Hi there, thought I would introduce myself and see if anyone would like to become a dieting buddy with me. I'm 24 and from Scotland and I weigh 13stone 1 pound. That puts me into the obese catagory for my 5ft 1inch frame unfortunately. I am looking to get down to 9st 7pounds if I'm being realistic. I have always been on the larger side, but I feel as though I'm suffocating just now. I am completely new to this site, but feel it might be helpful in losing weight. Anyone here need to lose around 50 pounds too?

    Hi Amanda,

    I've not been on here very long either. I started at 14 stone and initially want to get down to 12, then I'll decide where to go from there depending on how I feel!

    I've added you, maybe we can encourage each other!

    :)

    Hi Amanda, I've actually got about another 100lbs still to lose! But i've already lost 50lbs so its not impossible! Just try your hardest and don't give up even when you have a bad day, just get back up and start again!!!! Good luck!

    Hi Amanda,

    I'm also in Scotland!

    I have a similar goal to you. I want to lose 54 lbs. I lost 5 lbs in my first week of MFP - yay!

    I've been addicted to MFP since joining less than 2 weeks ago, logging your intake is so easy and helps keep you on track.

    You get great support & inspiration on here.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend.
