    Hello fellow Brits!

    I'm Molly, I'm 18 and I live in Wiltshire. You're all welcome to add me :smile:

    I joined MFP in August and I've lost just over a stone (15lbs to be exact. It was 16 until this afternoon my scales decided they didn't like me and told me I'd gained 1lb!) and my first goal is to get to 11 stone, which is now just 6lbs away. After that, I'd like to lose another half a stone and go on from there, but my main aim is to be happy and healthy.

    Hi

    I'm Ant and I'm 35 and live in London. I eat (or ate) way too much of the wrong stuff :(
    Joined MFP in August but only managed to login for about 2 or 3 weeks. Had a naughty weekend away, for a mate's wedding and stopped logging. I came back here 2 weeks ago and have lost just over a stone since! Hope to keep it going, as I have a lot to lose...

    Cheers

    I'm Russ. I live just outside Cambridge.

    I started here in May fat and unhappy about it, but I've since lost all the weight I originally wanted to, and more (now 46lbs). Recently took up a C25K challenge too (I'm nearly finished week 6) and will be looking for fellow runners to join me on my first 5K soon.

    Do befriend me, I'm seriously lacking in friends in the same timezone!!

    Hello

    I'm Nic, 26 and live in Gateshead.

    Currently a bit tipsy off Weight Watchers wine (which is pretty lame)

    I use MFP to track what I eat as I can easily feast on too much chocolate!

    Hi All,
    I'm Jules, I live in Bedfordshire, and I'm 29 (30 at Christmas, eek!). I've just started a renewed health kick to lose weight and sort my lifestyle out before starting a family next year (fingers crossed). Joined the gym, getting in to going to classes etc, and logging all my food one here :D

    Hia

    I'm Ellen and I live in Preston, I'm 45. I'm a mum to a gorgeous 8 year old girl and currently working in a call centre.

    I've been doing this since putting on half a stone over the summer (it was a drop in the ocean but enough to kick start some changes!)

    Lost a little weight so far, still loads to go. I just joined a gym and am loving getting back into exercise.

    Hi there!
    I'm Claire, I'm a radiographer living in Glasgow, but originally from The Wirral. I've been a weightwatchers disciple for many years, but am finding it increasingly difficult to stick to it. Joined MFP to give myself a kick up the b*m!
    originally 2 stone with ww, but have gradually put 1 back on (despite going to classes!!) I've got a fair bit still to go. Hoping MFP will get me to my goal of 10s (currently 12s 11)
    I'm weighing in at WW meetings on wednesdays currently as I still need the 'embarrasment factor ' of weekly public weigh ins and counting calories thru the week on MFP.
    I've lost 2lb over the past couple of weeks, and weigh in tomorrow.

    Hey! I'm Karen from Leicester, I'm currently in my final year at university studying Political Sociology. I've been using this site for 180 days straight! Though I made this account on it last year using my iPod but never properly used it! Guess I didn't find true motivation until last May.

    Hi, I'm from Scotland but live in Dubai at the moment.

    I've lost 2 stone 8lbs over the last year and a half not trying very hard, that is until I joined MFP in Aug (where I've lost 17lbs so far!). I'm doing it slowly and carefully and working out like never before. Miss the fresh Scottish weather for long walks but prefer the Dubai winters to the winters in the Highlands that's for sure!

    I have a good bit more to lose but very happy with my new healthy lifestyle and never want to go back to my old bad ways!! :)

    Morning all! My name's Hannah and I'm a teacher (of sorts) from Cumbria.

    I've lost almost 2 stone since January and am on the final stint now, hoping to reach my goal in January or February. The health/fitness/everything has speeded up a lot since I joined the gym in August. Now I'm there most days. If you'd asked me a year ago I'd have never been able to say I actually enjoy exercise. But now? I love it!

    Hope everyone's having a good week x

    Hi I'm Sam. I have 2 children under 5 and work 4 days a week. I don't seem to have the time to do any exercise and although I lost q fair bit from when I was pregnant that weight is creeping back on. I want to be fitter and weigh about a stone less.

    Hello

    I'm Nic, 26 and live in Gateshead.

    Currently a bit tipsy off Weight Watchers wine (which is pretty lame)

    I use MFP to track what I eat as I can easily feast on too much chocolate!

    I've got a bottle of that in the fridge...just about to crack it open...not really looking forward to it anymore lol!!

    I'm Laura, 28 from Southampton. I've got family in Cleveland so spend a bit of time there...I miss the north :-((

    Want to lose another 2 stone - here's to weight loss...CHEERS GUYS!!

    Wine isn't too bad for you anyway is it? 500 cals for an entire bottle of vin rouge - certainly more value than drinking beer! How many cals in your WW wine and does it taste any good?
