I'm not new, but I'm looking for MFP friends from the UK as the time zones can be a bit awkward (i.e. a lot of my current MFP pals are just finishing their days when I'm waking up...) :D

I'm mainly using MFP to track my workouts, but hoping to lose 5 or so pounds along the way.

If you're a runner or swimmer, I definitely want to hear from you!

Please add me with a little message saying hi :)))

Thanks, guys.

    Hi I am from the UK Norfolk but I am not a runner or swimmer and I should think I am a good deal older than you lol
    I have been on the diet since I got back from my holiday and lost 16 pounds in a month by following a low carb diet.

    i'm from the uk and joined mainly to lose weight, but also to track my exercise. i find it really motivating!
    big on the running, am training for the berlin marathon at the moment (my second, i did paris last year) and am trying to get back in to my swimming - i would love to do a duathlon at some point in the future but don't think i'm quite there with the swimming yet!!
    would be great to be friends with any other likeminded people - have sent you a friend request =]

    Hi

    I will send you a friend request - always glad of extra UK friends (i know what you mean about time zones LOL)

    I am on week 5 of C25K and totally obsessed with running at the moment - not a great swimmer (does weird things to my hair!)

    Hi, I am from Kent and I am getting back into running afetr a bit of a break - last race I did was a half marathon but am struggling to get back to that standard - so maybe you can give me some tips?!

    Hi, I'm in the UK. I understand what you're saying about time zones, I sometimes comment on some of friends progress 5-6hrs after they've posted!

    Feel free to add me if you like, I treadmill run rather than outside - I used to but moved and found running on winding country roads a little bit unsafe where I am.
