My Little Introduction

[tawnylioness]

Hello there, My name is Crystal, i am 30 years old from Australia...,  i love rpg games and i have played a few online games. currently playing neverwinter while biding my time for elder scrolls and ffrr.

 

i decided i wanted to lose weight about 5 years ago after a particually bad year living in a bedsit eating nothing but rubbish, and i gained 15kgs...  i rejoined taekwondo, and started using the wii fit... i lost weight but then had two kids... last year i was back down to 58kgs but now im back up to 68kgs and i have no kidea why the rebound.. im quite upset about it... so a few months ago i started calorie counting, but i realised i dont really overeat.... talked to some people on MFP who suggested i force myself to eat 1700cals, but that diddnt do anything...except make me hate eating... so i ate at 1200cals and did the 5:2 diet but i had no changes either.... so now i have joined a gym, and cut out carbs from my diet except for one day a week as alot of my meals are potato, rice and spagetti... i am quite a fussy eater, alot of foods i dont like. so here i am, going to the gym everday and following the weight workouts on my phone app coz i dont really know what im doing, and not eating spagetti

 

so um yeah... thats me...nice to meet you all

Maybe it's not the amount of calories you take in but the quality of them. I cut out refined sugar and doubled by fruit and vegetable intake. Now, I can eat a higher quantity of food, and I probably eat half the calories (though I do have a thread going about how many I'm actually getting). All that being said, welcome
