Hey everyone! I'm Josh :smile:

Currently, I'm 20 years old and live in the UK and looking to lose 115lbs to become a healthier me, feel more energetic and gain more confidence in myself.

I've been floating around MFP for about 2 weeks now and I'm looking to add some more friends on here that I could maybe discuss tips with or just have a friendly chat. :smile:

During July 2013, I lost my warehouse job and as you can imagine, my fitness dropped considerably because I was no longer as active. I never used to watch what I ate so I was already pretty overweight (250lbs ish) but I didn't feel unfit or unhealthy.

During Christmas 2013, my weight spiked at around 305lbs and soon dropped below the 300lbs mark after all the extra sweets and chocolate were gone. But I still was ashamed at how much I'd let my weight and fitness get out of control and decided in February that it was time I got something done. I found MFP about 4-5 days into my diet and the community here is really friendly and helpful with loads of great advice and I hope to stay on this great site until my goal is achieved.:happy:

So if there's anyone that would like to be friends, I'll happily add anyone and try my best to be supportive of your current goals.
