    Hiya everyone,
    Physically I'm 45 yikes! but mentally I'm somewhere back in my 20's.
    I work as a psychiatric nurse & love my job but the shifts play havoc with my body clock & I have been known to use that as an excuse not to exercise & to eat rubbish...but I'm trying to make amends & be good.
    I've been a yo yo dieter most of my adult life
    I love music & laughing & meeting lovely people
    feel free to add me as long as you're not a serial killer...I deal with enough of those at work lol
    ;)

    Hiya all, I'm Gillian currently living in Victoria, Canada but originally from Liverpool. Will be moving back to the UK next year after an absence of nearly 40 years when I emigrated with my parents, I've been trying to get home ever since! Been putting on the weight over the past few years, lost it then regained. I've lost 9 pounds so far with MFP, the calorie counting works like nothing else can!

    I'm Rach (23) and I have only been on MFP a week; but had a great boost when I lost 8lbs in my first week. I have set a starting goal of losing 42lbs and then will see how I feel.

    I am enjoying being on it and enjoy that exercise means more food. Any support anyone can give is appreciated, everyone on here seems so nice :)

    Hi, I'm Steve. I'm in my early 40's and live in Essex. I joined this week primarily to use the data analysis tools. But, I love so many of the positive messages I've seen on this site I feel the need to join in too! There's a great feel-good factor going on here.

    I've a couple of stone to lose to get back in shape and stay fit and healthy. I've started running and manage 30 mins comfortably, so looking to up the ante now. All advice greatly received!

    In just a few days my analysis of my diet is pointing out some major changes I need to make to the type of food I eat. Although obvious in hindsight, it does help when the numbers are in front of you; it's really helping me focus.

    Please feel free to add me. I enjoy swapping experiences, hopes, worries, tips and laughs that enrich us.

    Hi, I am Fi from the Bristol area, nearly 46 and have gained a couple of stone in the last few years which need to be gone for good. I have been hovvering aroung the edges of MFP for a few weeks now, carefully adding my food and exercise but not losing any of the 17kg I want to yet... more effort needed I think!

    Feel free to add me, I need all the support I can get, and am happy to provide it too :-)

    Hi All,
    I live in the US but was born in Sussex and visit frequently. I just got back from a trip there last week and I ate waaay too much yummy British food. I had all my favorites, like cream tea and 99 flakes and hula hoops. Haha, oh man, that visit set me back a bit with my dieting...
