    Alright Guys,

    I'm Danny, originally came on here as a way of tracking calories, it gives you so much more than that though!

    The aim is to lose weight but most important to me is getting my fitness levels up to a good standard.

    Hi
    I'm Chaz, I'm 25 with a beautiful daughter & wonderful hubby. I run a weddings & events business so my biggest problem was grabbing bad fattening food on the go & eating take aways very late at night most of the year. I joined MFP a month ago & feel like my whole approach to food & exercise has been transformed :)

    Hello everyone, I'm Jade, 21 years old, currently living in Bath, although a born and bred Londoner. I'm a distance learning fashion student as well as having a full time job with the council.

    I'm currently at 166lbs, started logging at the beginning of October when I was 175lbs although I think I was at my heaviest in the summer at around 180lbs. My goal is to lose a total of about 3 stone, my ultimate goal weight is around 135lbs.

    I'm Symone and from West London. I'm 25, trained chef and final year student at uni.

    I joined her in April but have been active since late July where this is the time I've lost all the weight below. This site is exactly what I needed, I've come across such inspiring people and hopefully I've inspired some with some of my posts and challenges.

    I'm looking to be under 11stones with a BMI of about 22.5 by my birthday in July 2012 which means I still need to lose about 4st 4lbs but I know I'll get there. I'm actually starting to like exercise and counting calories.

    Hi, I'm Nikki, currently living in Scotland but hoping to move back to England next year. I'm almost at my goal weight so am hoping to be maintaining after Christmas. (although realistically I'll be needing to lose my Christmas weight first!!)

    Hey. I'm Jay, 30 from Manchester.

    Lost 32lbs to goal weight. Been maintaining (kinda) for about 3 months. Gained about 5 or so lbs of muscle and stripped off some fat to keep within the same weight range.

    In phase 3 of P90x with a goal completion date of 2nd December.

    Current focus is to get my six pack by Xmas! Longer term goal is simply to get in the bet shape of my life by my wedding in late April.

    Big welcome to all!
    We're already the third largest group and hopefully we will just continue to grow. It'd be great if we could have a large network of us Brits!

    Hey everyone,

    I'm Laura. I'm 30 and live in London. Originally from Scotland. Been actively working at losing weight since the end of May, and lost a few pounds between February and May. In February at the doctor's I was pushing 17 stone. And this week I am 12 stone 6.

    For the longest time I couldn't remember what happened in May to make me decide to lose weight. Finally remembered a few weeks ago. A friend lost weight through a groupon hypnosis deal. Another friend and I talked about doing it, and I thought "before I spend my money on something, lets see if I can just use some willpower".

    Apparently that works, who'd have thunk it...

    :-)
