Hey everyone, how're you doing?

I casually used MFP with aim to lose 2-3 stone a few months ago but after the 1 stone milestone I became lax and eventually stopped.

I'm back and ready to go again.

I'm male and in my mid 20's, I live in Lincolnshire and while I don't think I'm thin by any stretch of imagination, I'm also not uncomfortable with the weight I currently am. That being said, I've decided and think it's a good idea to keep going to something more reasonable and healthier.

In general I'm slightly unorganised and as I work nights my routine and logging is a bit dodgy as my "day" crosses dates. If anyone wants to chat and friend someone that's pretty relaxed but also still has a goal that they're heading for, feel free to hit me up. It'll also help me to keep active to speak with other like-minded people.

Really I just wanted to say hi though :)

- Red

    Great work Red! I have just managed to shed 3st 6lbs over a 9 months period to go back to my weight of 6 years ago. Too many kebab winters and life events. I did not use MFP to start with but managed with daily calorie deficits and I have completely addicted to daily weighing. For yourself I assume that you'd have to weigh in after what has become your nights sleep. I assume it's at a kind of constant time. I have also gone back to running after I've shed 1st but only gently so. Now I am running regularly and partake in park runs etc. There must be one round the corner. Motivation is hard to sustain. I have been driven. My withings body scale and activite pop were great help plus a GPS running watch. All these gizmos are great for me to keep going. My motivation was fuelled by self-hatred of my body image too. You seem rather content with your. All the best.

    Good morning all,

    I've just had my second baby and I really need to lose weight now, no more excuses. So I have committed to signing in and honestly noting down everything I'm eating for the next 100 days, no more wee extra's in the evening!

    Ey up from Yorkshire.
    I'm like you also, cam be pretty lackesed but my wife has laid down the gauntlet of a six pack, and I'm determined to do it. I log everything now. I've set my macro's to what I know is correct and I will do it. I have a couple of really good friends who know their stuff so I'm utilising them as info. Add me if you want, my diary is open and I'm totally honest on it
