in Introduce Yourself
Hello, this is my second day on this site and it seems like a great tool. Are there any other UK folks out there in the same boat as me? I have lost 34lbs before joining here but still have a mere 138 to go!! I, like many, am trying to deal with an eating disorder and become healthy. I am type-2 diabetic and really want this to be controlled by diet.
Any support would be great...I am very supportive too
Let's help each other :D

    I'm also currently in the UK. My goal is to lose 60 pounds. I'd love to be your weight loss buddy! This is only my third day as an active member, and I'm still trying to get my schedule on track. But I am determined to overhaul my lifestyle.

    I'm hoping to lose 80lbs and maybe more, and I'm also dealing with binge eating disorder and using MFP to control my meals! I'd love to be your buddy! :) Though I've only just started again!

    I'm in! Aiming to lose about 50lbs (first phase anyway!). Doing it slowly and determinedly this time - have lost before and put back on but never been as big as this.
    Love this app, and use runkeeper to track my walks - not a runner. Am also trying to cut my sugars/carbs as GP determined that I am soon to be diabetic and I want to avoid that.
    Looking forward to loosing with you all :-)

    Hi Feel free to add me ...I'm from the UK Nottinghamshire, but live in the lovely Spain :)
    So only have an hour time difference.
    MFP is great I've used it for the past 4 years...however this is my third and last time...as I'm going to do it this time!!!
    I've lost 60lbs with MFP in 2010-2011, but manage to gain it all back :(
    I've lost 17lbs over the past 12 weeks, my first goal set is 70lbs which will leave me 70lbs more to lose

    All the best on this journey, I don't have many MFP's but the ones I do have are amazing and fantastic at being positive and support me daily :) having a good group to make constructive and confidence building comments are the key to this app...the more you give the more you get back and you then start to realise your not on your own and you can do it because all your friends on here ARE doing it :)
