Okay those of you who got that little joke in the tile (I’m honestly usually not this hilarious), awesome. As an extra tip, I’m a gaming student… 😉 And very cheesy.

Hey all, my name is Annika but everyone calls me Nika. I’m 22 years old, turning 23 in February. I’m currently in China until late January 2014, after which I’ll move on to New Zealand to study in Auckland until June I think, and I’ll fly back home to the Netherlands late August 2014. So, I’m quite busy… 😉
Oh and I’m also a black belt ITF Taekwon-do.

Now the thing is, I’m too heavy. I lost weight before, and this isn’t the first time I’ve done IF, but after I got an injury at a tournament I got depressed and gained a LOT of weight. I am now facing losing around 25kg. Other diets haven’t helped me so far, so I’m turning back to IF.

I hope it’ll help, and I’ll see you guys around on the forums!

The forums are addictive yes! I always spend a few hours at work hovering and replying where I can.

Thanks Lizzy and Saffy for the encouragements and nice words! Sometimes it takes other people to bonk you on the noggin, telling you you’re good before you start thinking that way yourself again.
I was planning on starting exercise yesterday, but when I was walking home I felt a bit dizzy and absent. My feet were also acting a bit weird… so I decided to change my diet a bit as well, seeing how that can’t be good.

I’ve added carbs back in to my diet. I’m still going low carb, so I won’t eat bread, rice or noodles on a daily basis – but also having to give up fruit, some veggies and stuff like that left me feeling very deprived.

I’ll keep you guys posted! I’ve started a new topic for that by the way, Nudgin’ Nika. I think I put it in the weightloss thread… not even sure.

Thanks Piper! And likewise!

Gaming as in video games, Chrissie. It’s the bachelor I’m doing atm, Game Design & Development. So no, no gambling 😉
