I use Endomondo and Strava to track my rides. Endomondo because I've used it for years and it covers a huge amount of activities, and also because it links so easily to MFP. Strava because I like to see how my times are compared to others (sad but true)... I run them both on an iphone 4S and never had any issues with them…

Hi there - love the thread - this is just such a positive place for all of the above reasons... Now if I could figure out how to post a picture to this infernal thing, I'd prove how awesome you all are...

Feel free to add me bud!

Hi there... I started here 10 days ago, and 5 pounds later I'm still here! My goal is to lose about 50lbs while getting fit, to tackle some big mountainbike rides later in the year... I'd be happy to keep you company... Patrick.

Hi there fella... I'd be more than happy to join your journey... send me a friend request if you like...

Its so hard getting on the scales the first time, but its done now. Every other time is going to be easier, because it will be routine, and your weight will be going down. Try it and see! Youre in the right place for support now, so show us what you can do. Patrick.

Ever tried sneezing with your eyes open? Sorry... couldn't resist it!

Count me in please... In for a penny in for a pound, as they say... Patrick.

Good work fella!

Good work fella! A very brave and honest post. Best of luck... Patrick.

Hi there. I read your post with interest... I'm new to this site, but can really see the benefit of having some really good motivational support from others in the same boat, as losing weight can be a lonely business sometimes. If you want to be buddies with a slightly eccentric Englishman, just ask! Good luck! Patrick.

Evening all from a sunny Northamptonshire...

Howdy... I'm another newbie from the UK... I'm looking to lose a good 3 stone really, to try to get back into the same size clothes as I was in 5 or 6 years ago before deskjobs took their toll... Feel free to get in touch - this asking for friends thing still seems a little weird to a reserved Englishman! Good luck!…

Feel free to add me... Day 1 on the forums and I intend to stay active here... You'll have to put up with a timelag between UK and US, and a warped English sense of humour (spelt correctly!), but apart from that, I'll be your friend! Toodle-pip, Patrick.

Ha Ha! I'm kinda in the same situation as you in that I'm boring my wife to death with "Look the app can do this..." comments! The danger you have now is that the first three people that responded (not wanting to be sexist here) look pretty damned foxy!! Good luck! Patrick.

Yay!!! Well done... I've just joined the MFP community and have recorded my first weight loss today after less than a week - happy days! As a 42 year old bloke with three kids and working shifts, it's been all too easy to reach for the cookie jar or chocolate vending machines at work. However, being addicted to my iphone…
