Hey MFP!

Hey everyone, my name is Amy and I'm new to MFP. I've been here for 10 days, and it's really helping me!

About myself: I'm 18 (19 in just under a month) and I've been overweight all my life. I never realised how overweight I actually was, for some reason my perceptions of length and weight aren't great, but when I worked out my BMI for the first time (without guessing measurements) I decided it was time to change that all! At the moment I weigh 305lbs, but in the last week I have lost 4lbs thanks to just changing my diet! I hope to reach 125lbs eventually so I'm in the middle of the healthy BMI range, I know it's a long way away but I am more determined than ever to do it right and sort out my body!

Currently I'm a student studying for a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design and I am loving it! Besides that, I like to sing, enjoy video games, I'm very interested in fashion and beauty and I'm a huge animal lover! I also love Glee, Harry Potter, BBC's Merlin and Team Starkid! So yeah, that's me!

It's nice to meet you all! ^___^

    Welcome! I'm a newbie too :) I have to say, I am loving this site, it is like a Facebook for fitness!! I also love the scanning option for foods :)

    Hey! Nice to meet you! It's great right? Sometime I feel I can't share any progress on Facebook because people won't care or think I'm attention seeking, but here everyone is in the same boat so it's great! I wish I could use the scanner, it'd make things so much easier! XD
