Newbie from Scotland :)

Hi I'm Karen I've just turned 31 I'm new to this and looking for people similar to myself in the hope that we can support each other when times get tough.....
I made the decision to loose weight and get fit when I found a lump in my breast while feeding my daughter after many biopsys and scans I was given the all clear and so thankful it wasn't the big C" I've now started thinking what if? What if it was cancerous how would my body cope? Am I strong and healthy enough to fight it? .....no prob not which is why i need to do this now, I still have my lump there reminding me everyday what could happen and it scares me, I just want to try my best and know if it ever does happen that I will be at my strongest,....now I'm here started this morning and doing good so far, went a walk with my daughter and dog for 2 hours ( great for me as I don't walk anywhere lol) and I'm now about to get ready for my first Zumba class, I'm away just now but hoping to have a buddy on here when I'm next on tonight

xXx Karen xXx

Hi Lauren thank you for replying, how have you found your first week? Yes my bmi says I should loose 3 stone aswell but I remember being more comfortable around 10 so I have just over 2 stone, I can't wait to reach my goal either but think it may be just as hard keeping it off lol x

Hi there, newbie too... figure this will motivate me when i can the stats on the screen. Congrats on the all clear btw... but hey sometimes we just need a good old kick up the bum to get us started. Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me! xx

Thank you trigger happy it's true though, I've been moaning about my weight for a few years but this has definitely kick started me into doing something, funkie I have around that weight also plus would like a lot off before May as my hubby is taking me to a lodge for the weekend ( first time away from our kids) has hot tub so really need to get rid of my fat bits lol x

Hi there! I have 4 stone to loose! 3 to be comfortable with. I too have strong motivations. Largely for my 5 month old daughter. I am breast feeding too which I think is an energy zapper and I have gotten into some really bad habits. Half way through my first week using Mfp. It keeps telling me I will be a stone lighter in 5 weeks if I carry on the way I am!! I can hope eh!! Just want to be able to teach little one good eating habits and lead with example. Good luck

Hi! I'm not from Scotland (and even though I have a bunch of MFP friends from across the pond, I still cannot for the life of me remember how many pounds or KG's a stone is lol #americanproblems). Feel free to add me! I'm always on and just trying to get healthy!!

Hi There!

I am from the U.S. but have traveled to Scotland! I am here for any support or motivation! I have 50 pounds to lose and am always looking for new friends who are motivated! I think you are off to a great start walking, and Zumba is so much fun, I bet you will enjoy it- not to mention it is an awesome workout!

Good luck to all the other scottish newbs

I'm not from Scotland, but I love kilts! And I'm Scottish by generations-ago immigration <g>

Anyway, welcome and congrats on being 'big C free' and on making these changes.

If you'd like a friend who is approaching the finish line having lost over three stone so far, send me a quick request.

I'm not an advocate of quick fix diets, though, but I'll try and help with finding a healthy and safe way to lose weight (and keep it off).
