Hello everyone, I'm Shanaz, I'm from London, I am 26 years old and a mother of 2. I joined Myfitnesspal in May this year to try lose around 7-8lbs and I did it very easily once I started watching the calories. I am currently on the last circuit of Chalean Extreme and getting great results off it, loving that I can eat a whole lot more food and not gain weight.

So hi!

I'm Matthew and am 24 and reside in the lovely Brighton, currently unemployed and in a band living every 24 year olds dream! Well except for the fact my stomach could hold an entirely family of kittens

Going to make these 99lbs disappear like they're nobody's business, just like we all will, right?

Hi names Jim, I'm 28 from ayrshire and currently trying to lose even more weight, Have lost about 44lbs so far and still got another 20lbs to go. I'm a martial artist and train as often as I can.

Hi. I'm Carolyn from Hertfordshire. I have another 50 or so pounds to go but I'm quite fit (probably from carrying those 50 or so extra pounds!) I've only lost 11lb so far. It comes off in fits and starts but I am fairly active so I'm not in too much hurry, as long as it comes off eventually. I have two kids but I'm not working at the moment. I enjoy exercise and do karate twice a week. I'm going to be starting my Martial Arts Instructor UK (level 2) training this weekend and I'm really excited about it :bigsmile:

Hi, Just found this group and what a great idea, at least here we can all talk in stones and people will understand us, and can refer to products without having to work out the equivalent american name i.e. chips = fries etc.

I'm Cath - i'm 41 and now live in Somerset. I was born and grew up in Cornwall, but moved to Somerset 10 years ago with my now wife - we had our civil partnership ceremony 4 1/2 years ago.

i've always been overweight, even as a child, lots of bullying at school didn't help. I also have depression and find when I hit a low, I either stop eating, or over eat. Over the years I've tried Weight Watchers and Slimming World as well as the more unhealthy ways of losing weight such as making myself sick etc......and while WW and SW worked, I could never keep them up long term.

Around my 40th birthday, I decided that was it.....I seriously needed to lose weight.......and I started counting calories, doing it myself. That was June 2010, and at that point I weighed in at my heaviest ever of 319 lbs - or 22 stone 11 lbs. In January I found this site, but then just carried on myself, until my partner got an iphone and came across the app for this site.....and then I started using it seriously to record what I eat, drink, exercise etc.

I'm now weighing in at around 224 lbs or 16 stone - so a loss of 95 lbs or 6 stone 11 lbs over the last year and a bit.

Still got a way to go.....but I'm so pleased to get into Large size clothes instead of XXXL ;-)

Hoping to try for a baby beginning of next year, so want to get rid of as much more as I can before Christmas.

Feel free to add me as a friend.

Cath

Hi , I'm Alli from Jersey, Channel Islands. Originally from Birmingham, then Leicester and we got moved out here 8 years ago. Got 2 boys aged 15 and 12 and can no longer blame the weight on the babies!! Finally found a way to enjoy exercise - group exercise and a personal trainer once a week to keep me on track. Logging my calories on here really helps and has been a real eye opener. Started the C25k and on track so far!
