Hello fellow dieters,

My name is Chris, I'm 41 and live in England. I've overeaten religiously for years and just wished I wasn't overweight or just chose to ignore the fact or even kid myself I was normal weight. After a recent holiday I noticed that I couldn't see my feet anymore and felt tired, and it hurt to even sit on the floor as my gut kept getting in the way. That was early July, since then through will power I cut out junk food, coke and beer. I've lost 21 pounds so far but felt it was time to measure exactly what was going on as I was feeling faint a lot and that lead me to another pay per month site costing £9.95. I kept looking for calories for foods and kept finding the answers here lol, I've just cancelled that membership and will probably stay here for good. :happy:

    Welcome, this is a fantastic website and I myself can't believe its free.

    The support from people is exactly what you look for so you give the same back.

    Well done on the recent weight loss too!!

    I joined here about 2 weeks ago. And I love it. I have logged in everyday.

    The calorie counting is easy. Just stick to it.

    Good luck

    :D
