Hallllllllllooooo to everyone

I'm a 41 year old Yorkshire lass who has through mainly health rubbish put on a ton of weight over the last few years.
In the next few weeks long term steroid treatment looks to be on the cards for me also so I needs to do something now!!!

I started with my local GPs healthy weight clinic and going to the gym for the first time in 2 years and in a week I have lost 2.5 lbs of fat just by shifting my *kitten* and adjusting but not going mad with my diet.

Found this site a few days ago and it looks like this could be the last piece of the puzzle for me and great tool to stay motivated .

I really look forward to getting to know you all and sharing our ups and downs :happy:

    Welcome! I'm fairly new also. What I am finding is that if I get on here and read the community boards, it keeps me out of the fridge. :wink:

    Lots of good tips, and sometimes there are post that have absolutely nothing to do with weight loss but are completely fun.

    Good luck!

    Hi Jojo, and welcome to MFP,

    I live in Yorkshire, but I'm from the Midlands originally. I've been on the site about 3 weeks now and find it great for support and motivation, as well as food tracking. I'm sure you will too. Feel free to add me if you want to .....
