Hello my name is Jon.

I am 24 and currently studying Computer Science (Final Year) at Aberystwyth University (Wales, UK). My degree/job don't exactly lend themselves to being active so I thought I would try this out :)

I am new to this and looking to loose weight and would like to become fit enough to run 5k regularly and comfortably. This is a really big challenge for me so it would be great to meet some like minded people to help stay motivated!

If anyone wants to add me as a friend feel free, would be good to get to know people.

Thanks :)

Jon F

    Hello Jon (hope you are not flooded!) ! I'm also new to the forum and I'm making my first proper attempt at losing weight with MFP. I've started a C25K program and am working myself up to head out into the rain to do my third run! I'd like to add you - seems like we are pretty much at the same place! :-)

    Hi Jon,
    I live in Aber (relatively new - don't know anyone bar my housemate :)). How is your mission for a 5km going?
