Hey all.
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Mimi. I'm 26 and i live in Manchester.

I don't exercise enough, and have a monthly bus pass so its very much abused.

I'm also an office worker working late shifts so eating in the evening is proving difficult.

Any advice, support would be great. My doctor told me to use this app to track my food.

I suppose I'm in denial that i want to loose weight.

Mimi x

    Hello! Welcome to MFP :)
    I can totally relate with the bus pass. I had a yearly pass when I was in college and I would get the bus EVERYWHERE!
    You've made a great choice by joining this site, I hope you find it useful!
    Feel free to add me if you like :)

    I was born in Manchester but we moved to Rhyl, North Wales 10 years ago...but I go back to Manc every Sunday to visit my Dad and my 2 sons.

    My advice is try to plan your day on the food chart each morning and do your best to stick with it.

    Walking is a great exercise to get you started, maybe get off the bus 1 stop early and walk the rest of the way to work?

    Good luck you can do it!
