in Introduce Yourself
Hey folks! Like most of you all, I'm looking to get healthier by eating clean and moving more. I'm taking my winter break from school to get a jump start on this health kick but I don't want to get caught off-guard when I return to school (and hopefully work..)

I love to cook. Hate to do push ups. And I'm looking for friends to maybe make this a long-term lifestyle change instead of a diet! Here's to the New Year!

    Best of luck to you.... I love cooking, too... I'll be having to learn to make some more healthy foods, I guess.

    I'm right there with you! I've tried multiple times to make it stick but haven't had a buddy so maybe that's my problem? Anyway, I'll send you a friend request.

    You're right on target! It also doesn't help that my SO is 6'5'' and a furnace when it comes to food. Nothing like a bad influence!

    I'm 23, graduated in May so not too long ago I was struggling through college trying to stay healthy. I eat pretty clean most days, some days I try to make the best of some potentially unhealthy situations. I too hate pushups, but one of my goals is to learn to love them, or at least be good at them. And I LOVE cooking... I swear if I could go back and the economy was decent I'd go to culinary school! Anyway, feel free to add me!

    HI there! I'm new to MFP as well. I'm in grad school and I've found that it can be hard to stick to your goals when you're so busy as a student- but I know we can all do it! Let's keep the motivation going and support one another!
