Hi I am new

Dietcoke77

Hi

I have been messing around with losing weight for a while but really motivated now and I am on a mission. I am 34 years old, live in Essex in the UK and work in London full time, married with two daughters (13 and 2) and have a big amount to loose, currently 266lbs and aiming for 150.

Using MFP to calorie count and I go to the gym three times a week plus just started 30 day shred. I have tried every diet under the sun but none have ever worked long term. I was looking into a gastric band last year (also have PCOS so find weightless a challenge!) but developed a near fatal blood clot on my lung in October which scared the life out of me. Not allowed the operation now but I am determined I need to get myself sorted out.

I find this community really inspirational and love reading the posts. Please bear with me if I ask stupid questions!

Hi

Like you I have tried just about every other diet going. I am 5ft 3 and have quite a bit of weight to lose so I have broken the amount into two chunks. I am from the UK and my food diary is available for friends to see which I find can sometimes be a help. I have been on here a week and it is great with losts of inspiration and motivation. Good luck on your journey and I have sent you a firnd request.

Hi

I've been doing it for a few weeks now, and its the best tool ever, this is the first time in years that I have lost weight without the help of diet pills!

I've added you because its always nice to have some encouragement and share food diaries.

Keep up the good work

Welcome to mfp! I've been using it since june and I believe I wouldn't have come as far as I have without it! I've tried and quit so many times before because I felt it was just too far out of reach... be consistant eat healthy options stay under your calorie goal move everyday and control portions... u will see progress but it takes dedication and patience :-) best of luck to u all!
