Hey all.
From the UK here, i joined about 20 mins ago after 2 weeks finally deciding that i need to change me and my life.
Im hefty (a uk size 18), very unhappy about my weight and with just about zero confidence.
I would like to make some friends and learn to like myself again as the weight comes off.
I need to lose about 8 stone and i feel very overwhelmed. I lost 5lbs last week and none so far this week since my weigh in monday.
Anyway, would love to make friends with likeminded people.
Looking forward to chatting!
Lee x

    Hi Leeanne
    I'm new too. Hoping to lose weight and strengthen my core as I've had back,neck, knee and foot problems.
    All the best to you.

    Click profile on your home page and there's a ticker on there with an option to edit your ticker. Then in the message boards click settings and put a tick in the check box to show it :)

    Hello, I've been doing this since June of last year. Welcome to MFP, it's a great place to get support and advice. There are some people who can get a bit negative but overall this is a really great place full of people in different stages of their journey who are willing to provide support, advice, and a listening ear.

    Feel free to send me a friend request, I do my best to help you. :smile:
