Hi All

New to this site, googled calorie counting and this appeared, how did i not hear about this before? :noway:

Anyway i'm a 27 year old gal who decided this morning it's time to make a change to my diet/lifestyle as i know this is the problem. I am a big fan of exercise/the gym but tell myself I can eat what I want - eh how wrong am i? :ohwell: i am tipping 11stone and only 5ft1 :sad:

I live in Ireland so would like some Irish/UK friends but any friends are welcome!

Thanks Everyone for give this a read :)
Thanks
Elcy:smile:

    Hiya, I have been looking for a motivational buddy to text/IM though I don't know if you'd be interested? I am 28, in England :)

    Hey,

    I started off at 12+stone earlier this year and have lost my weight mostly using exercise to build the deficit. I lift heavy three times a week, do cardio when I can be bothered and walk a lot.

    All that means that I can eat like an absolute pig (2000 calories a day on average but sometimes more).

    I'm always happy to have friends who love the gym and food.

    :)
