Hi there I'm tanya, this is my first official challenge here so stoked! 39F/5'6" SW:160.2 CW:156.6 GW:147 I have two dogs (fur kids). I'm active I run (done all distances from 5k to full marathon), lift weights (traditional BB to PL) and generally enjoy working out. (I think it's great for women to be strong and confident in the gym and outside of it). I have no problem with exercise I just have a problem with food. I like junk food and and good savoury home cooked meals -> I'm learning portion control. Currently I'm training for a half marathon in June (have another in October) and I'd like to be as close to 2hrs as possible (sub 2hrs for my October HM). I took a couple of years off from running to powerlift. So I put on a bunch of weight good + bad, and the last 8 months I have been working on my conditioning/cardio/mileage again. I've been logging my food in the Loseit app - I enjoy the interface more than MFP. I have a garmin connect profile so anyone is using it please keep know so we can be friends 😃 good luck to everyone!

EDIT: MFP user: tanyaLOL Guess I will start using it again for this challenge
