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.

    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:
