    Hi,

    I am Alan and live just outside Edinburgh. I am a quantity surveyor working in the Scottish Borders.
    I am almost at my goal weight, I was just over 13 stone on the first of January 2011 and am sitting at 11 stone 3 pounds just now. I ideally would like to get to around 10 stone 10 pounds (am only 5ft 6" tall!).

    Feel free to add me.

    Cheers, Al

    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!

    Hi!
    I'm Lindsay, 49, and hoping to reach goal (130lb) by Christmas (if only briefly!) Weight seems to be fluctuating at the moment though, so it's looking like a long shot!
    I'm a freelance journalist, married, with two daughters and two dogs.

    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...

    :-)

    Hello fellow Brits!

    I'm Molly, I'm 18 and I live in Wiltshire. You're all welcome to add me :smile:

    I joined MFP in August and I've lost just over a stone (15lbs to be exact. It was 16 until this afternoon my scales decided they didn't like me and told me I'd gained 1lb!) and my first goal is to get to 11 stone, which is now just 6lbs away. After that, I'd like to lose another half a stone and go on from there, but my main aim is to be happy and healthy.

    Hi

    I'm Ant and I'm 35 and live in London. I eat (or ate) way too much of the wrong stuff :(
    Joined MFP in August but only managed to login for about 2 or 3 weeks. Had a naughty weekend away, for a mate's wedding and stopped logging. I came back here 2 weeks ago and have lost just over a stone since! Hope to keep it going, as I have a lot to lose...

    Cheers

    I'm Russ. I live just outside Cambridge.

    I started here in May fat and unhappy about it, but I've since lost all the weight I originally wanted to, and more (now 46lbs). Recently took up a C25K challenge too (I'm nearly finished week 6) and will be looking for fellow runners to join me on my first 5K soon.

    Do befriend me, I'm seriously lacking in friends in the same timezone!!

    Hello

    I'm Nic, 26 and live in Gateshead.

    Currently a bit tipsy off Weight Watchers wine (which is pretty lame)

    I use MFP to track what I eat as I can easily feast on too much chocolate!

    Hi All,

    Hia

    I'm Ellen and I live in Preston, I'm 45. I'm a mum to a gorgeous 8 year old girl and currently working in a call centre.

    I've been doing this since putting on half a stone over the summer (it was a drop in the ocean but enough to kick start some changes!)

    Lost a little weight so far, still loads to go. I just joined a gym and am loving getting back into exercise.

    Hi there!
    I'm Claire, I'm a radiographer living in Glasgow, but originally from The Wirral. I've been a weightwatchers disciple for many years, but am finding it increasingly difficult to stick to it. Joined MFP to give myself a kick up the b*m!
    originally 2 stone with ww, but have gradually put 1 back on (despite going to classes!!) I've got a fair bit still to go. Hoping MFP will get me to my goal of 10s (currently 12s 11)
    I'm weighing in at WW meetings on wednesdays currently as I still need the 'embarrasment factor ' of weekly public weigh ins and counting calories thru the week on MFP.
    I've lost 2lb over the past couple of weeks, and weigh in tomorrow.
