Back at it...Again
Hi Everyone, I was on MFP for about 2 years, then I realized I was almost TOO obsessed with calories/macros so I decided to take a step back and took about 8 months off from tracking, which I think was great for me.

Definitely need motivation
So I'm 23 and in grad school, I would definitely say by no means am I "overweight" or anything like that, but I would definitely like to shed a few pounds and get back in shape, for myself. I have a lot of family history of weight problems and weight associated diseases/disorders on both sides of my family, so I've decided…
