Helloooo from sunny Scotland!

StacPolly

Hi all, I found this site yesterday by accident ... was googling calories in a bottle of 1664 beer compared to glass of white wine :embarassed: ... not a good start eh!!!
What a fantastic site. I'm completely hooked. It's so easy to record food items, and quite scary how those calories add up from things I would normally disregard - mugs of tea for instance!! I strongly feel I've found my 'magic feather' (think Dumbo ) and am amazed how positive I feel.
About me ... I've been battling a lung disease for a couple of years now, and I'm still on 10mg of steroids. I've gained about 4 stone :sad: and I hate it. Exercise is still quite difficult, I can only do walking, but I'm determined I will lose this weight. I love hill walking in the highlands of Scotland where I live ... I have to get back out there.
Be nice to 'givenget' backup to/from anyone with weighty issues, always easier when not going it alone I feel.
And if anyone is struggling with steroid induced weight gain and needs to let off steam I'd love to hear from you - we can rant together. Bye for now and good luck/well done to all. :flowerforyou:
