Hi all,
I'm Kate from Hampshire. Been on here a couple of weeks or so. I'm a serial yo-yo dieter wishing, hoping and praying that I'll keep it off for good and no slip back to my wine and chocolate chasers.
If anyone wants new friends, please feel free to add me.

Hello everyone,
I'm Phil and I'm 31 years old and I'm an accountant (don't worry I'm not a boring old fart just yet! :laugh: )
I live and work in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
I love exercising and have regular detoxes from drinking! Played football all my life and up to a fairly decent standard. Plagued with injuries so restricted to what exercise I can do - no road running (unfortunately!).
You'll generally find me in the swimming pool and on the cross trainer mostly! Eat relatively heath already (apart from Xmas!!)
Married to Kim and got a little boy called Oliver who is just over 1!

Hi there,
I'm Lotti, 21 and from the North East. Looking for some support so that I can learn to sustain a healthy lifestyle rather than just yoyo-ing! I'm currently at my highest ever weight and it seems like such a huge challenge but I'm looking forward to the days when I can say that I am fit.0 -

Hey there! Joined MFP in December last year or thereabouts. Really enjoying the extra sense of accountability it gives me. I'm currently 104.3 Kgs which has me at least 10Kgs over suggested weight limits.
Off to the Alps with friends to ride bikes in July. It's time to shed weight to make climbing those Cols easier!
Add me - hopefully we can provide each other with a little extra motivation!

Hi all... I live and work in London.
I always considered myself quite healthy... right up until the point I quit smoking last may and put on about 10Kg in about 5 months. I've been training in the gym 5 times a week since Oct/Nov but hasn't seemed to make any difference, so I guess you really can't out train a poor diet.
Anyway that's why I am here. Need to ensure that I keep track of what I am eating and when I am training...
Would love anyone to add me as a friend for mutual support...0 -
Hi all, I'm Jen...29...mum of 3...engaged and needing to lose about a house in weight.
Will welcome any friends and motivation

Hi, I'm Janine, and nearly 50! I gave up a fast paced job and took a more leisurely one, and boy did the pounds pile on! Never been as heavy as I am now, but definitely aim to shift it. Started MFP about 3 weeks ago, and am sticking to calorie control and am doing more exercise - myself and a couple of friends from work are doing one work-out a week and I take my daughter's dog out for a walk four times a week. I am building myself up to actually exercising daily, but want to lose a bit before I start being too energetic.
I am happy to be part of this group - I want what we all want - less weight, more fun!

Hi everyone
I'm Nicola, live in North East and I'm 25. I'm a size 10-12 and 11st but really want to get down to around 9st 5. I'm 5'7.
I'm on meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch and I eat as healthy as I can for my dinner and snacking. I've started going to the gym 3x per week and I've invested in some dumbbells and a resistance band.

My name is Julia, 34 years old. I was born in and live in America but am a dual national. My parents are British and my whole family lives over there, with the exception of my sister and father. I have Crohn's disease so my weight is a struggle due to the challenges of flares, multiple food allergies, and multiple medications...balancing life in general with a chronic disease. I would like to lose 50 lbs (about 3.5 stone) and I have lost about 7lbs so far. I'm working with a bunch of co-workers on My Fitness Pal (we're all in nursing) so have a big support group.0

Hi I'm Jennie and I live in Cornwall. I have been a member of MFP for 5 days and am really enjoying using it so far. I am hoping after the Easter hols my enthusiasm is still as high as once back at work I have a lot less time to be organised so thought if I get into the swing of it now it will hopefully be easier after the hols. 0

Hello everyone - I live in Lincolnshire and I've just found this group - am thrilled to discover that I'm not the only Brit whose registered on this site. I was feeling a bit lonely ! I've just turned sixty, but still have the energy and drive of someone half my age. I lost almost 30 lbs a couple of years ago, but gained back 15 lbs. I seem to have been on a diet for years, apart from a time in my life when I was without a car, walked everywhere and went to fitness classes 3 times a week. Anyhow, I've decided that this is the last time I'll ever allow myself to gain. Dieting is just tedious. When I lose my 15 lbs I'm going to make sure it stays off.0

Hi! I'm fairly new to all this (but not to dieting, seems I've been doing that most of my adult life!
Need all the motivation I can get, boots up the bot welcome as I seem to be on my usual up and down trip of losing, gaining etc!) Have registered for GNR (my 3rd yr, and I was determined to be at least a stone lighter than last year when I did it!) seeing as it's only about 10 weeks away I desperately need to get motivated! At the mo I weigh 13 st so you can imagine I don't get round the course very quickly - the spirit is willing, but the flesh is a great big b****y hindrance! Hope some of you can encourage me; I promise to do the same for you!!:flowerforyou: 0 -
Hi everyone, I'm here to lose some pounds gained after losing about 28lb calorie counting on paper a couple of years ago - I'm 52 and 4'11'' and it took me a year or so eating a measly 1100 cals a day most days and exercising regularly so determined to lose or at least maintain current weight give or take a pound or two. My exercise burns average only 360 cal or so for an hour on a cross trainer (18-20km, over 50rpm), maybe these tiny/non-existent muscles are to blame, must get into some strength exercise. I walk around an hour most days, also used to do a bit of a frantic cardio workout as I tried to stay in the training zone on my Polar hrm, miight get back into that too.
I only have to look at food to gain, am always tempted to eat too many cakes, biscuits, sweets and chocolate but can't bear the thought of all that old weight creeping back on.
Went veggie about 12 years ago, vegan 3 years ago, if that doesn't put you off anyone feel free to add me as I don't have any friends yet

I live in Kent and I am starting my weight loss journey. I have always been big but because I am 'healthy' it didn't physically bother me. I was however stopped from doing things I wanted to do, wearing things I wanted to wear and being who I wanted to be by my weight. The turning point was our holiday to Orlando, I struggled to do up the belt but just about didn't need an extender. Then after waiting about 30 mins in a line for the hulk I couldn't fit in the seat, I was too wide, I could not go on dragon challenge, rip ride rocket or flume ride either. I was horrified, i was sweating and too hot and too embarrassed about my body to wear shorts. We are going to Florida again in September 2015 and I want to be a different person by then. I will be using mfp, using the wii, the gym and cycling.
Please add me if you would like to make friends and get support.0 -
Hi everyone. I'm Gemma, I'm 27 and live in Blackburn, Lancashire with my fiancé and our 2 jack russells I'm a French and Spanish secondary school teacher. I've always had a problem with my weight and having failed at many diets in the past, I'm getting to the end of my tether with myself! I've recently been diagnosed with an under active thyroid and have started thyroxine so I'm hoping that will make it easier to shift some weight.
Please feel free to add me as I need as much support as I can get!0 -

Hi I'm Tom, I'm 33 and from Birmingham/ Black Country Area. I play Rugby so years of drinking and playing has taken its toll on increasing my weight. I was 16,4 after Christmas and I wasn't happy with my shape or health, at my last weigh in I was 15,5 my goal is 15 stone. Looking for friends to help me maintain my loss and keep it off.0

Hi all, I'm Jess, I'm 22 and I'm from Wales. A few years back I managed to lose over 3 and a half stone (partly through mfp), though I've since gained a bit back whilst I was at uni. I'm back again though to lose a bit and to eat healthier.
Who wants to be my friend?2
