Hello everyone,

Hope everyone OK.

Just joined the website as from tomorrow I'm going to commit losing weight and start going the gym. I've tried several times before but could never find the motivation to carry on.

My stats at the moment are 18.7st(259lbs) - I'm hoping to get down to 14st(192lbs) - hopefully by Christmas time.

I've just taken some picture of my body etc so hoping start seeing the progress in a couple of months and see some change. I've read some success stories on here and it proves that it can be done.

Anyway hope your all doing well with training.

Martin

    Hi Martin

    Welcome to MFP

    My name is Emma an d live in Halifax, West Yorkshire, I started my weight loss journey weighing 18 stone 2lbs (254lbs) i lost 60lbs through doing the Slimming World diet and exercise 4-5 times a week. That was last summer but then my marriage ended and I have since regained 20lbs. Last Monday I decided I had to finish my weight loss journey so I joined MFP weighing 15 stone 4lbs (214bs) in that two weeks I have lost 6.7lbs and would still like to lose another 39lbs

    Good luck with your journey and going to the gym. I used to love the gym but now I don't get chance so I have ordered a cross trainer for home
