Newbie looking to make friends

Hi all,

Brand new to MyFitnessPal and looking to lose some weight and make some friends along the way.

I've struggled with my weight over the years. I've tried diets and exercising but i'll be honest, I either got too complacent or too lazy and ended up right back in the same old rut. No excuse for it really but I was doing it all on my own and getting bored so hoping the social side of this app can help me keep on the straight and narrow this time.

I'm currently 16st 8lb, down from 19st. I got myself down to below 15st but went away on an extended break and ended up eating rubbish of my own volition. As it stands i've found it hard to give up some of the things I like but i've dropped my biggest love (coke) and now live on either water or diluted no-added-sugar blackcurrant. My food choices could use a little work but I find it's a lot better than it was (crisps, cakes, chocolate, etc).

Starting the app and heading to the gym in the morning to see what I can do! Start off on a good note, eh? To be honest I have no idea where to start in the gym but something is better than nothing til I can find my feet.

Please feel free to add me, would love to make some friends here and join them on their journeys, and maybe pick up and share some stories and advice along the way.

Cheers,

Scott
