Hi All, I've been on MFP for a couple of years now, for the last year however I have been slipping, gained back half the weight I lost and I can really tell. I have quite a few MFP's but would like a few more in the UK. Having been away for a while I can see from my friend list that quite a large number of my MFP's have been away like me, and some for even longer. However, I refuse to delete them. The aim of the game is support and if they decide to come back then I would like to be there for them as all my MFP's are still there for me.

All my MFP's are fabulous! I don't want to distract from that, but I would like some more UK pals so that time frames are sometimes the same. It's a little easier to compare foods sometimes too.

I'm female, live in South Yorkshire, I'm 5'3" tall, I weigh 184lbs and I'm aiming to get down to between 125-140lbs, last time I was on MFP I got down to 168lbs before my life went tits up, so I know it works. Now I'm trying to get things tits down and under control again.

It would be great to have new pals with which we can mutually share our journey's.

    Hello all. I'm a returning newbie who's only just trying the community aspect of weight loss. I'm from the Northants area, need to lose 170-180lbs, perhaps more depending on how I look when I've lost that amount. Currently 400+ but at 6'8 and 27 years old, it doesn't affect my mobility like such a large weight would an average size person. I can hear the health time bomb ticking though, I've given enough of my life to this.

    I'm also taking the secondary step of also becoming vegetarian, which will be quite a challenge. If anyone would like to add me please feel free.

    I'm after some more friends on here too, from York, studying in Leeds. I'm slowing working my way towards becoming a powerlifter, so I 'cut' and 'bulk' at several points during the year.

    Hi all! Currently live in Oxford, have lost a little less than half my goal (48 of ~112 pounds) with MFP over the last year and a bit, and am a vegetarian - always happy to have new friends!

    (Especially if you're local; there's no such thing as too many exercise buddies!)
