Hey guys,

My name is Nick, i currently live on Bournemouth and used to live in Cheshire (Ellesmere Port to be precise).

I've been a member of the site for almost a month now and i'm loving it, i have a number of friends on MFP already however i'm looking for people from the UK to add to my friends list. I currently have an epic amount of weight to lose, 113lbs to be exact, and i have so far lost 24lbs - 6 of which have been whilst a member of MFP and doing the good 'ole calorie counting.

I started at 24st 7lbs and want to get to 15st - 15st seems a little bit heavy still, however i'm (somewhere under the fat) quite muscly and have a large frame naturally - plus i'm 6ft 2, so i think that weight will be perfect for me.

Anyway, no more waffling from me (no food pun intended ;0) - feel free to add me!

Regards,
Nick.

    Feel free to add me as a friend anyone who needs more friends :) I don't have a lot to lose, aiming for 5kg and nearly half way there (but may increase that by another couple of kilos once I reach that goal). My challenge will be to keep it off once I reach my goal so plan on using MFP to keep track of calories and exercise in a hope to keep the weight off.

    Hi Nick

    I am from Christchurch, Dorset and also originate from the Wirral. I managed to lose 56 lbs last year, but have been struggling with the last 7 lbs I seem to get 0.5 lb off and then get stuck for a few weeks.

    Nick, if you truely want to hit your targets you will, it's a long hard journey but anything is possible. I used to get out of breath walking up the stairs, now I run - I run miles!!

    I started at 128kgs, close to 19st I think - I've dug deep, kept the training up - hard sessions, always pushing as I am under the impression that if it's easy it's not doing anything for you;) I think I've lost around 40kgs - which is like a bag and a half of cement!!! Life is easier, much easier... I yesterday tried walking a mile on the treadmill holding two 20kg dumbells - holy**** was it hard going, and squats weren't too hot either!

    Add me! I'm welsh - and if all else fails try Wales :) ha

    It's all about eating clean and keeping active

    I joined recently as well. Wouldn't mind some friends in the UK. :) Please add me. I'm unsure about just adding people willy nilly, as I feel rude without asking :)

    Hi Nick,

    I'm new too so would welcome making a few more friends. I think it's a real help reading what other people are doing and the things they are overcoming - we're all in it together.
