Hi everyone from Aberdeen

Lost 4.5lbs in my first week tracking on MFP so long may it continue!

Hello all!

I'm from the Glasgow area but been studying up in Dundee for the past 3 years, halfway through my last one so will be returning to the west coast soon! Will be sad to leave my Dundee gym though!

Been using this site on and off for a while but trying to stick with it properly this time. Feel free to add me - I still have no friends on here! ;_;

Hey, Im from Aberdeen

Looking for friends, so add me!

hello to you all from a rather frosty Aberdeen

Hi
I'm Helen and live in Clackmannanshire. Started using the phone app sometime last year but only for a wee while. Just came back on Saturday with a determination I've never had before. Theres a long way to go...my goal is to get down to about 140 lbs (I'm 190 just now)!!! I've just started using slimfast for brekky and lunch and having a weight watchers dinner and also started Zumba which I'm loving!!!! Would be nice to make some friends who's also in this weight loss game so we can support each other. Good luck everyone.

Recently joined MFP to try and drop a bit of weight target was initially 15lbs and I'm half way there in what seems indecent haste. Having knowledge of calorific intake fits in well with exercise regime, and initial progress better than I thought.

Live in Nairn and a fair weather runner, so all gym work at the moment, as I don't like running in the cold (woose, I know). Currently training for the Inverness half marathon on 11 March. Usually do 10Ks so half is a step up. Don't know if I'll make it, but enjoying the training - most of the time! Just back from 7K on the treadmill at the local gym......

Will be good to compare notes with fellow Scots, so feel free to be my first MFP friend!

Hiya everyone

I am Alison and I am originally from a town called Wishaw in Lanarkshire about 30miles outside Glasgow. I am now based in Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire. I have been an MFP member for about 1.5yrs now and I did lose nearly a stone but fell away and back to square 1 again.

It would be nice to have some locals that we possibly arrange to meet up to keep the motivation going as I am really struggling, even if just to attempt some running as cannot really afford to go to classes (which is why MFP is so great!).

Please feel free to add me as a friend and take it from there - all friends welcome not just Aberdeen!!!!!

Thanks :happy:

Hi guys....... i am from East kilbride but living in livingston now.

started with MFP 2 weeks ago, although have lost 56lbs over the previous 2 years. the weight was starting to creep up again and needed something to focus me on the right path again... found MFP and even better........ 'Tartan trimmers'!!!!!

still need to lose another 14-18lbs......... this bit is the hardest as everyone keeps telling me how 'wonderful/fabulous etc etc i look now compared to before but i want to get into the 'normal' BMI zone and STAY there.

Go to the gym 5 x wk, do Body combat/attack/pump & CX works......... still didn't lose anything this week tho!! just have to keep going.

Anyone use the scanner on the i phone app? It's excellent!

I use on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) and it's really handy although it sometimes picks up odd products from the list.

I had a family bag of Cadbury's mini eggs left over from last year and when I scanned the barcode, it gave me mini eggs but supposedly from Canada!! weird :noway:

I use it on new products because I've got most of my regular items loaded in my diary/my meals or recipes already! :happy:

All the time...it really is good

Hi Jen! I'm in Glasgow and about a year further down the line than you - I've lost about 6 stone in that time. Don't think of it as a massive journey, take it one step at a time. Lose the first lb, keep at it, lose another lb...

When I started last year I set my goal weight with no real expectation that I'd be able to reach it, but every day I worked my butt off and watched what I ate (with the odd bad day!) and the weight just came off steadily. Now that I'm close to my original goal I've decided that I'm not going to stop there - the remaining belly fat has to go! my mindset has changed from "can I do it?" to "I CAN do it!"

You CAN do it too!

Hi. I am in Leith (Edinburgh) I just started this 4 weeks ago. I'm a mum of 2. Son age 11 and Daughter age 7 and partner age ... well I don't think he would be happy if I told anybody!

I have rheumatoid Arthritis and Polymyositis. Both are auto immune illnesses. One effects my joints and the other effects my muscles. You should see me do my Frankenstein walk in the morning!!

I became very ill 2 years ago and was put on 90mg steroids a day. well....... I managed to put on 6 stone in 3 months. Not a good look. It has taken me this long to realise that I need to get of my sofa and do something about it. I have well over 100lbs to lose so it's going to be a looooooong walk.

Glad to see there are a few Scot's here. Hopefully you guys will know what I mean when I talk about stovies!!

I need all the support and motivation I can get, so feel free to send me a message and friend invite.

Good luck to one and all x

Oh, ps. I don't mind saying I am 41 (feel like 22 on a good day and 122 on a bad!)
