Hi Guys,
I just joined MFP yesterday and thought i would say hello to the community and introduce myself.
I'm Mandy, i live in scotland and i'm 21 years old just about to graduate with a degree in Geology.
I am currently just over 11 and a half stone (164lbs) which i know isn't all that bad but am trying my fitness pal as i want to shrink back down to what i was before i started university (10 stone,140lbs), a Diet of pot noodles, microwave macaroni and beer with little sleep and a lot of stress nibbling hasn't helped.
I Guess my main motivations are that I miss wearing my old clothes i haven't had the heart to throw them out in the hope i can wear them again and dieting is cheaper than a new wardrobe
and also that i have a very large family and i am determined to show the "fat gene" who is boss.
I hope that i can make some friends on here to help me, i'll need all i can get (and i can do what i can to help in return).
