Hi all

I've just joined this site after having it recommended by a friend.

I have recently stopped smoking and am piling the weight on. I was never a particularly slim person anyway, so this is just giving my confidence a huge kick, to the point that I really dislike what I am starting to look like :(

I sit on my bum most of the day at work, but do have a lovely young labrador who I walk a lot, so that will be where I get most of my exercise.

I am just eating way too much, snacking a lot and generally feeling rubbish!

I am aiming to lose up to 3 stone, although I would be happy at 2 stone, which is where I usually plateau at.

Anyway, I will no doubt be logging on for lots of ideas and support - any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading x

    Hi Daphs

    Welcome to MFP, it is a great tool. I have just got rid of 2.5 stone of extra weight due to age and giving up smoking, so you can do it:)

    Feel free to add me as a friend for support.

    Hi Daphs

    Just sent you a friend request. Feel free to accept me. I have been on this site just over a month and have lost 8.4LB. I am 46 and from Wales, and my diary is open to my friends if you want to have some suggestions on what people eat (I sometimes find this helps give me ideas. So if you want help, support and sometimes humour then add me.
