in Introduce Yourself
:smile: Hello!! My name is Hannah im 22 and im from the UK and this is around the hundredth time in the past 10 years that I have tried to lose weight, although this time I have the motivation and dedication to do it and have so far lost 14 pounds since January 1st. I am currently 90.8kg and am very aware that in the past 6 months I was mortified to have seen 103kg on the scales, so obviously I jumped off as quickly as I could and just assumed those scales were wrong.... Because they have been all my life you see.. Really must put in a complaint about all those inaccurate scales.... Lol

I didn't think I was that fat when I looked in a mirror and my day of realisation that I needed to change life happened when my mother in law said to me' when I met you, you were quite slim, then you had a baby, and your not anymore' Infront of 50+ people. Not a great moment but I will thank her for it at the end of all of this.

Thanks for listening, just looking to stop lurking and actually do something or even to yet have one friend on here!

Hannah :)

    Well done in your loss so far Hannah, you're doing great!

    I hope you manage to thank your mother in law sometime in the future, but for not you can resent her comments a little, its allowed :P

    Hannah, it's great that you've found My Fitness Pal, as it's a good place to start a weight-loss journey. I was very close to your current weight when I started almost two years ago and am almost at my goal weight. I'm an older gal, so losing weight is much more difficult at this age. You are smart to attack this while you are so young. If you track your food intake, weigh and measure foods, and keep a positive attitude YOU CAN DO THIS!
