    Hi there,

    I am Martin, 37 and not long moved down from Stoke to Andover for a new job. I always struggle with my weight, I know it is a head thing, so anything anybody can do to keep my head in the game, and my actions focussed on my goals are greatly appreciated.

    I am looking to lose 6 stone by the end of next year. Definitely doable, just gotta keep motivated and focussed.

    TTFN

    Martin

    Hi Cyndi from London

    Originally I joined MFP thinking I needed to lose weight, only to come to realise that my weight is fine (although I have still managed to lose some) I just need to reduce my BF%, eat more and start slamming weights around. So that is what I am doing :0)

    Hi Im Haylez

    I used to be quite fit and healthy but since doing shift work and then having an accident i have let it slip and my muscles have turned squidgy!

    Im looking to mainly get fit but to loose a bit of wieght also its mainly just toning up so i loose inches really especially from the chest area.

    Im looking to loose around 12lbs. I will not be able to loose anymore due to me building muscle and It is more dense that fat.

    In a week i have gone from 168lb to 164lb so i have already lost 4lb

    Also lost an inch from my waist and 1/2 inch off my hips.

    Im not in any rush i have 6 months to go until my holiday but its working well so far :)

    Feel free to add me im pretty lonely on here

    Thanks Haylez

    Hello, British folks! I am totally a non-Brit (sorry), but one of those crazy Americans who loves all things UK... particularly the old sitcoms. I know, it's nuts - I can't help it! Maybe if I watched less As Time Goes By, I wouldn't need to be here.

    I'm looking to lose about 75 pounds (starting around 250), and the groups are a fun way to get new ideas and friends. I'm 29, female, married (to a woman, if that matters to anyone), studying to pass my Law bar exam in New York, and love cats! :)

    Good luck everyone!!

    Hi, I am from Yorkshire but living in the US right now, missing home and Brit humour, and trying to get in shape. I was doing really well with a walking running combination, but then I started he 'New Rules of Lifting for Women' and I must have just lifted too much much on the squats because suddenly my knees were hurting on every step the next time I ran.
    Just started a new job this week and not able to run so I am a bit down as I am worried I will lose all the progress I was making :(
