Hey Caoimhe, I'm Dan and new here. I love the T25 workouts and run occasional half marathons. Nothing got me over the hump until this app a couple weeks ago. Looking for motivating people to reciprocate with! Add me if you choose. Thanks!

I hit the diet wall too and started MFP 2 weeks ago. Amazing so far. But I can see the diet options decreasing and getting bored. New to this forum for 1 day. Feel free to add me. Sounds like similar frustrations.
