Hi All
Well this is my second day of using the app on my phone and i have to say so far that i love it! I haven't yet found a food that isnt on the database by using the barcode scanner thingy, very impressive!
I have already lost 6.5 stone over the last 3 years purely by watching what i eat (not dietting!) and doing lots of walking and exercise, but my weight has no plateu'd so im having another kick to lose the final 1.5 stone left that i want to lose
Im hoping fitness pal is the way forward
Would love to hear from anyone that wants to add me as a friend to keep me motivated!!

Hi Emsi!
Well done on your weight loss, we have similar stories by the sound of it, well once i've shifted the last 1.5 stone!
Would you mind if i added you as a friend, i think it would help motivate me to see other peoples progress

There don't seem to be so many of us from Essex - plenty in the UK though!0
