So... um... hello everyone!

I'm Marie, I'm currently living in Scotland and I'm here because I need a lot of motivation to start living healthily.

From January to April 2009, I lost a stone in weight, but my motivation disappeared. I managed to maintain that weightloss while fluctuating a little, but I've still got another stone to lose before reaching a weight I'll feel happy with.

I've signed up to the 12 week weight loss plan on About.com, which has a lot of focus on exercise, and I'm hoping that between this site and that plan, I'll stick with it, and that in 12 weeks, I'll be a healthier, happier me.

I've also set myself a goal to run a 10k at some stage before the end of the year, so... um... yeah, that's me.

    Hey :)
    Welcome to MFP
    This is definitely the place to be if you need some motivation to loose weight, before signing up I never really thought about what I was eating and didn't bother thinking about how many calories etc the foods I was eating had.
    Good luck with that last stone and with the 10k run :)

    Welcome! Good luck losing the stone and with the 5K. I think you'll find people here incredibly supportive - I have.

    @toxicgiggle - you have the best nickname ever!

    Thanks for the welcome! Yeah, I've been having a look through the forums this morning - it does seem like a really friendly and supportive place.

    And though I've used online calorie counters before, I love that this one is so clear! And that it gives you a goal for the day. I went into the red yesterday (final blowout with some Hula Hoops) so I'm determined not to do that again for the next week.
