Another newbie here from the UK

Options
: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!
