Hi, I'm Karen and I'm from the UK and I've just started MFP again this week (Wednesday) and would love a few buddies to give and recieve encouragement. I don't have much weight to lose to feel comfortable with myself but find that it takes me forever to lose even a couple of lbs. A couple of years ago I did lose about 9lbs using another calorie counting site so I know I can do it but I think I just need lots of encouragement so I don't give in to temptation.

Anyway if anyone would like to buddy up feel free to add me.

Karen x

    You should find everything you need on this site to help you, loads of information, motivation and support. It is a big learning curve at first but once you get into good habits it becomes much easier. Good luck and feel free to add me if you like. I am in the UK too.

    Hi, and welcome. I've been here for 5 days now and I love it! I've never counted calories before but this site makes it so easy.

    I'm in the uk aswell and like you I only have a little to loose, a stone and a half would be nice or even just a stone. Feel free to add me. The more support the better!

    Hi. Im new to this too. Just getting the hang of it. Im in the North East near the coast.
    Would like to lose a stone to start with. I am doing SW but think this site will help as I can log what I eat.

    Feel free to add me and maybe we can all do this together.

    hi Karen, I am new here too! Just like you I don't want to loose too much weight, just a stone or so to feel comfortable again. Counting calories never used to be my thing, but it does help to keep track of what you are eating on a daily basis. Let's help each other to stick to our goals!

    Thanks to everyone who's sent me friend requests, it's much appreciated - I'm looking forward to giving and receiving encouragement and hopefully we will all get to where we want to be without too many slip ups along the way!

    Good luck to everyone on your weightloss journey and here's to onwards and downwards.

    Hi, I'm new(ish) too, been on mfp for 3 weeks and find it extremely helpful and healthy to keep this logged especially the calories because my mind can play tricks on what I have eaten. I'm from the UK too and would love to have some buddies to talk to through this journey! Please feel free to add me!

    Good luck with your weight loss :happy:
