    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

    I've been on MFP (properly) since March and have lost 3 1/2 stone, need to shift about another 2 1/2.

    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?

Me and my daughter Jessica (who is also with MFP) go running together regularly. Have done 3 half marathons before but that was 2 to 3 years ago, would love to do another one within next 6 months.
