Hi all, I am from the UK and I have just started to use MFP to track my eating, exercise and weight.

I currently weigh 257lbs and have a body fat percentage of 29.5%. I am hoping to get down my body fat too around 10-15% and reduce my weight to 210lbs to begin with.

hopefully with the support of people here on MFP I will be able to reach my goal. Add me :smile:

    Lots of people from the UK on this site -- it really helps to have people in the same time zone sometimes! Feel free to add me. I think I'm doing ok with losing weight, but got to work on BF%!
