New start. New me. New body. New friends? :)

Howdy fitness friends!

This is my 2nd time joining MyFitnessPal (forgot my log in details after a long lazy break from eating carefully & consciously). The food diary here helped me stay within healthy weight-gain guidelines throughout my whole 2nd pregnancy, which is testament to how great this site is, as i gain weight easily and lumped-on 70lbs during my 1st pregnancy w/o the help of MFP.
I also managed to lose all my baby weight plus a bit extra whilst here last time, but after almost hitting my weight-loss goal i basically became complacent and thought i could eat what i wanted now i was quite slim. Err, NO! So obviously the weight crept back on and im ashamed to say i got up to nearly 11 stone. At only 5ft1" tall that is well over my healthy weight.

Ive managed to lose 6lbs over the past month and a half, by eating healthier foods in smaller portions, without MFP, but last week my weight actually increased so i decided to come running back to MFP to help me shed the remaining 20lbs for my initial target weight.

Anyway, whilst im here it would be great to share the journey with other MFPers - the support n encouragement you can share with friends sharing a common goal is invaluable i think, so im open to meeting new pals here along the way.

Anyone feel free to message me anytime,
Marie from Derby, England.

    Hi Carli.

    Ah, totally! I always get complacent when ive been eating well and losing nicely and think i can go it alone, when reality is i need all the help i can get! Ha!
