    I've been on here since March last year but only became 'serious' in September and have managed to lose almost 2 stone. I've got a lot more to lose but I'm loving the fact I am losing slowly but surely. Also, I'm more encouraged to exercise (especially when I can eat back my exercise calories!!!!!).

    I'm from the NW of England.

    I'll send a friend request.

    Hi Laura!!!

    A great support group has always been key to my success. I've re-joined myfitnesspal after being away for almost 2 years. I got pregnant and fell off the wagon. So this year, I'm dusting myself off and trying again. I lost 30lbs of my 50 lbs goal in 7 months, so I know WE CAN DO IT!!

    My tip for the day would be: EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!!! Even if it's just a walk, it makes a huge difference. The more you do it the more your body wants!

    I will add you to my friends list.

    :)

    Everyone has been so kind :) makes all the differences when you are doing these things.

    Also compared to slimming groups it isn't as embarrassing - never used to like sitting there discussing my week in front of people!!
