in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Holly and I'm 25 years old. I've been using MFP for a month now, I've managed to lose 14 lb and have recently also started following a vegan diet.
I am a student, and am forever looking for cheap, tasty, healthy options!

I've been overweight for years now and tried all kinds of crash dieting and extreme exercise which never worked. By accurately tracking my exercise and calorie intake, I realised how badly I've been treating my body!

I don't go to the gym or do any special classes, but I do use Kinect's "Fitness Evolved" three times a week minimum and work in a busy kitchen twice a week. Kinect has been suprisingly effective, I love it!

I'm looking especially for other vegan and veggie friends and more people in the UK with about the same amount of weight to lose! Let's all support each other!

    Hi,

    I'm from England, too, but I have lived in US for a long time. I used to be 100% vegetarian, but now I occasionally eat fish and turkey when my body asks for it.

    I'll send you a FR :)

    Thanks Lucy! Where are you from in the UK? Where did you move to in the US? Have you found it harder to eat healthier in the US? When I was 17 I went to the USA for about 7 weeks, came back with an added 25 lb!

    Hi Holly,
    I'm Miranda, also 25 and from Kent, ohh and I'm a Veggie. I don't each Cheese, but do have eggs and a little bit of milk, so I'm not far off being a Vegan! :)
    I've only joined up a couple of days ago and struggling a bit to stick within calories!
