<human>: New to reddit, and /r/loseit. Sorry if this is a little long. 

On Sunday I (f22, 5'10) stepped on the scales for the first time in a long while, and, thinking it would make me feel better, got my boyfriend (m24, 6'3) to have a go too. Turns out we weighed exactly the same. Down to the fraction of the pound: (180lb). He's got hollow legs, and can eat anything, but I'm really starting to show my weight gain.

I used to be very active (going for a walk every day), but when I was 19 I was diagnosed with Post Viral Glandular Fever, and still haven't properly recovered. I started smoking when I got to University and it became a coping mechanism, but in 2015 I gave it up, and have been smoke free for 6+ months now (the smoking used to keep my weight down). 

Since Monday I've downloaded MyFitnessPal, cracked out the Wii Fit, gone on two runs, and one long walk. I've seen the tiniest of changes in my weight (now 12 st 9.5 lb) I know it's really early days, but I'm a little proud of myself. Just need to keep this up.

My aim is to get down to 145lb and see where to go from there. Does anyone know of any other things I can start doing/how to keep this up?
