Hi all.
After starting and stopping so many "diets" in the past few years, I've re-set everything as from this morning and am so determined this time. I'm calorie counting and getting more active in the hope that changing my lifestyle will get me where I need to be.

Would be lovely to have some more friends on here, I've only got 2! - but they're quality :o)

My name's Claire, and I live in South Yorkshire, UK

    Hello to all, Im new as well. it's been a week now for me, so far so good. This really is a great program. I too have been on the yoyo diet , take it off , put it back on :sad: . and have you noticed that when you gain it back, it comes back with a vengeance :angry: . Well i'm not getting any younger and it seems to get harder to drop the pounds as you get older. So here I am once again taking this journey down the road to health and fitness. So lets stay away from those detour signs and stay on the straight & narrow. This time there will be no more excuses. So Goodbye Jelly donuts, hello celery sticks. LOL.. WE Can Do This!!! By the way feel free to friend me, I only have 1 so far. :frown: Lets motivate each other to get that little ticker moving towards our goal weight.

    Hello All:

    Feel free to add me. I've been on MyfitnessPal since Thanksgiving and it's been teh most motivating website I've ever been on. I'm also on loseit.com but the motivation and layout of the website is way better than loseit.

    I wish you all the best of luck on your journey to a new and healthier you! :)

    I'm new also, Ive never tried calorie counting before and omg this site is amazing and has been sooo enlightening. I have decided to cut pop out of my life for good (maybe treat myself sometime) but for 1 year alone if I can stick to this change to water I will have saved a staggering 76,650 Calorie's!!!! Thats with only drinking 500ml of pop a day!

    I only have 1 friend that I dont know anyway lol so please please guys add me - I really love this site!

    I'm 28 and been overweight since I was a child and bullied for it, I suffer with depression very badly and have pretty much been bed ridden for the past 5 years. I am only 5"3 and I'm the heaviest I've ever been at 240lb, I really wanna lose 90lb so I can feel good about myself and like myself.

    Ive got xbox 360 and trying my best every day to work out on either The Biggest Loser or YourShape for at least 15-30mins a day, but I'm so unfit and my body isn't used to it even though I want to go on and do more I cant for lack of breath. The only problem I find is this site and others say that in the 30 mins exercise that I do I have burned 263 Calorie's and on the games it's not even half of that. So I am going to put down how long according to the Calorie's because that's what counts.

    OMG Really sorry for war and peace lol. Im feeling really possitive about my future for the first time in my life even though Ive only just started.
