Team UK - seeking a revival!

I'm Molly, I'm 18 and I live in the South West of England. I'm hoping to lose 22lbs and I've lost 8lbs so far. 13 to go! I'm currently a student and I'm hoping to go to uni next year to study children's nursing.

live in Sunny Devon

Me to!! which part are you - im in plymouth. not a bad day today considering it was so foggy this morning!! lol.

Paignton (barf)

I lived in Plymouth last year (well sept-july) while I finished uni. North Hill... but tried to spend as much time as possible over in Cremyll @ Mount Edgcumbe (i love it there!)

mount edgcumbe is lovely - i used to walk around it when i was on mat leave - which was the "summer" lol.

Feeling really defeated

A few months back I went for a hospital appointment, and they weighed me, and I was pretty sure they said I was 185llbs.
About a month later I joined MFP and just entered that weight, stupid I know, I should have weighed myself again!
Been here for about 3 weeks now and weighed myself today, and apparently I am 190llbs

I find it impossible to believe that I have put on 5llbs, because I have been eating extremely well.

So either I heard wrong at the hospital, and they didn't say 185, they might have said 195.
Or, between the time from the hospital and when I joined here, I put on weight, but I am not too sure how much
The scales I have been using have been different every time.
Or the last option, and the worst, maybe I have put on 5llbs

dont feel to bad - just re enter that as your starting weight and go from there! as long as you have been eating healthy and you're feeling better in yourself then thats what it is all about. chin up!!

It's great to see the revival of Team UK - I really missed it and the thread went really quiet - but wow, 9 pages in about 36 hours is pretty good going!!

I'm Fran, 31 and live in Manchester on my own, but have a busy job and have plenty of activities which keep me out of mischief

Look forward to getting to know more people from UK on here through this thread :-)

HI there im a 42 year old mum of 2 i started on mfp in may but started losing weight in 2008,ive lost 56 lbs in total and would like to lose a little bit more ive had health issues over the last few years so would like to join to help me stay on track.

Hi I'm Tink I am 45 and live in Somerset. I was born in Knutsford and then grew up in Berkshire with my 2 sisters and 3 brothers. I'm sort of in the middle, but was the oldest at home when the older ones left. I got married at 16 (i know i know, it seemed like a really good idea at the time) and divorced at 31, we had a good run, and 3 wonderful children a boy now 27 and 2 girls now 24 and 23 I also have the most wonderful angel of a Granddaughter Tilly, who is the light of my life! She is one! My youngest daughter got married 2 years a go and Tilly belongs to her and Mark her lovely hubby. I have a wonderful Great Dane Blue who is also one, she is the fourth one I have had. She is mad! She has knocked herself out twice running into walls, and hung herself a few months ago, so she is keeping me on my toes. I am a restless sort and trained to be a youth worker, ended up working in specialist adult issues, and now have gne back to uni (again) to finish a degree in health, I also qualified as a fitness and gym trainer and a sports nutritionist. I was a pro bodybuilder in my early 30's and had to stop due to ill health (long story) but I am ok now and sheding the last stone my illness left me with and I am back bodybuilding YAY!!! Very pleased to meet you all!

had a yummy pasta dish for dinner tonight

watching The Great British Bake Off is making me want cake though

Wowsers, this thread is crazy fast, I can't keep up!!

I'm Georgette, 33, mum of 3 beautiful kids aged 5, 3 next month and 7 months. I joined after the not-quite-3 year old was born and shifted some weight, then rejoined a month after DD was born and have successfully shed the 2 stone I gained when duffed with her, and another stone on top that has sort of hung around since errrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmm reaching adulthood?? I live in Surrey.

Oh and I don't watch the great british bake-off or come dine with me!! My guilty pleasure is the x factor. I just can't seem to help myself.

Hi there everyone. I'm Sam, recently had my 40th but still in denial! I am a mum of 2 girls aged 13 and 9, and have just celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary with my gorgeous hubby. Originally from sunny(?) Stoke but I've lived in Leeds now for 22 years. My current weight is 149lbs and I would love to be down to around 126lbs. I've been on MFP for a couple of weeks but haven't lost anything really yet, despite exercising loads more than I ever have in my life.

Don't know about the rest of you but I am loving my new favourite phrase 'way to go', and when I write it, in my head it's with an American accent.

Look forward to getting to know you all , Sam

I lovvvvveeeee come dine with me, the narrator is so funny

I just got weighed and lost 1lb, that will do me, 137lb now.

Well done!! I'm weighing in on a friday just now so trying to resist hopping on the scales until then!

Thanks for putting this link on my thread Is nice to see that there are actually quite a lot of people from the UK!!!! Looking forward to all that motivation!!!!

hi, i'm Nikki, 36, married with a daughter of 11 who is my absolute reason for getting up on a morning ;0)
i live in Sunderland and while i dont have much left to lose i am desperate to tone up and see a difference in my body.
i walk daily and gym 3-4 times a week, recently changed to just doing weights as i get my cardio in the 25 min walk to the gym!
im a pharmacy dispenser and i try my best with regards to diet but i dont beat myself up if the odd packet of crisps or bar of galaxy sneaks in (we're all human and need naughty things at times ;0))

Well I am off on a road trip today, I need to get to Hull, my daughter is having a medical procedure up there tomorrow and needs her mummy! So the most exercise I will get is walking from my car to the service station!!
