in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

New to this site and will be starting my healthy lifestyle change as from tomorrow! I'm Natasha from Morecambe, Lancashire, UK, 28 y/o, recently single after a 6 year relationship, mummy to a 17 month old and have been your classic yo-yo dieter since the age of 14! I'm hoping with the support of this site and tracking my food will finally help me shed the weight. I have over 9st to lose so have a very long journey ahead of me.

I am looking for buddies too. :)

    Hi Natasha

    I have about the same amount of weight to lose as you, and I only joined five days ago but already I have lost a good few pounds. I think it is the fact that tracking everything makes me aware of the snacking I didn't seem to notice before ;-)

    Good luck, and I am sure you will start seeing results very soon - I hope the sunny weather and the thought of getting out on the beach with your little one keeps you going :-)

    Hi,
    I live in Lincolnshire on the fens, have 10 1/2 stone to lose & have yo-yoed all my life. I am 49 & holding on very tight, have 3 children all grown up, am disabled, live with my lovely husband & a mad briard dog plus 2 bengal cross cats. Feel free to add me if you think I can help. I have to lose it this time & learn to keep it off even when I am under stress (every time I have regained weight plus a little bit more it has been when something has gone badly wrong in life).Good luck & tracking even bad days is the way forward because you learn what makes you tick & also you often find that you have not been as "bad" as you think you have so don't go & have a blow out after a small bit of naughtiness

    Hi, found this site about 3 months ago, and it really keeps me on track, and all my MFP friends are great motivators! Feel free to add me, but do go to the UK groups... we have Team UK, and some local UK groups (eg about 15 of us so far near Portsmouth), and there is a new UK challenge running for another 6 weeks, Southern Softies vs Northern Numpties vs Scotland - the Scots won the first week! Second week being calculated today.
    Welcome and good luck!
