Hi all
Ive been a user of MFP for quite a while now - although when I say use, I mean I have had the app on my phone for quite a while and never used it. However with the warmer weather heading my way, and a holiday next year I need to shift about 90lbs - mainly because so many clothes no longer fit (or never did so no idea why I bought them) - but also I feel my health is beginning to suffer - I feel sluggish, tired and moody, I know for sure if I lose weight both physically and mentally I will be a lot better.
A bit about me - I am 34, live in Kent in England and have been married for just over 5 years. I have a dog and a cat, love the countryside, listening to music and socialising.
Im not joining a slimming club but have joined a gym opposite work today so my first go in there is tomorrow at 7am before work!! Im going to use the calorie tracker on here to try to control what I am eating and how much - Im going to try to focus about 50/50 on the food and exercise as both need to be looked at for me to be able to do this!!
my email address is lisa.wager1980@yahoo.co.uk if anyone wants to keep in touch or add me on here even if it is just to swap ideas, share progress whatever!!!!
