Well Howdy

Well Hi! *wave*

I'm Gemma, also known as MGP (Metal Gear Panda :D)

I've been in this battle now for a long time but only started using MFP recently when I discovered it for Android, must say, it's a nifty app that helps, and is realistic!

I've recently bought Zumba fitness dvd's although I have been going to classes for a year, I actually enjoy doing stuff at home, I dont feel like people are watching me fail when I'm in the room on my own wailing in the wind.

So far I've lost a stone and 2 lbs altogether since I started. Which is a big deal for me anyway!

About me, I'm scottish, I have a love of Ice Hockey and Ice Skating, I love metal music and am a bookworm. Not much else to me really, oh and I'm 26. :) I am also a gamer geek. I play World of Warcraft among other things.

So hope I get a warm welcome :D

    Hello there! Welcome to MFP! You'll love the support and encouragement you can find here. You'll be amazed at how this community of strangers engages with one another regardless of where everyone's at on reaching their goals. Tons of great ideas for food, exercise, and other tips can be found here, too.

    Ps. What is a "stone"? I've seen others use that reference but I don't have any idea of what that equates to in kg or lb. :blushing:

    No worries Leah

    A stone over here equates to 14lbs. It's just the metric system used in a different way :)
