Hi im from Saltcoats too x

Hello all - I live in Glasgow and work in Edinburgh so straddle the central belt of the country. Over the past 4 years since I started in my current job I have found my weight creep up by about 1 lb every couple of months. That's not a lot, but after 48 months I'm now about 20 lbs over weight. I don't really want to 'diet' as that is a false set of circumstances and leads to weight regain when you 'go off the diet'. I speak from horrendous experience having spent my early adult years yo-yo dieting and at one point swinging by as much as 5 stones. I promised myself NO MORE DIETS and I'm sticking to that.

I now generally eat very healthily but obviously have an excercise and portion control balance problem. It only takes a few extra calories a day to add up to a 1lb every couple of months. So I'm hoping this app I have on my phone will keep me on the right side and by watching the intake and excerise output I can take a few extra calories off and start going down at that pace rather than up.

So far I've lost a couple of lbs since I started 2-3 weeks ago but only just found the website, as my daughter pointed me in this direction. She says that people on here are very supportive, so I hope that we can all encourage each other in the right direction.

Hello all!!

Just joined last week and have been taking things seriously since Monday. So very early days although I'm finding the phone app is keeping me motivated. Got about 26lb to shift after getting down to almost goal and then regaining about 19lb after 6 very lazy, face stuffing months. With my new Gym membership sorted and this place I should be shrinking again in no time :-)

Good luck to everyone n looking forward to chatting with you all xx

Hiya everyone

I'm Ali and I'm in Hamilton. I have a few Scottish pals so will let them know about the group. I've been on MFP since April this year and lost just under 40lbs - I estimate I have around 5 or so to go. haven't lost much the last 2 - 3 months as just been focusing on maintaining but going to dig in and get the last of it off now!
I'm exercise daft and going to start my first round of Insanity on 26th Dec. Looking forward to getting to know you all (those I don't know already ).

Hi All,

Scottish by adoption, have lived here just over 27 years, I live in beautiful Perthshire and have recently taken up zumba in our local town hall. Its better than a 45 mile round trip to the gym with petrol the way it is. my morning walk was chilly and blustery but the high light was watching 2 red squirrels playing in the leaves (what a beautiful place)

Hello! Just joined the group. I live in Alexandria otherwise known as the Vale...just a 15 minute walk away from Loch Lomond:drinker: !

Hi all, I live in Port Glasgow, this is my umpteenth time dieting, ive yoyo-ed continuously, but im turning 30 this year and have genuinely had enough! So, I started seriously yesterday, and have had a great first day today and Im hopeful I can stick to it! Pleas feel free to add me as a friend for support and good luck everyone!

With the way the weather's been recently - anyone any ideas on how to incorporate gales into resistance routines ?

Walk into them on the way there and walk backwards on the way home! :bigsmile:
That doesnt make sense does it?

Hello all :-) I'm up in Moray. Lost 5 stone a few years ago (needed to lose 7) but have slowly but surely put backon nearly 3! Used weight watchers before going to try here first this time as the iPhone app is great
