Morning

I’m 47, 4 stone overweight and using mfp to help me lose weight. I’m only 5’ 1.

Lost two stone so far but it comes off really slowly.

Looking for pals to come along for the ride and to share tips and advice.

Be warned: I don’t ever fall off plan, I don’t cheat, I am totally focused. Boring yeah, but I need to succeed. My daughter gets married next March and I am not going to be fat in those wedding photos - no way!!!

    Welcome!

    My eldest daughter gets married in August next year so I have about a year to lose another stone and a half! The rate I’m going I might just get there! I’m pretty much the same height as you, (maybe half an inch shorter) so I understand how slow it is when you’re short!

    Like you, once I’m in the ‘zone’ nothing will distract me from the goal. I’m also in the UK so the products we have access to will be much the same. I’ve not added friends before but we sound so similar I think we could be good support for each other!
    If I can figure out how I’ll send a friend request! 😂

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Good luck with your journey!
