Hi all!
I'm Paul and I've used the MFP app before, but always seem to fall out of the habit after a few weeks. A friend of mine recommended that I sign up to the forum to get some extra support, so here I am! =)

I'm 36, married and father to a beautiful daughter who's getting worried about Daddy's health. If ever there was an incentive to try and kick some weight, it's that. However, I do miss the feel of community that comes with a slimming club, so I hope I can get some of that here.

Fingers crossed! =D

P.

    Well I'm kinda new as well I can join this party. Everybody needs a kick in the butt now and then. I've also recently been ready to give up on MFP and my exercise and dieting regime. So with a little help from a friend I'm sure we'll all be ready for the summer. xx

    Hi P! Welcome back! I've only been on MFP for about 3 weeks, but I've stayed motivated by other members, especially my new MFP friends. Feel free to add me if you'd like. Good luck to you!

    Hi Paul, I use to feel to fat to take my grandchildren swimming. But what was more important? I feel fat or the quality time I share with the children. Now on Thursday I take my five year old granddaughter to her lesson and then swim with her on my back, oh what fun we have. Friday I take my thirteen year old grandson to his lesson and swim in the aside of him, he then tells me how well I have done at we get to spent quality time together too. The weight is disappearing, YEAHH
