Hi there, are there lots of Uk members in here?? Just wondered where people live. A lot of the discussion threads seem USA based, or maybe it’s me 😁😁😁😁

    We're in the minority, but there a few of us here. There's a thread somewhere in the 'introduce yourself' section for UK members.

    I'm from Cornwall in the west. Welcome.

    I just joined. I get frustrated with the focus on 1lbs instead of stones and the date irks me being the 'wrong way round' but actually its ok.

    I was using foodfocus.co.uk and did really well on there, I loved the layout but it would appear they no longer exist, a shame.

    "Hi there, are there lots of Uk members in here??"

    Of course there are me old China! ;)
    You could have a Butcher's at the Team UK group but it tends to be pretty quiet so I just tend to frequent the main boards

    I'm just to the SW of London.

    Tea! Preferably Yorkshire...😄
    cup measures seem so open to interpretation, thankfully i found the drop down menu on serving sizes, usually 1g or 100g options 🙂
    I've sent you all friend requests btw 🤗

    Jo - welsh but living in Richmond, London. I've noticed that most are from the US and the reference to pounds instead of KG or stones is driving me a bit mad but Im getting used to it. Anyone doing the Richmond fun run in July - https://thefixevents.com/run-richmond-park-5k-and-10k-race-8 I'm hoping to but I'm down with an illness at the moment - fingers crossed I recover in time as i'm doing it with my young niece who's a runner in training and she's really looking forward to it!

    Well done, I just came back to mfp after a 5 year break and I swear it's harder to find peeps from this side of the pond this time! I'm in SW London/ Surrey.
    Have sent everyone friend requests; it's better having motivation and accountability buddies where you can relate to their food, weights and culture!

    Oh, and tea-only In this household, although mine tends to be green, herbal or matcha :D
