Hi MFPers, I'm new!

Hello Everyone!

I just joined MFP this weekend and I'm pretty stoked on the site. The forums are great and everyone seems very positive and supportive. I'm looking for some new friends on here in my similar age-range (I'm 22!) or who have wisdom and know-how, who want to swap exercises and recipes, or who are just over all supportive and great! If you'd like to add me, please do!

I've been overweight my whole life, but I was also a very competitive athlete, so I've always been on the more active side. It's been a year since my sports career has ended and I have noticed a big change in my body (so much less muscle and definitely more on the lumpy and bumpy side of things). Additionally I've gained a significant amount of weight the past few years, especially with added stresses of writing a thesis last year and dealing with a lot of family drama. I've decided to fully commit to losing weight and getting fit because I miss being an athlete and because I want to feel comfortable in my body.

Excited to meet you all and I hope everyone had a healthy and productive day :]
