Looking for UK based females for inspiration, motivation and support. I'm 29 and live in Cheshire, and have a goal of one stone to lose, which doesn't sound like much, but trust me, it's a challenge for me!
I've been on MFP before but I found out this week that I'm being made redundant from my job and as I will be looking for jobs in the fitness industry (I'm currently a marketing manager for a chain of gyms), I need to make sure I am in the best shape possible and feeling confident. (It's amazing what just 14 extra pounds can do to your confidence)
As exercise will play a big role in my journey I would love some friends who exercise regularly, so we can help motivate each other.
Thank you

Hi!
I have decided to finally sort myself out. I want to lose 2-3 stone! I am sticking to a 1,200 cal diet and exercising lightly (due to health problems)
I am from the West Midlands
I'll add you as a friend. I find having people as friends and being able to talk to them/ comment on their progression helps a lot! I feel very motivated just because of this.0 -

Hi I'm Helen, 32 from Gateshead nr Newcastle. I'm looking to lose 2-3 stone to get back to the weight I was when I was in my 20s. I'm doing the 30 day shred at the minute and also zumba, hope to get back to the gym after that. Feel free to add me, I could do with some more UK based friends to push me.0

Hi!
I'm 25 from the West Midlands, have been on MFP a couple of times over the years but never stuck to it because as soon as I eat something bad and go over my allowance I give up!!
This time I'm taking it slow and not denying myself the bad (good!) stuff but doing it in moderation. I would love to finally lose a stone that I gained at Uni and have never lost...
Some support would be lovely and would love to help others as well!

Hi I am Claire from Ipswich, Suffolk and an oldie at 52!
My son is getting married on 6th Sept this year so I need to lose 2 and a half stone by the time I am looking for my outfit! I have a 2 week cruise in June so I aim to lose my weight by then, so I have time to get it off again, oops!
I go to the gym but have some health problems, which sometimes set me back!
Anyway no excuses!0 -

Hi, I'm Kayleigh, I'm 25 years old and currently living in Horsham, West Sussex. I'm on here to lose as much as I can (the right way) in the next 18 months before I get married next year!
I have been on MFP for a while now, but only really used it for the diary and haven't really been a part of the community - which was a shame as I've just found the community to be so supportive and encouraging. Feel free to add me0 -
Hi

Hi,
I'm Sarah and I'm 26 from Sheffield. I've lost weight with MFP before and think its brilliant but unfortunately I got out of the habit of tracking and I'm now at my heaviest I want to lose about 70-80lbs
I figured a good way of keeping myself accountable this time would be to have more friends on my list to push me and hopefully the social side of things will help!! Feel free to add me!!

Hi
I'm Viv, Nice to see some UK girls on here
I am 46 and live in East Anglia. Its my first time on MFP, I need to loose a 2.5 stone. I am going to the gym 2 or three times a week and hopefully getting my dogs fitter too (they love it). I am fairly fit, but my previous job (hated it and just quit and retrained, poorer but happier) revolved around social events and the bar and I just love food and feeding my family, I have Adult sons so healthy food but portions are hefty.
After a year of 'messing about' I am now determined at 40 I was a size 12 who ate what she wanted time to ditch the comfort eating.0 -
