Hi I'm Shanna, aged 32 and I'm from Walsall in the uk. I have been dieting for what seems like forever and never get anywhere. Probably because I go on these silly fad diets that restrict all the foods I love (cake, chocolate) and I just can't do it.
Well, I came across my fitness pal and thought I'd give it a whirl :)
Any friends to help me on my journey would be very much appreciated as it would be nice to chat to ppl going through the same thing. And I can be there for you too! :) so add me please.

    Hi, Im in London. Wishing everyone luck on their weightloss journey!! lol x
  • Hi there, well been on this since October, and lost 3 stone, but took a break after a belated holiday, loads of driving and even more food, well come on sometimes it is just too good to miss.

    I have no friends, and the support from the family teands to involve a snickers under my pillow, or a fridge full of god dies, I am not good at waiting and have just lost half a stone in the last couples of weeks, I can only do it if it makes a quick difference of I get bored.

    So if you want a fat old Brit as a pal then sign me in, ok...

    Where is Walsall, I will have to google now,
