in Introduce Yourself
HI I'm new to the message boards but been a mfp member since last year. I have a fair bit to lose but am hoping to make this the last time I lose weight, want to get to goal and then maintain. I lost 7 stone back in 2007 but due to my dad becoming terminally ill I got caught up in that whole comfort eating mess and gained verything I'd lost and more.

This time I am determind to get the weight off and keep it gone. I'm a mum of 3 teenage boys so they keep me fairly active but I'd like to lose the weight to be able to do more with them. It's not much fun kicking a ball about with them or playing basketball when you get worn out so quickly cos of your weight. :blushing:

    Hi there

    I am a dad of 2 lovely kids and need to lose a fair old bit of weight myself as I want to be able to enjoy them growing up and being a fit dad not a fat dad.

    I have only been on here 5 weeks but have found the support fantastic, my whole outlook is to lose the wight but to enjoy it while I am doing it.

    If you fancy adding an often rambling fool then please feel free.

    I keep the number of mfp friends low as I like to be able to support and keep up with each one.

    Happy for you to add me if you think I can help.

    I live in Wiltshire, and am not too far off my target - just need to push through a bit of (and first) plateau

    MFP is a great tool for weight loss and the support is fantastic

    Hi all,

    i used this site last year or so and lost 3st and my wife has lost 7st! it really works but you have to stick at it! i gave up and slipped into my old ways and put a lot of it back on. when i decided to loose it all again the first thing i did was set this back up!!!

    being a Teessider i get a belly full of smog when i go running but i won't give up like i once did. it is great to see so many UK users - let's stick together and keep each other motivated!

    feel free to add me :)

    Hiya! Pleease feel free to add me!

    I lost 7 stone doing SW over the past couple of years but I have gained about 25 pounds of it back again this year. I could see the slippery slope ahead if I didn't get a grip and have been using MFP for the past couple of weeks and really enjoying it. I am finding this really works for me and I am far more motivated than I was before. I have about another 5 stone to lose so i will be around for a long, long time x
