Hi everyone!


I am new to the whole MFP and wanted to say Hi to everyone on here!! everyone seems really friendly and supportive of one another! :smile:

I joined this as I had been going to WW for a year and a half and managed to lose 4 stone. I felt great but then I got sucked in by a very abusive man and found comfort in eating so needless to say I have put weight back on again :cry:

I really want to get down to my goal weight for my sisters 18th as we are planning to go to New York and I don't feel happy or comfortable with the way I am the now!

I now have my head screwed back on and got out of that relationship and now focusing on my health.

I would really love for people to add me so that I am not doing this alone.

Hope to get to know you all better!!

Natalie :bigsmile:

    I've been through an abusive marriage, so I understand where you are coming from. I am out of that relationship (he passed away) and now I am taking care of myself. My starting weight last Sept. was 304 and now I weigh 234. I ate all my troubles away...but I just gained the weight. Feel free to add me if you wish.

    Thats exactly what i done I thought the more I ate the less he could hurt me then something clicked on day and I decided that enough was enough.

    i currently weight 216 but my goal weight is 133 so fingers crossed I can get there,

    You have done fantastic so far and hopefully I can do as well as you
