:flowerforyou:

Hi, just finding my way around on here. My son introduced me to the site. I've got it all set up on my Android phone, so lets see how it goes.

I'm 55, I've been big all my life. I don't believe in "diets" I think the only way to loose weight is healthy choices and portion control. I just need to learn to practice what I preach. :tongue:

Anyway, just thought I'd say hello. And I'm afraid I tend to over use smileys on forums :happy:

    I'm a UK-er, near Blackpool. Been here since March last year but only became 'serious' in September. I've lost almost 2 stone. Loving the fact this site encourages us to lose slowly but surely!

    UK user here too....

    I've lost over a stone since Christmas, it's been done with cutting out eating between meals, cutting out chocolate (which for me is a big thing) and exercise too....

    Welcome and good luck

    Hi :smile: Another Brit here, from Southampton. I'm also new to MFP, using the iPhone app on my iPod touch and finding it really convenient not to have to use the PC all the time.

    My aim is to get a grip on my health and fitness before I hit 50. Milestone birthdays tend to focus the mind :laugh:

    Best of luck to everybody, friend invites very welcome!
