Hi there

Its sad but i feel I have to state that mantra.

For years ive been overweight, but last year lost almost 3 stone and was only 2 stone away from an almost normal weight. However, following some unhappy times, i let the weight go back on and then some on top, so this made me feel even worse.

After buying a new outfit at 2 sizes bigger than normal and still finding it not fitting, I have made a promise to myself to lose weight.

I have set some minor goals to achieve, but I am overall looking to lose around 75 - 80 pounds.

I love cooking and have already found a way to cook chicken and rice to help fill me up at low calories

I would love to hear if anyone has some nice sweet things at low calories

Andy

    Hi and welcome Andy. You've taken a great step in joining MFP! Believe me, you're in great company here. We're all in the same large boat, and working together we're all gonna kick some *kitten*!

    I have a TON of recipes. It's actually a hobby of mine to take the fattening ones that I used to love and try to turn them into low calorie and/or low carb versions that I can still enjoy sometimes. What is it you're looking for?
