in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone

I just joined - well started to seriously use my fitness pal recently. I signed up a while ago but wasnt serious and over the last week or so have given myself a kick in the bum and started using my fitness pal app and joined the gym.

I have around 84lbs to lose (6 stone to us Brits!) and hoping to lose at least 3 stone before my birthday in 5 months, big 30!

I am getting married next August and would love to lose a large amount by then

I have been messing around for so long but now ready to commit.

would love some friends to keep me motivated along the way, didnt want to add anyone without asking as didnt wanna seem rude!

really look forward to getting to know you all. Ive had a look thru the site and there is so much inspiration here!

    Hello I am in Texas but my Daughter lives in Botley so I feel connected. Just stay under the calorie max and lean into your hunger pain like you would lean into one of those cold winter breezes you get over there. Don't lean so far that you will fall over and don't get so hungry that you wanna knaw your tea kettle. Try some raw ginger root if you get really hungry. Split your meal times in two 5 or six periods not three. As time advances you'll be able to cut deeper under the max calorie count. Heck you guys walk everywhere anyway don't you? Don't just be happy with being a little below the calorie max after a week or so. Try for some big jumps in weight drops. As time moves forward your hunger will fade as does your stone count.
