Hi all,

I've been roadtesting MFP for a week or so now and am really liking the site and reading all of your stories - so I think I'll stay :)

I was always the fat girl at school, although looking back at photos I didn't really balloon until I was in my mid-20s, thanks to chips, curry and alcohol! At that point, I was about 250 llbs. Managed to get down to about 170 llbs but my weight has crept up again to 180. I'm quite tall (5'11) so it's not that noticeable, but I'd like to firm things up a bit and drop a couple of dress sizes :)

All of the stories I've read on here are truly inspirational so I think I can do it

Cheers

    HI there, welcome to a great site.

    You can do it and this site certainly helps (it has helped me to lose 15lbs).

    Good luck
