Hi

My name is Lucy and I am based in Croydon

I have been on MFP since May and have really valued the support of all my friends on here

I thought it would be great to have a group for all thoes based in our great city so we can share tips or maybe arrange to meet up for a walk or other exercise etc

    Hi

    I work in Croydon and live in Carshalton I joined MFP in June. I don't want to lose weight just trying to maintain and fight off the middle aged spread

    Maybe we should re-name the group Croydon UK :laugh:

    I work in Croydon too... have done for 10yrs although I also work sometimes in Birmingham and about 50% from home.

    I used to live in London, but now live in Colchester.... so that's quite a commute, hence my progression to working from home.

    I've been on MFP since Aug 2011 and I've achieved so much more in the past three months than I ever have on any other diet/exercise plan I've ever followed.

    It's great to have groups now :happy:

    Greenwich here! Since we have a place for all the Londoners to communicate, it would be amazing to organise a real life meet up!

    Hello everyone,

    I'm actually currently based in Bath until next year (when I'll be moving back to London) but I grew up in the borough of Bromley (lived in Biggin Hill, went to school in Orpington) and moved away last year. All my friends and family are still there though and I'm back at least once a month, sometimes more.

    A real life meet up would be a fantastic idea, it would be lovely to be able to go have a drink or something with some like minded people.

    Hi, I live in South Norwood (near Croydon) and work in the city.

    I've been on MFP since the end of Jan.

    Started my weight loss with Rosemary Conley classes at the beginning of the year, but cancelled that membership at the end of March (because of MFP...!), after 20 pounds lost.

    I've lost the rest with only using MFP...
    I exercise at home.... Turbo Fire & ChaLean Extreme.... I might start to throw in some Billy Blanks Bootcamp soon.

    Hi everyone!

    I am from Greenwich and work in the West End. Been on MFP for ages but slowly getting there! :smile:

    I do some cardio at home on the cross trainer plus riding my horse and walking the dog. Main thing for me is to keep on top of what I eat and MFP has been great for that!

    Feel free to add me as a friend. x

    Hi Peeps! Hornchurch in Essex here.

    So pleased to find others who will hopefully speak Tesco, Sainsbury and Waitrose instead of Trader Joe's, PB2 and HCG!

    Only got another 3lbs to get to my goal weight but they ARE the hardest to get rid of....mine are so attached to me they just won't leave home!

    Hello, I'm in Islington and work in Islington which is good as I now fit in an hour's walk to and from work a day....the bad thing? It hasn't helped the lbs drop off......

    I joined MFP in June (I think) but I lost some motivation and put some lbs back on, now working towards my target again

    Hi there
    I walk to and from work for 40 minutes a day, and see no 'weight loss' benfits. However, last week I ran 3 times for 20 minues, and this made a real difference to my weight loss. I think at least - it was the only thing I did differently!

    Hope that helps.

    Hi

    I live in SW London and have been logging everything here for 3 weeks almost. Start of a long road but doing OK so far! I find it's pretty motivational to have targets every day and the iPhone app is awesome.

    Hi, I'm Raquel from Islington and I've been on the up day down day diet for about a week or so and have lost 10lbs. I'm hoping to lose another 60lbs by my 21st birthday in May! Good luck all.

    Hi all!

    I grew up in Harrow but now live near St Albans. I work in the city so even though I live in Herts I still most definitely consider myself a Londoner!

    I've been on MFP since August 2010 and absolutely love it. Have had a couple of weeks off from training but kicked myself back into it today! I've signed up for my first triathlon in June so have to get serious and get back to it!!
