Hello! Having a fresh start :)

Hi everyone! I'm Caroline, 34 year old married mum of 2 girls from/living in the UK. I'm a primary school teacher working full time whilst trying to balance parenting, a house and life in general so I don't have the energy to constantly think about what I can and can't have so I'm hoping that this approach will work well for me again.

I've been around the block a few times when it comes to dieting but ultimately, the best thing that's ever worked for me is calorie counting. So I've ditched Slimming World and decided to have a fresh start with calorie counting so I've started a new account but to be honest, everyone I had on my old account has long since stopped using MFP. I've got a fair amount of weight that I want to lose but I'm going for a slow and steady approach this time, no pressure, no goals, just keep going and see what happens.

I've recently made the move to vegetarianism, although we take a flexi approach. This is mostly for health reasons but also ethical/environmental ones, although I'm not precious about it and won't judge anyone else for their choices, it just means my diary will be full of veggie packed meals.

I'd love to connect with some people on this journey and give each other ideas, inspiration and support.
