I'm 165cm and CW is 9 stone 11lbs (or 137lbs).

My weight has always fluctuated but I've been overweight since the start of University (about 6 years or so) which went up/down over the years and I was morbidly obese at 215lbs in Feb 2017.

I went travelling for a few months earlier this year which did me the world of good and I really learned to love healthy food and appreciate/care about my body.

I enjoy sports and keeping fit now though I still have a way to go in improving my overall ability, motivation/pushing it and stamina.

I try and walk daily, swim and boulder weekly and have recently started running aswell as re-starting strength training (squats, push-ups etc.) I would like to explore yoga/pilates but have no idea where to start with that.

Would be great to connect to support eachother!

    It's worth mentioning the weight loss was completely down to diet (healthier food and portion sizes) and exercise. I did NOT have any surgery. I did lose most of the weight this year so I'm keen to tone.

    Oh and I'm 28yo if that's relevant!
