    Hi all - I'm from Sunderland but live abroad. I joined mfp last year and lost about a stone, then I gave up (as usual) and have joined again this week as I have my wedding dress to fit into, I purposely ordered it smaller so that I would make myself do it!

    Hey.

    I'm from Northumberland (North East - 30 mins from Newcastle!)

    I joined last year and lost 22lbs but then with some crap happening in my life and Christmas and indulging I gained 12lbs back!!!!! (Why did I do this to myself).

    Anyway I'm back on it - New Year, New Me!!!! I starter Jillian Michael's body Revolution programme on Monday and hoping that I will see some good results with that.

    good luck everyone on your journey. x

    Hi peeps,

    Im from Sunderland originally - ive been living in Oxfordshire for the past 8 years but im 6 months pregnant with baby number 1 and moving back to Sunderland next month for at least my maternity leave and then maybe longer. I have been slowly picking away at my weight for years going from my heaviest at 15 stione 2 to my lightest at 12 stone. I was still down at 12 stone 8 mid 2012 but then I got pregnant and I have since gained 24lbs (although granted, some of that is the huge bump and boobs I now have).

    I was using MFP until halfway through my first trimester when I started getting really sick and pretty much could only stomach crisps, chips, bread, ice cream etc - I just did not feel like logging all the crap I was eating so I stopped. Im now just in my third trimester and finally seem to be wanting to eat healthily again. Also a bunch of the girls on babycentre are on here and I have just added them and it has motivated me to start getting back on track now rather than waiting another 3 months. If I can go the rest of my pregnancy without gaining anymore weight I will be really happy as 24lbs is plenty to gain and I was already 30lbs overweight anyway.

    Looking forward to being a yummy mummy in 2013! x

    Hi, I'm from North Yorks and have been on here since 17th May and have lost close to 3 stone (put a couple back on over Christmas but am back to logging now as it sure is a slippery slope! Happy MFP'ing everyone - it's a numbers game now and once you get your head round the science bit it's relatively easy.

    Good to see a lot of positivity here! As ever seeing the road as a long bumpy one and keeping goals realistic will help you succeed. Personally I like to set small short terms goals but its what works for you. Since hitting 13 1/2st now I want to get to 13 stone though in honesty Im not really hung up on weight more body composition. Just ordered some scales that include body fat though I know they are not the most accurate its really about tracking change.

    Thought Id also share this little bit of inspiration as I liked it :

    Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel, go hang one there yourself!

    Hi All,

    Im from Leeds - joined MFP after seeing lots about it on a forum I use so when my wife and i decided that enough was enough and it was time for us both to loose weight thought I'd give it a try.

    Everyone seems pretty friendly - I've got about 8 stone to lose so its going to be a long journey - but it will be so worth it. Everyone feel free to add me.

    Hi fellow Northerners! I've just joined up so I thought I'd introduce myself - I'm from mighty Manchester and the diet starts tomorrow!

    In Hartlepool here. Diet started..well portion control first then will focus more on the food types. Going well so far, lost 20+lbs in a few weeks.

    Hoping I can drop weight, reduce strain on my legs so I can start riding motorbikes.
