    Hi Dawn,

    I live just outside Glasgow :)

    I've got 51lbs to lose, and trying to drum up courage to take 'before' pics too! - can't think of better inspiration than working towards an 'after'

    This site is great for forward planning, like tonight we have our traditional annual 'Sh**e Night' where we go see a terrible film at the cinema and eat a mcdonalds and a chippie... With MFP I've been able to forward plan the least damaging combo of foods. before id ahve just wrote the night off and went for it!

    one of the best things on MFP is searching for typical 'meals of old' and discovering just how much I was putting away! - bu they, this is the year to do it!

    Add me if you like,

    Kate xx

    Hi. I'm 25 and in Belfast.

    I started on Jan 2nd with 58lbs to lose and as you can see, I've already lost 22lbs.

    If you need/want any friends then send me a request.

    Greetings and Welcome! I am fairly new too. You are in good company here! Good Luck with your life change, I am trying to look at it this way too this time. 1 - 2 pounds a week over the long haul, anything extra is just a bonus week. I too have 140 to lose but am using 10% at a time as my short term goal.

    I started out with a lot of weight to lose. I am not really sure how bad I got but when I did get on the sale I was 255 but I know I was much bigger than that at one point. I found this one website that has really helped me get into a groove and I follow his workout plan. It has really helped me get on track and lose 42 pounds so far. I still have around 30 or so pounds to lose but I know I will get there. The website is www.fit2fat2fit.com, You should check it out its great.
    I also signed up for a few races this year and going to keep pushing myself to do better so I have actual fitness goals in my life instead of career goals. What good is having a great career if you cant live the life you want? That is something that I never really knew until a few months ago. Well good luck with your journey. Just take it one step at a time.
