in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys,
I've just joined and already love how easy this site is to use.

I'm 30 and live in Manchester. I love gym classes such as body combat and spinning however although I do these regularly I'm still overweight because I just eat way too much!!!

Anyway, I would love some friends to journey along with so if you want to add me then please do so.

    Hiya.

    I'm Kate...been doing this a week and loving it. I live just outside Skipton. I'm the same as you; pretty fit and like running and Body pump, but just eat a bit too much! It's been a real eye opener really being honest with myself about portion sizes. I nearly fell over when I saw how many calories I've been eating in peanut butter alone!! haha

    Also, my down fall is wine...getting into the habit of half a bottle a couple of times a week and then alot more at weekends. God sounds like I should be at AA not MFP!!

    Anyway, I'm doing little things to make long term changes. Weighing food, buying those little one glass bottles of red wine and cans of Gin and slimline tonic and letting myself have a drink with a meal if I fancy it. I've only had one drink this week as I've been so motivated to lose a few pounds.

    Anyway, I would be happy for you to add me. I'll definitely be encouraging as when we talk it you've got to be doing it yourself eh?

    Best wishes, Kate

    I also do a lot of gym classes and kick boxing and do a fair of walking around and cycling around this pretty island I live on. Love my food though, which is a challenge, especially at weekends!!
