in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, i'm Heather, i've come on here to try and help me lose some weight, i've been on site now for 3 days and already obsessed with what i'm putting in my mouth, i'm counting the calories before they go in. I did however go for a jacket potato today with cheese and beans and when i relised how many calories there was in it i nearly died, lol. But i aim to lose 71lb to be where i want to be, to be happy again with my body.
So anybody that can offer me any tips or just be a friend when i need a good kick, please don't hesitate to add me as a friend, then kick my *kitten*, lol.
Good luck to you all in your own tests, and may we all become skinny's together :drinker:

    Thank you Sunshine, and to the other girls that i have just made friends with, i'm actually looking forward to this now, my big test will be this time of night when i'm at the pc, this is when i snack the most, i'm terrible, but i have bottle of water in hand and all i've had tonight is 2 pink and whites jammies, omg they are delicious, lol, and less than 2% fat, 55 calories each, and i've still got 12 calories left, lol. Thanx again for the adds, lets lose it together x

    Welcome to MFP! I'm in the East Midlands, been on here for just over a week now. It's definitely an obsession so far.
    We have a similar weight loss goal I hope you find it helpful here, I sure have.

    Good luck!!

    Yes, obsessed is the right word, but my brain is also getting a workout when i'm trying to work out how many calories are in something that's not on the database, lol, yep when i'm buying something, the first thing i look at is the calories, it's a nightmare, lol, good luck with your goals MissMaz x

    Thanks hun! Every label content has been examined these days *L* I'm almost lucky with the hubby away during the week, it means I can get single package items. Almost good because quorn and that lot are still processed but low fat and lower cal than a lot of other stuff.
    Good luck, there is a lot of motivation on here! :)

    I'm living in Bremen, Germany but originally come from East Yorkshire and my parents come from Sunderland!

    I've decided (today) that I need to get fitter as well and have just started using some podcasts to start running *cough* sorry jogging (google couch to 5k in 9 weeks if you want more info). Maybe I won't be able to walk tomorrow! I will be able to sleep tonight though as I was up at 6.30am to jog before hubby went to work and mummy duties began! lol

    Maybe we can all help to keep each other motivated?

    Good luck!
