new to site, looking for friends :-)

Hello, i'm new to the site.

I'm 41, live in the UK and have battled with my weight since having my children who are now 9 & 7. I have reached Goal/Gold at Weight Watchers THREE times in 6 years but as soon as i stop counting WW points the weight creeps back on. Hopefully using MFP will help me understand calories/portion control so i can lose the weight and it will stay off.

I'm looking for friends, so please feel free to add me so we can help & support each other on our weight loss journey, Emma x

  • Hi Emma!

    I also have used WW over the years, only to gain back many of the pounds as well... I actually like MFP better! :smile: My kids are close to the ages of your kids (13 & 9) ~ fun ages!

    Nice to meet you!
  • Add me. I've been here before but only adding ladies this time- too much flirting before ;) I'm 43 , like joking around but serious about fitness
