Hello from Argentina

plarcade

Hi, have been on MFP for a few weeks now after deciding to get back in shape. I used to work with horses, exercising, mucking out, grooming etc, so was very fit. Since only riding my own, the weight has crept on. I'm also slightly hypothyroid, which didn't help. That's now been treated so weight loss is a lot easier.
I have a history of eating disorders from my teens as well, so my family get VERY jumpy when I start restricting calories as I have, in the past, had a tendency to erm... overdo things. MFP has been GREAT in allowing me to eat MORE by keeping an accurate tab on my calories. It also means I can treat myself on occasion, which of course means it's easier to stick to the diet.
I'm not sure how much more I want to lose as the Dr's scale measures 4 KILOS more than my scale at home, but somewhere between 3-10 kilos...
Anyway, just wanted to say hello, have been reading the message boards with interest but haven't been brave enough to post until now. Some VERY impressive weight loss going on and some VERY good information Thank you all!!
