Hello all! I'm Susy and I am originally from the UK but now living in Italy. Unfortunately here there are no slimming clubs or help :s I downloaded this app hoping that I can be successful in losing 30 kilos! (Or 65 lbs) I weigh 90 kilos, 14 st 2 or 198lbs....all three are terrible!!! I would love to make friends and need encouraging. I'm a single mum so I want to be healthy for my daughter. I have two cats Baloo and Tommasina. Please add me as a friend xxx ;)

    Hello, I'm an American living in Italy for over 30 yrs. I live in Rome. You will do fine just using MFP if you stay within your calorie goal everyday, and weigh and measure everything you eat and drink. Get a digital food scale. You can exercise at home if you want to, or walk alot. Walking is easy to do in Italy. Most Italian foods are in the data base, so you're good to go. Wishing you luck and you can ask questions if there's something you don't know. Best.

    Welcome to MFP its all about the food!! dont worry to much about what you eat as long as you stay in your calorie budget however it is always better to keep the diet clean and also try keeping more active take walks / play in the park with your daughter that sort of thing. Good Luck - feel free to add me if you like
