in Introduce Yourself
Hiya Guys!!!

Im new here and wanted to say hi!

Ive tried (and failed) at EVERY diet known to man and am currently at my heaviest I have been for a long time. I have realised though that no 'fad' diets work and it all boils down to eating less (and healthier) and moving more. I have NEVER tried calorie counting in my life so its a totoally new thing to me and Im currently feeling overwhelmed by it, but im sure after a few days and a good read on this site I will get my head around it!

Anyway, heres to a new me and hopfully the start of a positive and happy journey whilst making a few friends long the way! x

    Welcome to MFP! I was just like you. My husband came home one day and I was still sitting in the same place I was when he left for work that morning. I have 3 girls here at home and I couldn't even keep up with them.
    This site has worked wonders for me. I will always be thankful to the friend who introduced me to it!
    I really hope it helps you, and motivates you in all the right areas. If you would like a friend just shoot me a request.

    Welcome, you will love this site if you do everything you're suppose to it works. The support is amazing and it helps to log in your food and exercise. It makes you accountable to yourself which is most important. You can do this.

    I'm new too... anyone feel free to friend request me as well. I think the support here looks fantastic and I agree about the calorie counting stuff. I have always felt that it was complicated and too time consuming. This makes it so easy here, and yes... holding yourself accountable is the only way to take control of your body, life, and health. Hoping to learn a lot from other people and perhaps I can be of some help as well. :)
