Hi guys,

I have lost weight, then gained weight x 5,000 (ok, well at least 3 times). I have a sordid love affair with chocolate, and at the end of a long tiring day at work vino is my best friend. To make the situation worse, I now live in the south of Spain and it is just too easy eating a tapa because it looks small, then realising you have actually ate 20! I've had 14lbs that I have needed to push for months but keep on putting it off, now that 14lbs has crept up to 20lbs so I am now motivated to make that push before I have to replace my wardrobe (which is already very stretched! All cardigans open rather than done up!!)

I have started pushing myself to go to the gym (which actually feels great) and to watch my portion sizes and my eating vices. I am looking to change habits for good and lead a healthier more energetic life.

I think this site is great. I am open to making lots of friends and gaining as much support as there is out there!

Happy healthy living ladies and gents! :0)

    Welcome to the site, and good luck on the journey. I love the attitude - I'm also feeling much the same way. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like some support and motivation.

    Also feel free to add me if you like. I joined 2 weeks ago and feel really motivated thanks to the ease of the iphone app and the support and success stories of this forum!
    I'm looking to lose about another 30lbs if I can just from eating healthy.
    Good Luck, we can do it :)

    Mmmmm....chocolate. We're like two peas in a pod on that note. :laugh:
    I'm glad you took charge and linked up with MFP when you did. There is so much knowledge and support flowing through this site it's addictive. Best of luck to you in weight loss!!
