    Hi there... I joined a few days ago. Ideally I'd like to lose a pound for every year of my life. :laugh:
    I'm 42 and in Cardiff. A couple of years ago I was 130lb (at 5'6") and endurance running & cycling. Well to cut a long story short I overdid it (mixed with unfortunate genetics) and ended up with a recurring hip problem which required a lot of rest. Then I met my man and we settled down and got faaaar too comfortable... So all of a sudden 18 months later I'm 170lb :noway:

    My 'game plan' is that I've re-joined the gym, started with yoga and pilates, working my way up to going back to spinning & body pump this week... eeek... it's going to hurt! :embarassed: And I walk the dog every morning for about 40 mins... but I do that anyway.

    Any encouraging friends welcome. :flowerforyou:

    Hello,
    I'm 36 & living in Somerset - feel free to add me if you like. I have currently lost about 2 stone, could do with losing at least another 1 or two... started strength training last month so more focussed on inches than pounds at the moment though.


    Edited as I don't know where I live!! (posted Wiltshire originally)

    Welcome fellow Uk peep! :smile:

    I have been on here since August last year and seriously tracking my food and excercise since January. All I can say is, you've come to the right place for motivation and support. Please feel free to add me, make sure your diary is open, this really helps people keep you accountable!

    Good luck on your journey

    PS In the groups search field look for Team UK, there's a few of us over there! :smile:

    On the south coast and been on MFP for 50 days, steady loss so far, some weeks more than others ;o)

    Anyone feel free to add me if they want an encouraging friend! Diary is closed as I am being monitored by the doctor and it is just easier for me at the moment to focus on that.

    All the best everyone!

    Paul best of luck with your 10k.

    I just ordered myself an interval timer and may very cautiously re-start a bit of shuffling.

    I almost wish I came to exercising for the first time, that way you've got nothing to live up to. It's so depressing all the things I can't do anymore... can't run for more than a couple of minutes now, can't do a proper press up any more, really inflexible now... I suspect I'll die a quiet death in spin tonight (first class in a year)...

    I think getting back to 'normal' will be a long hard slog... :sick:
