Hello, New to MFP!

Hello guys, I'm a busy working Mum and just like most of you have been trying to diet on my own for years. I moved to Scotland back in 2005 and was very surprised with all the big portions of food here which was almost double than my normal food intake but I hate wasting food so tried hard to finish them all!

Over the years, I have an immunity to the portion size and can finish a plate of food with no problem. I find that even my portions at home have gone larger too. Being busy at work, I also didnt have time to exercise like I used to as it is mostly work then home to spend time with my daughter. 7 years on, I am 2 dress sizes bigger, adopted an extra chin and 2 extra flabs on my tummy.

I started hating having my photo taken and have gone through various dieting on my own, most of which last only for days or one to two weeks before I go on my normal eating habit again.

When a workmate decided to join Slimmers, I thought I should do it. I need the support of others to help me. Thats been 2 weeks now since I joined and I am 6lbs lighter. But I find keeping track of my food was hard so was really glad when I found this site and bonus that it has a mobile App that will keep me on track during those going out days!

I aim to lose at least 25lbs by end of this year and my ultimate target is to lose 50lbs to be on my healthy BMI count.

Please add me if you can, would love some support on this journey.

Thanks,
Grace
