in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, I'm Lisa aged 39 (40 this year :( ) and I'm new,I found MFP on my ipod and have to say its my favourite app. I want to lose weight and keep it of for the 1st time. I always lose the weight but as soon as I reach my GW I go back to my old eating habits and end up weighing more than before. This seems to be the best diet i've been on and I seem to be eating more.I lost 7 pounds last week but this week so far I haven't even lost a pound :( . I joined about 2 weeks ago and have been enjoying reading everyones post. This site seems very supportive and I just wanted to join in.

Lisa

    Hello and welcome to the board, I am Jackie and I joined in January and I love this site, its so easy to sit down at home and plan my days eating and once I have written it down I tend to stick to it as I hate going over my calories. I am a liitle heavier than you by a few pounds but I have set my goal a little higher. I hope to adjust that as the weight starts to come off. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi & welcome ive been on the site for a few weeks now, im from the UK also.

    I have found this site so helpful so far with the Iphone app as well i can keep track wherever I am.

    Also the people on here are all supportive,(probably because we are all in the same boat).

    Keep strong & if ever you feel its not going right, put it behind, get on the site & speak to people they will
    soon get you back on track.

    Hi there!
    I'm up in Scotland and have been on the site since the beginning of January, it really does change your life! Enjoy :)
    Randomly, we have the same starting weight and goal weight and my week 1 loss was also 7lbs! Weird.
