    *waves* I'm in the UK too and have a similar weightloss/get healthy goal.
    I'm 6 weeks in to using MFP and it's really helped me to be more mindful about what I eat, and to see what exercise does for me.
    Hope you'll find it just as helpful.

    I am on a 110 pound journey as well, i started on March 2, 2014 after returning from a work trip to the UK - I barely was able to fasten my seatbelt - I thought "This is not good, I am at the limit of what Air Canada thinks a passenger should measure"

    I started my usual diet when I got home, lost 10 pounds in a couple of weeks.. But i'm sure i was on the road to giving up if it wasn't for MyFitnessPal... I stated using it mid March, and I love it, I always know where I stand at any time of the day. MFP lead me to use a sister APP, FitBit and i have since added a FitBit One (Step Counter) and a FitBit Aria(WiFi Scale) to my routine... which lead to buying a treadmill and moving up my daily step goal to 20,000

    there are days where I start the day off with 45 to 60 minutes on the treadmill, go thru the day and at 8 PM get back on the treadmill to get from 12,500 steps to 20,000 on these days my "Net Calories" are actually negative

    All because of the positive change that having all the info supplied by MFP

    You can ABSOLUTELY do this

    Talk to you in 10 pounds

    As of this morning I have lost 40.2 pounds (In 3 months) and have never been so convinced that i will reach my goal
