    Hello - im from Sheffield too - but born and breed in Scotland.

    I had a 5 pound loss in week 1, week 2 im finding harder - but im tracking every single day - even when i go a few hundred cals over.

    Only drunk 2 tiny (187ml) glasses of rose wine this whole week - which is an amazing reduction for me!

    I need to start excercising, but just dont have the confidence for the gym just yet - think i will once i get to my 1st stone off :)

    Hi Sarah

    This is my first week- I had a terrible night on Friday (all those wasted calories on lager arghh!!) but I reckon it's probably better to be totally honest in the tracker even if we go over!

    I'm lucky enough to have an exercise bike in the house that I can use so I'm planning to use that while I lose the first chunk (only 95lbs to go =/ )
    What exercises are you planning to do? Wondering if it's worth getting an exercise dvd or to just stick with the cycling?

    Good luck!!

    Hi all. I'm in Thame, Oxfordshire but I'm actually American so I'll help you work out those recipe measurements. ;-)

    I'm back here after a brief hiatus (I just needed a break from thinking about calories) - I managed to almost maintain my loss to date but now I'm really ready to start losing again.

    Anyone please feel free to add me if you're looking for friends!

    Hey everyone and thanks for replying I'll get you all added when I log on using my laptop later :)

    Anyone following any kind of specific diet or are you just calorie counting? I'm doing Anna richardsons 5 rules diet just to kick start and cut out the crap its no carbs after 6, no dairy after breakfast, no sugar, wheat or alcohol. Sounds difficult but it works for me as it really makes me think about what I'm eating.

    Also doing Hannah waterman and jillian michaels exercise DVDs and body pump, V core, Zumba and Body Combat the the gym

    Hi, I'm from Lancashire, been using MFP since 4/1/11, also approaching the big 40, so hoping to lose a few pounds and tone up before then, particularly my mummy tummy.
    I'm doing body conditioning and pilates classes at the gym, swimming, and, also using wii fit of the Davina DVD's to mix it up a bit or all else fails trying to go for a brisk lunchtime walk.

    Hi all!

    I'm in north London and I'm 27 years old. Please feel free to add me as I need all the help I can get. I have a 3month old daughter and put on 3stones during pregnancy. I've lost half of it already and I'm using this site to help me lose the rest.

    Looking forward to cheering you all on, especially other baby weight dieters!!

    Hi

    I'm new to this site, I have used a similar one in the past but you had to pay for that. This is a great site & the app for my phone too and free! I'm from Hertfordshire. I'm a typical yoyo dieter. Lost 2 stone last year and put it all back on again now. Lost more the year before that and put it back on again (probably about 5 years history of that!). Currently clasified as obese by BMI, need to loose about 4 stone! It's going to be a long battle but I need to get there.
