Default Hi everyone!

Hi! I'm Victoria, I'm 20. Here's my story. It's a bit long but, oh well.

A few months ago I decided to join the running club at uni. Aaaand that ended up being one of the biggest decisions I made this year, as it introduced me into fitness culture, eating healthier and it more or less changed my lifestyle completely.

Before that, I was really sedentary. Like, I used to spend 80% of my waking hours sitting in class or in front of a computer.

Then I started attending the running club and fell in love with it. I didn't think it would make a great impact in my life, as it was only once a week. But without noticing I lost some weight too, my clothes started fitting better, I felt healthier.

Two months ago I decided to start tracking my weight loss, and after some research I bumped into this forum (which helped me a lot, you're amazing, girls).

Now I keep attending the running club and I added some extra cardio and HIIT routines during the week. Also, I've been in a slight calorie defficit for a few weeks, tracking macros and that (it really helped me notice I consumed a lot of empty calories with my snacks).

I've lost 11 pounds since September, but I think the biggest change so far is my waist: I lost four inches off my waist in two months!!!

That's all for now. I'm happy to be part of this forum!

(Also, English is not my first language, sorry for any mistake!)
