  • How fantastic to see so many of us from the UK on here. I used to use weight loss resources but couldn't afford the site fees:grumble: I couldn't believe my luck when a colleague told me about MFP - it's fantastic and FREE.

    I am from Derbyshire and weigh 14 stone 4 lbs (sounds better written that way than 200lbs!) I am 5 ft 8 and am aiming for 11 stone. 10 stone would be ideal, but maybe too skinny for my height. I long for the day when people tell me I'm too thin though!:bigsmile:

  • Hi there. Just joined MFP. Currently in Banstead (Surrey) but hoping to be in Huddersfield soon. I moved down here to be near my then-boyfriend (now husband) 7 1/2 years ago and got into some bad habits (less exercise and eating more rubbish) which meant that my weight crept up from 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 stone. And there it stayed for a while until I had children. With my daughter the weight came off relatively easily just with breastfeeding, but this time round it's been a bit more of a battle. So last weekend I decided to do something about it. I'm hoping to get back down to 9 - 9 1/2stone (I'm 5" 6). So far I'm not doing too badly. I intend to check for weight loss on Tuesday.

    Nice to get to know everyone!

    Hi, I'm new here from Nuneaton, Warks.

    I've got 14lb to lose before my holiday to Cuba in July, but more importantly I want to be fit enough to keep up with my (very fit) partner and nine year old son while where there!!

    It's nice having a UK thread, look forward to getting to know my new MFP 'neighbours':smile:

    Hello all!
    My name is Paul, I'm 27 and from Dorset, UK

    I'm new to this site but have been losing weight for a few months, I used to weigh 19.3 stone and am currently 12.3 stone (lost 7 stone so far), currently 24.7 bmi, really happy how things have been going with the weight loss.

    I used to have very high blood pressure and a very fast pulse, both are now perfect and my resting heart rate is around 55 bpm which is half of what it used to be!

    Feel free to add me! :smile:
