Hi, I’m Shell. I’m in Aberdeen Scotland. I’ve been obese all of my adult life, and played with MFP on and off for years, but recently decided that now was my time. I’ve lost just over 2 stone in the last 5 months through healthy eating and exercise and I’m feeling much better for it. Lots more to go though. Most of my friends are busy being parents to their young children and don’t have the time or energy to focus on their health and fitness and I’m finding it quite isolating. Would be good to be in touch with some like minded people to share wins with, help motivate and challenge each other and help to hold each other accountable.
