edited October 1 in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, I'm not new. In fact today I logged my 120th day on MFP. Why you ask am I writing in the introduce yourself forum? Well I am looking for more friends to motivate me and who possibly share the same goals I have.

I am 29, from Dorset in UK ( would love friends from anywhere but would love more UK friends) I am looking to lose a further 53lbs before my 30th birthday next March. I love the gym and swimming and am soon going to be starting the C25K challenge. I love to be active and am not a sit and do nothing person. I got overweight through bad eating and have educated myself to eat better now. I am proud of my journey so far and hope to inspire other people with my journey.

Feel free to add me :)

    I'm not from England but would love to be your friend for mutual support and motivation on this journey. I have just under 60 more lbs to go. I'll send a friend request. :)

    Hey, Monkeymin :) It's a pleasure to meet you. Last August, I bought an elliptical for my home and huffed and puffed on it to start losing the weight I put on during a miserable 20 year relationship. Now, I'm able to maintain a 9 mph pace for one full hour, and I've been able to run a fun 5K here on post. I've been on MFP for 20 days now and I've lost 4 lbs. since my first login. I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you. Best of luck, and I expect to hear great things from you!
  • I have been to London many times and I adore it! I am looking to shape up for my 40th bday, add me to your list!!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks so much everyone. I look forward to motivating and being motivated by you all. I think it's important to have a good support group. Plus I love hearing how other people are doing and tips other people can offer etc
