Hi everyone I'm Gemma, 30 from Liverpool UK.

I've used MFP before but didn't stick at it and I think I know why - friends! I didn't add anyone last time.

I've been back on for a week, adding inspirational people and it has made such a massive difference. I've got a treadmill, got the 30 Day Shred DVD on its way and a set of hand weights too - all in the last few days.

I can't wait to start my training properly. Feel free to add me! You can never have too many friends can you?

Gem x

    Ha ha ha no way?

    I couldn't live in Adlington. The temptation driving past Fredericks ice cream parlour on the way to my folks would be too much!

    Absolutely agreed. I've always tried to do this stuff on my own previously. I'm deathly allergic to exercise, like food far too much and sit at a desk all day so the odds are not in my favour.

    Having a few people on your side has got to help even things out a little. :happy:

    Hi Gemma! My name is Silvia and I'm definately in the same boat as you were. I'm having a hard time sticking to it because my only friend on here is my sister. I am definately lacking the motivation needed to get back on track!
