Hi folks,

I've just started on mfp a few days ago - so far so good! I've lost 52lb since last July just by myself, no tracking or counting anything, but now I'm only about 20lb from goal everything has slowed down and I realise I need to pay attention to the details if I'm going to shift it! I've gone from a UK size 18-20 to 8-10, cw is 148 and I'm 5'1, so not quite done yet! I've been up and down with my weight a lot of my adult life but this time I'm actually going to finish what I've started! Although this week is just aiming at maintaining - two meals
out to celebrate my 35th birthday and I know there'll be cake and alcohol!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you, it's great to have a place I can talk weight loss, without boring my friends and family!

Philippa . :-)

    Hi Philippa,
    Firstly, congrats on your achievements thus far. That's major weight loss, well done!
    I'm the same at tge moment, I'd like to loose 15- 20 lbs. I'm 5'2 and 144 lbs I think. I'm afraid to weigh mysrlf after this weekend!
    My sister is getting married and I'm a bridesmaid; it's on 25th of June so that's a motivator for me.
    Would you like to follow 1200 calories a day?
    Oh I'm 39 years old.
    Would be great to support each other here, and chat about weight loss, ect.

    Well done you! I'm rejoining MFP after gaining weight. I'm 40 and can sympathise with needing a safe space for 'diet talk'. Good luck

    Sounds like we're pretty similar! I'm on 1200 at the moment, but it's all pretty slow going cos my maintenance calories are only 1640! The down side to being small! Would be great to have a buddy! :-)
