Team UK - seeking a revival!

Im caroline, im 30 and have 2 children - a 21 month old and a 10 week old. My goal is to get fit again and to get back to the size I was before my first pregnancy, I had both my children quite close together so I didnt lose all the weight from my first pregnancy before I got pregnant again.

A lot of my goals are really about fitness rather than weight (although as I get fit I hope obviously to loose more weight as well!) I used to run 10k 5 times a week before I got pregnant and loved being fit, that was almost 3 years ago now though and I want to get back to it.

At the moment I am doing 30 day shred (day 16) and also just started couch to 5k (week one). Once I have finished 30day shred going to move onto another of her DVDs to do along side the couch to 5k. My exercise is limited to when the children are in bed or hubby is off work so I do 3ds while they are having afternoon nap and I go running before hubby goes to work. Eventual plan is to be running a lot more everyday.

Eating wise Im not too bad, I ate soooo much while I was pregnant, i was literally eating all the time! I have lost 33lbs so far and got another 35 to go

Hi, I'm Laura, I've been on MFP for about a year but have only started taking it seriously for the last 3-4 months. I've lost 58lbs so far but i still have roughly 70lbs to go, although this may change when i get closer to my goal weight. I try to work out 4-5 days a week but it will prob get harder during the winter. Would love to be part of team UK for motivation and support.

I'm Wendie, wife/mother/house elf and avoider of full length mirrors!!! I was very poorly for about 7years and piled on about 3 stone through general fatigue & inactivity. Now my health has settled to a manage-able level I am determined to lose the weight I gained and find the old me again. I've never been a dieting kinda of person before as I've been diabetic most of my life so have had a fairly healthy diet but I've managed to lose about 20lbs from Jan-Jun this year by cutting out fatty processed foods, then went on holiday, ate all the wrong foods and sorta gave up! I still have about another 30lb or so to go so a friend pointed me to MFP and after a week Ive lost 3 lb so am feeling back on track again. It'd be great to have a few motivating friends to help me along this journey so am glad to have found you all.

Hi I'm Trish, 36 years old and been on MFP for 10 weeks. I've lost 7kg so far and hope to reach my first goal by December. I have a lot of heft to shift! My ultimate goal is to be healthy (I've had some health complications over the last few years) but am hoping that getting healthy will get me pregnant. 12 years TTC is starting to wear thin :laugh:

I’m Chris, 38 married with a 13 year old daughter. I used MFP to get back into shape over the past few years following quitting smoking.

Now my goals revolve around lowering BF%, gaining some more muscle and racing endurance events. Those different goals are not natural bed fellows, so diet is ever important and MFP helps me keep on track.

In the past week I just really started using the social side of this site for the first time. Went for almost 18 months without ever looking into friends and the support they bring. I’m still finding new parts of MFP that I never knew about after adding some friends this week.

Hi everyone, count me in please.
I'm 48, have 4 children...well they are growing up quick and youngest is 14, also have a 2 year old grandson. The last couple of years I have got that dreaded middle age spread...and ALL of it seems to have gone on my middle . Have been doing this for 3 weeks now and have started swimming every day and going to the gym 2 or 3 times a week. Will be great to have people in the same time zone to talk to. Look forward to getting to know you all, please feel free to add me as a friend, Susan

What does the team do? Is it just add everyone as friends and they say well done everytime someone logs something?

I'm a mom of 4 living in the West Midlands and I work nights as a senior carer in an EMI unit. Gave up smoking years ago and ever since my weight has gone up every year and my poor old bones are objecting so time to make changes permanent now before it's too late. Feel free to add me, I sure could do with some support.I do log in daily and I try my best to get through everyone, my aim hopefully to make a difference, good luck everyone x

Actually, I've just been quoted £468 for my MOT, I probably shouldn't be playing with others...

Oh my god! What is wrong with your car????
