Hello eveyone,
I'm joining after a friend recommended the site to me. I am getting married in two months time (although to be honest I've already got the dress so just need to stay the same or nearly for now) but I've always struggled with my weight due to a love of food, PCOS (hormonal and metabolic disorder) and, as of last week, a suspected non-functioning thyroid too.
So it's always a struggle for me but I think also I eat more than I think so having to fill in the food diary will be interesting for me. I just started this morning and it's already making me think harder about how much I'm eating.

Anyway, hello you all. I'm feeling really excited about this and think that this could be just what I need.

Speak soon,
Lowenna

    I joined about 5 days ago. I love the site. I have not been in any of the chat rooms, but starting that now. It is an eye opener to see how much calories and fat some items have in it. I have so much weight to loose that I keep forgetting it is a one day at a time. I just want it all off now.
