in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Dani and I am a 24 year old psychology student from the UK. I've always had issues regarding my weight and spent most of my teen years obese. I managed to lose nearly 40 lbs alone and got myself into the higher end of the healthy BMI range. Someone recommended this site to me so I could meet people trying to adopt a healthier life style so I thought I would give it a try and hopefully make some friend along the way and we can help each other through this.

I'm here not just to lose weight but just change my views on food and life I guess. I'm not really a fan of fad diets (I've tried and failed way too many >.>) so I'm here not to diet but to just learn to eat right, be healthy and hopefully the weight will come off in time.

Please feel free to add me and let's help each other through this =)

    Hi Dani I'm Katie.
    Although I was not obese at any point in my life, I have problems with dealing with food too. I always overeat because of no self control and then feel super bad/guilty about it. I hope you don't mind if I add you as friend :)

    Welcome to MyFitnessPal, a little conversation does wonders sometimes in terms of motivation.
    I have lost about the same amount and have a similar BMI. Good luck to you.
