I have been unhappy with the weight I've been piling on over the last 3 years but have not been very good at dieting and didn't really know what to do about it. I have an underactive thyroid which doesn't help either.

I had an iphone for Christmas and was mooching through the free apps when I saw an app for myfitnesspal. I have been keeping track of everything I've eaten and any exercise I've been doing (mostly walking, to work or out with the dogs) on my phone. I've only just realised there is a website full of people like myself, wanting to lose some weight and get fitter :happy:

myfitnesspal has made me think more about what I'm eating and how much exercise I'm getting, or not as the case may be! I would ideally like to lose around 3 stone in weight this year...I do not know if this is feasible or not...but if there is anyone out there who is thinking along the same lines it would be nice to talk to you and do this together :-)

Please feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

    I just found this site today and I'm already impressed with it. I entered some foods I've been eating and was very surprised at some of the calories I have been putting into my body. Good luck!

    Hi, I'm new on here today - it looks great and already I can see it's going to be so useful, may I add you as a friend? I think support is probably quite important. I have a fair bit to lose!
    Cheers!
