Hello from Scotland

Hi..............erm I dont really know what to say or do I have never been on a forum before but I really enjoy reading all the posts. I have had this app for about 18months and never really used it. I am a 33 year old mum of 2 and I am fed up playing with all these silly diets I am ready to make a change in my life and hopefully with some support from guy I can lose the 100lbs I have to lose. I dont want to be the fat mum anymore that has to pretends I dont like rollercoaster or swings because I am scared I will get stuck or the bar wont close over me . I want to join in the fun and take my kids places we can all join in I am sick of standing on the side lines holding the jackets. So come join me on my journey and add me.

I am looking forward to sharing my stories along the way and hearing about how you are all getting on :heart:

    Hello there. I started with this app about a week ago and have lost 4 pounds!! It makes counting the calories really easy. I'm not much of an online forum person either but we all need some encouragement from time to time :-) best of luck with your weight loss. I' m sure you can do it!! Best wishes from Hertfordshire :smile:

    Well *kitten*! I was just informed that because I wasn't born there I can no longer claim to be Scottish. I've always been proud of my fams Scottish heritage. Don't want to piss anyone off over there. I better let everyone in my family know that we can no long say that we are Scottish-Americans.

    anyways.... Welcome to MFP.
