Tinyfairy

Hi all,
I've just joined MFP tonight and I have a serious amount of weight to lose.
I have 7 stone to lose.. Is there anyone else in a similar position with such a huge amount of weight to lose??
Would love to talk and chat xx

I am in the same position. I have 120 lbs (8.5 stone) to lose! But, I am ready for it.

Welcome! This is such a motivational site and everyone here is going to help you, for sure! I don't know much about stones but in terms of weight, I have a good bit to lose and I am just taking it one day at a time. You can do it and with the help of these wonderful people, it will get easier and easier over time.

Hi there, welcome. I have about 7 stone to loose and as daunting as it is I have been on here 4 weeks and am still feeling really positive. I have tried so many diets and gimmicks and this is really working. You have taken the first step so lets go for it. Angie

I have 8 1/2 stones to lose. Sounds way better than pounds

Hi All!

I'm a newbie. I LOVE the concept of "stones" - it DOES sound so much better than pounds! I originally had 7 1/2 stones to lose, now I have around 5 1/2 or so. I am currently doing Medifast, but I found the MFP website so much better to use for keeping track of everything. It's so cool how they already have my MF food in the food tracker. And from what I can tell, you all seem like a really supportive group to hang out with.

I started off at 255.5 lbs on March 23 and I am currently 230.5 (25 lb loss so far). It's going pretty well, but I do have moments where I get so frustrated and want to eat my arm off, but I just think of how quickly I'm losing and how I am already down to a weight I haven't been in years. I'd love to make some new friends here and be a friend to anyone who can use one!

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello everyone from the British Isles!

If I remember correctly, isn't a stone = to 7 pounds (oh if that were sterling pounds!)
Maybe I should do that as an incentive! 1 British Sterling pound for every American weight pound! I could afford to stay in
a B&B or Inn or may even a hotel! for a night or two by the time I am down!

Anyone game for a pen pal? I so have the travel bug but am unemployed so am daydreaming of all the travel I'll do when I get a job, pay back the loans, save for airfare.....hmmmm I better get a REALLY GOOD job!


Have a good week!
