Hi there.
I joined MFP last week and wasn't going to look at the forums because I find the dieting culture quite oppressive and nasty. So I searched for a few groups and have joined ones relating to my interests. I'm very glad to find this!

My goals are to settle my weight down to just under 10 stone, get fitter and get more flexible. And get more control over my food and my body (I have control issues).

I took part in the One Billion Rising movement yesterday and loved it. Then got home to find out Reeva Steenkamp had been murdered by her partner and I got angry again.

    Welcome! I also just want to acknowledge the distress/horror you felt about the irony of one billion rising, only to then read of another tragic loss of Reeva Steenkamp. That the alleged murderer is a "heroed" olympian who has overcome so much... to do this... horrifying and enraging.

    Glad to have you with us!

    Sagreenius, I think I'm following you... just posted behind you in another thread. Not stalking, I promise.:laugh:

    I just started MFP in the past week. I've had great success with Weight Watchers in the past, but this time around it doesn't seem to be working for me. And this is free!

    I'm looking for cheerleaders, so feel free to add me.
