Introducing myself...
Hello all,
I have been a regular lurker here for some time and thought it time to say hi. I am a 28 year old Londoner and mature student, intending to be at a 'normal weight' (at least to have a healthy BMI) before I am thirty. I have been overweight all of my adult life, my lowest weight being about 166 and highest 220.
For the past 7 weeks I have been following a great plan, based on eradicating food intolerances and also attempting to heal candida and other health problems. It has been working well - I have lost 17lb (possibly more - weigh in tomorrow!), I am feeling great and my attitude has shifted from concentrating only on the scales and how I look, to thinking about health, and wanting to make this a permanent life change and to have great health.
In 2006 I hope to regain my fitness - at various times in my life I have been extremely fit, but have a tendency to become obsessive around exercise and food (that old all-or-nothing approach!), so I want to take it easy. My fitness goals are to have a lean strong body, and become adept at yoga. Long term, I would love to take up the Brazilian martial art/ sport/ ritual of Capoeira and to dance.
So, looking forward to getting to know you all, and giving and receiving support.
Much love,
Luna
