Hey all ! New to the forum, I figured I would introduce myself. Everyone calls me Manou, I'm 20 years young, and like many of you, I want to get in shape after ALOT of binging ^^' . In December, I attempted to bike ride route 66 (hence the profile picture) , and a tendonitis got in the way of the trip. When I got back home there wasn't a minute where I wasn't eating, almost to the point that I wanted to hurl because I was so full (Thanks Chips Ahoy ! ). Waking up with 25 pounds gained 'just like that' , was a punch in the face. My mom saying " WOAH I have never seen you so heavy ! " . Realizing that I couldn't even do pushup ( still barely can ^^) or that I get tired after dancing 5 minutes with friends. Any who , at 158 lbs I changed my diet little by little, and started to cook everything, especially filling veggies (Eggplant, Zuchinni...), and I joined Weight Watchers. Since last week I started being active, biking, running, and some strength exercises. So far I lost 14 lbs in 2 1/2 months and I still have 20 to go ( I have never been at that weight so that would be reeealllyyy cool ! ) I get that its a long introduction but I want to be a part of the forum, because I think motivation is key, and it's my first time on any forum ! Thanks for reading and if anyone has advice or has any motivational stories I would love to read them !
New comer with a head start !
