Hi, any fellow Scots on board?

Hi, my name is Janie...relatively new on here and despite best efforts...struggling to shift those bloody lbs! Made few lovely encouraging friends already but was looking for fellow dieters fae bonnie Scotland. Anyone around want a new supportive buddy...remember, a diet buddy is for life not just the fat days lol x

    Hi Janie, I am a fellow Scot from Falkirk, reasonably new to MFP. Like you I am struggling, I thought over the past 2 weeks I had done good with my eating, obviously not good enough, not even lost 1lb but I wont give up.

    Ladies, I'm from Dumbarton. I sympathise with you regarding the weight. However, I'm just 1 lb behind my target. perhaps it's the different metabolism being male, I don't know. The weight change yo-yos a lot - a couple of pounds up then ½lb off on the succesive weeks. consistency is not guaranteed when trying to lose weight. My target has been 1lb/week since I began 11 weeks ago and have lost 10 lb. I'm not following any diet, just sticking to my target figures. Do keep trying, It'll be worth it in the end. We each have our own battles, but it's the same war for us all.

    hello everyone, I'm 37 and from Hamilton. Been on here for a few months but really only started seriously using it the last 3 wks or so. I'm doing the Insanity programme just now (nearly at end of week 2). I log on most days and keep my diary open (not that it's always clean eating lol) So any suggestions on better eating etc are welcome. Will add you all and would love to hear from you all. :smile:
