Hi everyone

I'm from the UK and it feels like I'm the only one!

I'm looking to lose some weight and tone up... a few years ago I lost 30lb or so when I dedicated myself to DDR... but I'm looking to lose another 25 or so. I've always felt self-conscious about my size and have resorted to some horrible methods but I want to try to be as healthy as possible so that I can slim down and stay that way withouit any nasty health-related side effects!

Also there's cancer in my family and I'd like to try to lower my chances of contracting that sometime in the future. Which will also mean quitting that :smokin:... I was at a bad time when I started and I think it's about time I quit!

My mother is on a medication that makes her gain weight and she's horrible unhappy about it. She's been trying so hard to eat healthier when her doctors asked her to lower her cholesterol and she succeeded, but she's still unhappy about her weight. I might persuade her to join at some point too, or pass on the tips

Welcome to MFP..it's a very helpful, supportive site! :flowerforyou:

Welcome, this is a great site. I have been here since August and have lost 20 lbs so far so you can do it. Dont get discouraged if you dont lose the weight fast. If you are only wanting to lose 30 it might take you longer but there are great people on here and they will give you some encouragement along the way. I definately say use the message boards. They are a godsend. I am from the US myself but there are plenty of people from all over the world on here.
