in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

I'm Dan, I'm 33 years old and I live in Sunderland, England with my 7 year old daughter. I've been using MFP for a week and a half after I came across the app on my Android phone.

I've dieted in the past and lost a fair bit of weight, but it has always gone back on with interest! With the help of MFP and some will power, this time I'm hoping to stick to it and lose just over 100lbs.

I lost 10lbs in my first week! That said, I know from past experience that you tend to lose a lot when you first start dieting. I'm sure the weight loss will even out at a pound or two per week, but as long as I head in the right direction then I'll be happy :)

All the best,
Dan

    congrats dan!! :) i joined a week ago at the same time i started my "lifestyle change" or re-engaged it. i had a big loss to this first week, which has just blown my mind... but i am prepared for the plateau to hit anytime!! i dont want it to be a downer or an excuse to cheat.

    keep up the success!

    Thanks! I hope that seeing how well other people are doing on here will keep me motivated and provide the inspiration I've lacked every time I've "fallen off the wagon" in the past :)

    Dan you have made a great step - I joined here 5 weeks ago and it really has made a difference I was at the low point in my regular yoyo cycle and being here got be through the floor and on down. If you want friends for support etc ping me a request. It helps to have a wee collection of friends in the UK as the time difference can get in the way - foods are different and so on.

    I found the site via Android but use it almost exclusively on the PC but then I am seldom away from a connected PC for more than an hour at a time:smile:

    Cheers John, I appreciate the support. I really feel like this is the end of the yoyoing for me!
