Looking for friends with open diaries :)

Options
Hi all! I've been a MFP member for a few years now, but just seriously started using it in the past several months. Down about 18 pounds so far. I gained a lot of weight through college and in the years after, now looking to get healthy. Around 200lbs currently so I need to lose quite a bit. I don't really have an end goal in mind, I'm just going to keep going until I feel better about myself and get comfortable in my skin again.

I don't stick to one particular diet, just trying to stay within my calorie goal each day. I try to be flexible with my food choices so I don't feel deprived...that is what has driven me to quit tracking in the past. I'm NOT focused on losing the weight as fast as humanly possible, but instead want to build healthy, sustainable habits that I can continue into the foreseeable future. If it takes me longer to lose weight because of that, so be it. If you are on a similar journey, please add me!

I'm especially looking to add friends who have their diaries open. I'm not here to judge other's choices, I just like to peruse other people's diaries for ideas when I get bored with food. :)

    I like friends with open diaries for that same reason, and it's the reason I have one. Feel free to add me!

    Feel free to add me this is a new profile as I’m starting afresh (there will be things that are “not good” in my diary but I’m learning and weaning myself off all the naughty foods lol) x

    Mine is open. Everyone is welcome to be my friend. I’ve lost 20 lbs so far and have at least 30 more to go. I eat junk, as long as it fits in my calorie goals.
