Hi lovely peeps x
I am new (obviously lol) and joined this website to start my long and hard road to weight loss. I hope to get to know lots of you and make some new lovely friends x
If there is anything you want to know about me, please feel free to ask lol I am just over 18stone 7lbs and know that my ideal weight according the the "normal" BMI for my height (I am 5ft 9inches) is 11 stone but that is never going to happen. I am trying to be realistic and aim to get to a size 14 / 16. I have always been large so not going for the "thinner than a toothpick" look :-D but I would like to feel confident in the clothes I wear and be able to shop in a supermarket without the dirty looks and hurtful comments x
Love Perkies x

Hello guys! My daughter got me into this trying to help me loose weight. She and her boyfriend use it and it has helped them alot. I am hoping for some good results. Best thing about this sight is that it makes you responsible for your own weight and doings. I hope to make some new friends and help and be helped. Nice to meet you all!0

Hi there! Where are you from? I don't know what a stone is! I'm in the US and we go by pounds. Welcome here! What plan are you following? i'm on the 17 Day Diet and have lost 32 lbs. since May. I hope to lose another 30 by my one year anniversary, and am confident that I can do it. You can do it too! Good luck! Nancy...aka Countrygal6760

Journey won't seem so bad when you have lots of MFP friends watching out for you. Good to see how others cope with times like Christmas and birthdays. Remember to include NSVs (non scale victories) in your posts that make you feel good about your progress - smaller size clothes/faster walk or jog. Also good to join challenges such as "lose 10 pounds challenge in Jan". Good luck with your goals.0
