Hi all!!!

I'm 30, live in the uk and have at least 60lbs to lose! I've been lurking around this site for a while but yesterday started properly!

I'm a vegetarian, and a bit of a carbaholic!!!

Anybody out there who'd be my buddy? The more the merrier!! You guys are inspirational! :0)

Speak to you all soon at some point I hope

    Hi there - I'm in the East too :smile:

    I'm not vegetarian, but I am DEFINITELY a carboholic. It's not doing me any favours at the moment either so I'm trying to switch to whole grain versions :wink:

    Hello there!

    I'm 21, live in the UK and (did) have at least 60 lbs to lose, although I'm half way through that now. :)

    Feel free to send me a friend request and we can grace each others' timelines. Also let me know if you're the kind of person who wants 'always friendly encouragement' or 'tough love'.

    Good luck with your weight loss and remember: it's a learning curve, so things may not be perfect from the word go!

    Hi and welcome - I'm sure you'll soon wonder what you ever did without MFP! Happy to share your journey with you and look forward to seeing your progress.

    Also let me know if you're the kind of person who wants 'always friendly encouragement' or 'tough love'.

    This is a good question: Sometimes the 'friendly encouragement' can just encourage me to be naughty and fall off the rails when a bit of a slap and being told to sort myself out might have kept me on the right track.

    On the other hand it's so hard to give 'tough love' about weightloss without being offensive and, well, us Brits are renowned for being politically correct and reserved!

    Such a great question, Helenium!

    Hello!

    I'm from Norwich, but now live in Windsor. Currently on Day 7 of counting calories with MFP. Lost 3lbs so far!

    I've got 30lbs+ to lose initially, & then we'll see.

    Good luck! Feel free to add me :)

    I just joined a few days ago and would love to give and receive support. It would be great to have some friends from the UK. I live in the States Utah. I spent two years in England and Wales and want to come back so bad. I really miss the food so maybe it is a good thing I'm in Utah. Not sure how the friend thing works, add me if you would like and I'll try to do the same. Good luck everyone!

    Hi Im from Yorkshire! Feel free to add me as a friend. I like a mixture of friendly encouragement coupled with tough love when its needed (which is alot!). We're all in this for the same goal and I don't think you can have too many friends :flowerforyou:
