Hi everyone, My name is Mel and I have been using MyFitnessPal for about 2 weeks now as I have well and truly decided enough is enough, I want to get fitter and healthier (not to mention look a bit nicer in my wedding photo's next year!!)

I'm from Leicestershire in the UK and I'm not sure how the friend thing works but I'm guessing the feed on the front page is a bit like facebook?

So far I have lost 4lb (that was the first week, don't think it'll be as good as that next time!) and been doing DVD's by Davina McCall and also 30 Day Shred. I'm a teacher so finding it easier at the moment as we are on holiday and I have time to do this stuff - I'm hoping by the time we go back I'll be in the habit enough to keep it up!

Anyway, hello from me - I will probably be popping up everywhere asking lots of questions from now on haha!

xx

    Hello hello,

    I'm from a similar part of the world from you - currently living in Nottingham, and LOVE this site. Thought it would be good to begin with, but can't believe quite how useful it's been - total addict!

    Good luck with your journey - I'm sure you'll do amazingly! The support & community on here is awesome!

    If you're looking for motivation/support/friends, please feel free to add me! I'm on here every day (probably too much really, but oh well!!)
