    Hi I'm Andrew, 21 from Greater Manchester. Lost approximately 2 and a half stone in 2011. Looking to lose in a perfect world perhaps another 2-3 but 1 would get me just in the ideal bmi range i think. Although have plateaued a while ago and been gaining and losing within a range of 3 pounds ever since. Hopefully I can turn that around and somepoint and continue losing. Key word being hopefully in that last sentence.

    Feel free to add me.

    Hey all!

    I'm Craig, 29 year-old single guy originally from North Lincs area but now living and working in Sheffield.
    I've been on the site for roughly around 2 years now and have so far lost around 10 stone - most of which was in the last year.

    Goals for 2012; to lose the last of the excess weight and podgy bits, to start working to improve my fitness, and having started in the new year - to keep up with posting on the MyFitnessPal blog.

    Feel free to add me :)

    Hi everyone

    I'm James, late 30's, live in Margate. Found MFP about 2 weeks ago and been on the health kick for about 3 weeks. Aiming to lose about 3 stone. Work, although busy, is pretty sedentary, lots of sitting in meetings and driving around Kent. I'm a registered health professional working on strategic change projects.

    Loving the MFP app and logging food and exercise daily. Have used food diaries in the past and know how much they help me to stay on track of what I should be doing. The scan food function on the app is like magic, still makes me smile inside when I use it and up it pops on the screen.

    My partner is also using MFP and we're doing the healthy lifestyle thing together.

    Feel free to add me, will be good to get reinforcement from other people on here too :)

    Hi, I'm Nick from Wolverhampton. 24 years old.

    I started trying to lose weight when I reached 15st 12lb in November. I'm now 14st 4lb and determined to keep going. I only joined MFP just over a week ago, but it's a great tool for tracking calories and finding out tips.

    I've since encouraged a few of my work mates and family to join and they all love the site too!

    Hello, I am 53 my name is Sara and I live in Yorkshire. I have been using MFP since April 2011. So far I have lost 46lb and I have 9lb left to lose, and it is taking forever. :cry: I love the support here and the Message Boards are good.

    I work in Leeds City in I.T for a Solicitors Firm. I am looking for more friends for me to encourage and to encourage me. I love walking in the country which I do most weekends.

    My preferred exercises are Walking, Step and Kettlebells.
    My favourite food is chips and chocolate, but not on the same plate. :noway: :laugh:
    My favourite holiday is walking in the Lake District.
