edited September 19 in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! Just a quick intro from a new member. My name's Lisa and I'm from Australia, married for almost 4 years to a very lovely Englishman, and have struggled with my weight since I was 13. Upon reaching about 132kg at the turn of the new year, I decided it was time to make this year the year I get back to the weight I should be, about 70kg! (A kilogram is just over 2lb, btw).

So I've been entering my food info, and going to the gym regularly, and incorporating a lot of proper fresh food cooking into my daily life. I feel better for it already, and can't wait to get to know everyone!

    Welcome! I had the honor to live in Australia for nearly 5 years and would love to move back again for a longer period. You have a wonderful country -- I particularly loved going to Tamworth every year with my mates from work.

    You might find this link useful to help you get an exercise plan put together along with some eating suggestions for the future.

    You'll do really well here on MFP.
