Hi MFP world,
I stumbled across MFP earlier this year, but like most other times I have tried to lose weight I find life's challenges knock me off track and I lean on food (nice way of saying I stuff myself silly when I feel crap). I want to learn food and exercise habits for life rather than yo-yo forever and ever and ever with my self-image taking the same rollercoaster ride.
I'm 5'4" with about 40lbs to lose (I'm a kiwi and we use cm and kg so I'm hoping this is accurate). I would really love some MFP friends who can help push me back on the wagon, any advice welcome, and in return I will be supportive and motivating and occasionally entertaining

Hello littlechook I'm always looking for new friends and motivation and always
willing to return the favor add me if you would like.0 -
I am in the same boat as you! Except maybe a little more oompa-loompa shaped. I'm 5'3" and have 50 lbs to lose. But I am finding MFP to be super motivating & I am loving the community & the accountability. I too stuff myself when I feel bad. And drink! So I'm trying to make changes in my life to take away the feeling bad. Doing a little housecleaning - if you know what I mean!
Please feel free to friend me & I will help with the motivation! And will do my best to make you laugh when it gets tough!
