Hi, another newbie here... I started using this site as a food diary on Monday and I'm already addicted! I can't believe some of the mistakes I was making about what was and wasn't healthy!
My husband and I recently started trying for a baby but I don't think it will happen until my body is in better shape :( Plus if I do get pregnant I want to be fit and healthy so I can cope better with everything that comes with having a child. I'm looking to loose at least 100lb eventually so I guess I'll be here for the long haul!
I would love to get some friends on here for moral support, especially people from the UK with a large weight loss target, hopefully we can motivate and support each other :)
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Tabby x

    Another UK member on my 2nd week and absolutely loving it.

    The support is great, the members are real friendly, but the best bit is the info you get from the database.

    I`m doing 2000 cals a day, am never hungry, and have even started exercising again, the first time in 20 years!

    Considering I was eating up to 4500 cals a day and I am more than satisfied eating 2000 now, you`ll find it amazing too.

    Best of luck

    Hiya, welcome there are loads of us UK folk here supporting each other. The site has really grown and definetely gets the best results, I recently came back after a 6 month try at the WW Pro Points, well lets say I didn't get the results, cause i need to see those numbers on the scales falling to keep me motivated each week.

    Welcome to MFP! My name is Lisa, and his is my second go at it. MFP is hands down the easiest site to use. It doesn't hurt that it is free. I feel the more friends you make on here the better. You can't go wrong with extra support and accountability. Good luck! :-)
