    Hi, third time trying to get into using MFP! I'm 31 and up until my mid 20s could eat as much of whatever I wanted with no consequences, and have never really got over not being able to do that any more! Just looking to get a handle on what I eat, mainly to be honest with myself about it, and I'd like to lose 15/20 lb initially too.

    My BMI has me just below obese, but I am well over 6' and have a naturally muscular build (under the padding!) so don't fully trust the BMI figures. I'm currently around 17 st 8, and the NHS BMI calculator says I should be 14 st 10 at most, which would leave me absurdly thin! I'm more aiming at around 16 st 8 and see where I go from there.

    I've started doing the 100 pushups challenge, and am going to try to get into Zombies Run! again.

    I'm hoping that by giving and receiving motivational boosts I can actually get on with it all this time!

    Thanks :). I figured I'd set a "fit before 40" goal and take the time to lose the weight "right" this time. I am aiming to lose about 40 pounds.

    Hi! I'm in my 40s and a mom of two boys. I don't have a specific weight loss goal, I just want to get fitter and to look better in my clothes. :-) Happy to be friends!

    Hey all I'm 29 and have lost 34 lbs since feb. I maintain a caloric deficit while eating what I want and not cutting out my favorite foods. I've learned moderation is the key to success for me. Add me and let's learn from each other.

    I've lost over 30lbs in the past year and trying to lose the last 15-20... of course been addicted to MFP for quite some time and more than half of my friends haven't logged in for a really long time and I would like mutually supportive friends... I love to support those who can provide inspiration as well!!! :smile: :flowerforyou:

    Friends are a great motivator and source of encouragement!

    I'm 44, momma to 7, Gramma to 2. Have been here for awhile,but haven't been active since breaking my ankle and requiring surgery late December. Am now up, mobile, and back to work and ready to do this! Gained 20 while laid up with the ankle and now have a total of about 60to lose. Recently got a fitbit which am finding helpful to keep me moving.

    I try to log every day!

    Feel free to add me!
