Hi Angela, I've recently joined (a few days ago) this site and like you, I have struggled with weight even more in the last 2 years an dealing with a back injury that has seriously impaired my ability to ambulate. So welcome back, and we can work it out together...

Hi All, I've just joined this morning.. and started on a 5:2 diet. ( Today being my first day on it :-) Fingers crossed , I'll be able to shed a few pounds with this diet. ANy of you heard or tried this diet before..?

I'm kind of near my goal now but still wanted to drop by and wish all of you the best of luck Keep it up!

Hi, Ive been doing this for about 3 weeks but started my epic weight loss campaign at the begining of June still got a long way to go and yeah looking for some friends to help along the way!!

I have been on here for a while but have returned to seriously track and monitor my progress as I would like to lose the "final five kgs". My daughter is getting married in January and looking good is important to me.

We have a group that started from one person on the Couch to 5k program, now 31 people strong. We are starting with a new challenge today involving calories burned in any intentional exercise and journaling on MFP. You are welcome to join us if you would like. We are primarily based in the Kansas City area but we would certainly welcome someone from across the pond! Our group is Coma to 5k. I'll send you an invite.

You can add me i could use the same thing and have a lil to lose...(a lot) lol

Hi I also started this last week. I would love a "fitness pal" I have about 75lbs to lose. I just recently had surgery (June) and can only do limited exercise at the moment. I also quit smoking to have the surgery. I got a double bam on the inactivity and overeating and gained about 25 lbs since then. I couldnt do anything physically and then wanting to eat to fight off the smoking cravings I am watching calories but I am trying to walk 60 minutes a day. After some more time healing and some weight loss I hope to be able to start running. I will cheer you on and give you some challenges and maybe some competition. I started a group called MIles Challenge. You say how many miles oyu want to complete for the month either,swimming,running,walking,biking, or anything else you could think of. Great way to keep track of where you come from to where you are going. Also a way to trick yourself into making that goal you set for yourself. Remember this groups has all levels so don't get discouraged if you see someone posted 100 miles for the month...they mean biking...lol
Anyone else please feel free to add....the more encouragement I get the better. We all have down days. It's who gets back "on" that makes a difference.

yeah I got like 70 pounds to lose. just had my second baby and the weight wants to just creep up and stay on. In a few weeks, I will head into the last year of my twenties. Time to get healthy and stay that way.

Hi all, I have started 2 months ago and lost 16lb but fell that I'm starting to loose my motivation slowly so thought I find some people to join me and hopefully u guys will keep me going ;-) Please add me and good luck everyone :-)

feel free to add me as well. I've got about 40 left to go.
