Hi everyone, here I go again...

This is my second fitness pal account, I deleted my first one, but my third try at losing weight using fitness pal, hopefully this time I will do it, I know it works it has befor but events in my life took over and as usual I gave in, and I really dont want to do that this time I will be 43 this year and dont want to waste any more of my life hating what I see in the mirror. I have four kids my eldest are 22, 20 and 16 and my youngest is only 6 and I would love to be arround long enough to see him grow up, I have only just started adding friends in hope of gaining some much needed support which I will be happy to give in return.

feel free to add me, I'm open and friendly and love a good laugh, Key :laugh:

  • Hey hi I've only just joined so I'm pleased to hear that it works ! I have tried to lose weight many times before but it just seems to always creep back on most recently being a new partner and giving up smoking has seen me put on 2stone in about 8 months :( and I was unhappy before !

    This time I am going to try and adopt a healthy eating plan with lots of excercise rather than just a quick fix. I know how you feel as I too hate looking in the mirror and also avoid social occasions due to weight and being unhappy.

    Hopefully we can motivate each other x
  • Hi, I downloaded this app in Oct 12 as I wanted to lose weight but I'm too stubborn and a bit reluctant to pay a weekly fee to anyone ! I mainly did the app as I desperately needed help counting calories as I dont have a clue ;-)
    I found having to enter everything I did quite liberating and my kids thought weighing and measuring was great fun plus for the first few weeks it was quite scary actually seeing what I was eating !!! Anyway since 1st October 2012 my current weighloss stands at 37lbs which I am well chuffed with. I have decided to continue using the app till October this year by then I should be confident enough to go it alone (or not)
