in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

My name is Adie, I'm 27 and my weight loss story is a bit of a long one. For many years I'd tried to lose weight with every style of plan, Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Cabbage Soup Diet (yeah... I know) but to no avail. Finally in 2009 (whilst I was still living in the UK) I managed to lose about 30 kilos and then a few years later some more. BUT... for the last few months some of the lbs have started creeping back on. So I thought I would give this site a try. Also, I never made it to my final goal and was still about 20 kilos away, so I'd like to finally finish what I started. Anyway... the reason I am posting is because I'd really like to get in touch with some people for mutual support and to share ideas and positive motivation. Is there anyone out there who is in need of the same?

Adie

    Hi Adie from Ady and welkom bij MFP :)

    I've been here a while, and weight was starting to go in the wrong direction, so could use so new motivation too.

    Good luck!

    Hi Adie,

    I just joined MFP today :-)

    I have about 20kg to loose, so I am hoping I will stick to this. I am also from the Netherlands, I live close to Eindhoven.

    I am also looking for some support, so I am happy to cheer you on! :)

    Hi, I lived in Germany for 12 years but recently moved to Italy. Mir fehlt Deutschland sehr! Always happy to have more positive friends to share this with - especially if they're in the same time zone! Add me if you like.
    I'm in the process of shifting 30kgs. Calorie counting isn't sexy but it works if you make it work. No magic, no gimmicks, just you in control. And us, all here to cheer each other along and share ideas, have a vent once in a while then get back on track and keep moving. Also los :)
    Anyone can add me if they like. A message with a friend request would be nice.
