Hi,
After years of being the awkward guy at partys, the shy and insecure one because of my weight, i learnt how to control my hunger and drop from 20 stone, to 15, after falling off the weight wagon, and gaining, i searched my phone and found a nifty little app for my smart phone under searching for 'calore counter'. it was a strange free application, called 'Myfitnesspal'. It seemed to have everything i need, in order to 'battle the bulge' as it where.
I would like to thank the people on here already for their inspirational stories. Making realise that the extra bit i put on, and the rest of what i originally needed to lose, can be done and ultimatley it will.
I understand that actually having a goal/reason to lose it is key, So heres mine:
This is for me, no-one else. I hate the way i look at feel and the way it makes me feel inadequate and insecure, so its going, also due to family history with weight related illnesses, i can not afford to carry on. If only i could go to the dentist and get my sweet tooth removed, i feel that would be very beneficial.
So once again Hello! I am hoping that this can help me get motivation on those dark days when a doughnut is in reach, a brownie, a bag of crisps or whatever is easilly accessible, i cannot have them, so goodbye belly my old friend, i'd like to say it was a pleasure, it wasn't.

You've definitely come to the right place. It's amazing to see how much people have lost. It is motivating. If you want you can request me as a friend (click on my user name) and I'll try to keep you motivated. Goodbye belly!!!0

Hi there!
I've been on MFP for awhile but am just now starting to use it regularly. I quite like it and it's very easy to hop on and log calories/workouts.0
