Hi all! I'm 37 and a full time mum.
I have three boys aged 19, 16, 14 and 5....and three girls aged 17 (moved out) and 14 (twins). :noway:
Last year, after over 20yrs of misdiagnoses, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I'm a complete nut and shocked they didn't realise sooner! :laugh:
The medication I'm on has gone a long way to help me gain nearly 50lb, and three dress sizes, since September.
I tweet daily and noticed that a few of my tweeps were using MyFitnessPal. I figured it was worth a try and downloaded the app to my phone. I'm really impressed that I can the barcode scanner, it saves a lot of time and fuss working things out.
I haven't lost any weight, yet, but then I only started a couple of days ago. I've been a good girl and joined a gym, so that should help too.
I would love to hear from others, especially those in my area (if possible).
