    Woo! *comments* :P
    I'm Krissy, I have lost 80lbs so far and hope to lose another 59lbs at least, it honestly depends how I am when I get there because I've never been that me all, not even in my teens!
    My next goal is to lose another 4lbs getting myself to 195lbs and having a total of 6 stone lost :)

    I live in England and split my time between my home in Bedfordshire and my mothers in Manchester helping care for her.

    It's my goal to start joining exercise classes as well as gyms in both areas so I have no excuses! I would love to meet people local to either area who would like to accompany me too :)

    Great idea!
    I'm Sofia, 35, mum of a 4-year old, and I live in Greece. My goal is to lose the weight i gained when i stopped smoking, and then some! I have started exercising regularly since July, and dieting only this week. I find myfitnesspal very inspiring, and hope to have as many friends as possible - to keep me motivated and hopefully motivate others, too!

    I'm Amr, 20 yrs old male from Cairo, Egypt. I am not really that heavy but I'm more into the "skinny fat" range. I just wanna be more muscular, toned, strong, flexible and be happy with my body! I am enjoying eating healthy and trying new things!

    I am gonna start collage soon though so I'm trying to find a groove/routine for my meals and workouts. Love to inspire and be inspired!

    My name is Erin, 30(for about another week). I've lost about sixty-five pounds so far. While my goal isn't set in stone I'd like to lose between seventy-five and eighty-five pounds to start. I'm fairly small when it comes to height(4'11")and I was fairly big weight wise when I started, for my height. I was 194 when I started, with a top weight of 195 about a week later. Anyway, you guys can add me if you would like, I need all the help I can get.

    Hi All,

    My name is Maggie, I live in an estate called West Craigs just outside Blantyre/Hamilton in Scotland. I have lost 45 pounds so far. My goal loss is 107 lbs. So nearly half way there :)
    I am newly single, a mum of 2 gorgeous teenage girls and a handsome lil boy who is 8 who are my life and reason for being. I want to be fit and healthy and after what seems like forever of struggling with physical and mental health issues, I have decided that Healthy Body = Healthy mind and there is no time like the present.

    Hopefully I can inspire and be inspired by other MFP members. Together we can achieve anything :) Lets do this!!!

    *waving* hello!!
    I'm faye, mother of one, trying for number two.
    I've got PCOS and weight is an issue, i don't have lots and lots too loose but its about my overall fitness too so I need inspiration and motivation! I like to chat and am on the app daily, more than once.. its my like my Facebook but i don't have Facebook...weird.
    any who, I'm a chatty girl but i also suffer from depression (post natal i think, but she's 2, maybe I'm just depressed? who knows?)
    i have no time for people who want to tell me what to eat and what not to eat, I am aware of that, i am an adult.
    and not stupid.
    or naive.
    I just want like minded people who are equally as geeky, nerdy, weird and eccentric as me.... so go ahead and hit that 'add as friend' button :) *waving* byyyyyyeeeee!

    Hey all, Im Mike

    Ive been here for a while now and have been real successful. However, I broke my ankle and lost most of the summer. Not being able to run really sucked and I sort of lost motivation..I continued to lift but really stopped tracking or even watching my calories close..so naturally I gained.. But things are healed now and Im back at it...Im trying a different approach...putting the long distance aside till next spring and focus in HIIT and short runs..to see if there is any truth to the better fat loss they are supposed to provide.


    At any rate...feel free to add as a friend...especially if your a chatter!!

    Hi I'm Helen mid 40's working mum of 2 from UK.

    I have about 60lb to lose, been gradually putting it on over the last 9 years. Spent my teenage years and 20's around 130lb and never need to worry about my weight, finding it had to stay on track.

    My fitness aim is to be able to run 5k none stop and build up from there.

    Feel free to add me.

    Hi. Friends are slowly diminishing as year goes on.

    I like to run. (when I am not injured) Long story short, I am coming off an injury. My goal last year this time was to run an ENTIRE half marathon. I unfortunately got hip bursitis and sidelined. My goal continues. So far I have done 3 half marathons with a 4th in 2 weeks (walking d/t hip). I am on the mend though and I would like more support.

    A little about me: 39, single mom of one (beautiful) daughter. I start grad school next Monday! (I am a bit intimidated about the time management thing). I also work a full-time job.

    I occasionally forget to log on days I work 12 hour shifts but for the most part I log in every day.

    Please feel free to add me: young, old, fit, fat, somewhere in between, it doesn't matter! : )

    Hello!

    I am Lauren from the UK! I am a mother to two and a full time University Student (Primary school teaching) I am due to be married this coming August and that is my motivation to lose weight!

    I started out at just over 17 stone and want to try get down to 13/12 stone for my wedding? WILL I DO IT? AHH!

    I've always struggled with food as I love it so much and use it to calm ALL my emotions so this is really challenging to me. I've only been doing it a week but lost 4pounds so far and more motivated than I have ever been. I'm mainly trying to change my lifestyle than diet :)

    Anyway, more friends on here will definitely motivate me too!

    If you want to know more feel free to message me/add me/look at my profile! I like to think of myself as a friendly person :)

    Bye for now!
    Lauren x

    Hello!

    Su here, 51 next month, based in Northamptonshire in the UK. Nearly hit my target last year (1lb off!) then gained some back by relaxing / trying to maintain. Back on track and running my second half marathon at the end of this month. Always happy to add mutually supportive friends.

    Hello MFPers. I have tried this twice. Once I lost 85 pounds and then within two years I gained it all back. Starting again, 27 pounds down. I have about 150 pounds to go to my goal. I am 34, married mom, and dealing with PCOS is one of my biggest struggle. I log daily and am very supportive friend!. Good luck to all!!!

    HEY MFP,

    Well, it was a tough summer. I lost 30 pounds last year, but spent this summer putting it all back on (bulk gone bad :D)

    I am going to use the fall and winter to cut the 30 pounds so I can get back to my original weight right in time for spring!

    I am currently 203. Looking for friends to help motivate!

    Let's Do This!

    HI MFP!

    I'm Rayce and I'll be 40 next week.

    I started back in early 2013 and lost some weight. Then I moved from Seattle to Texas and gained it back + some 20 or so pounds! I'm now back lower than I was at my lowest in 2013. :). It's slow going but I am determined to do this. I'm now at 25 pounds lost.

    I follow a strict diet on weekdays and go to the gym without eating back my calories and then on weekends I get to eat back the calories I burned during the week. It keeps me from going crazy from eating just 1400 calories a day 7 days a week and it works for me. It's slow going but it is going.

    I feel this is a life change so I plan to do this forever.

    Hello and Griaß'enk. I´m Patrick, a 43 years old german. I subscribed to MFP a year ago but I wasn't addicted until 2 weeks ago. I already lost some kilos without MFP but I want to speed things up.

    I moved from Berlin to Innsbruck last autumn with my girlfriend. That´s in the alps and I want to make the most out of it. There are some peaks I want to climb, some alpine club huts I want to visit and some deep powder I want to ride. For that I want to improve my Fitness.

    I like to run, hike, bike, ski but I hate strength exercises. I have to work on the latter. That´s why I´m here: To gain support and be supportive.

    Well, english is not my native language, please be lenient.
