Hey everyone,
I live in New Zealand but I'm open to friends anywhere. I have always struggled with my weight until 2 years ago, I started on this journey to lose a lot of weight and increase my fitness, so my husband and I could start a family. I lost 43kgs however when I finally got my miracle baby I put all the weight back on so I'm starting from scratch.
I adore my son but he is now 5 months old and he needs me to pull my finger out and get healthy so I can be around for years to come for him and my family.
I'm really motivated but I'd love to be on this journey with others who are in the same boat as me or even others who have been through the experience of being morbidly obese (at least that's how the medical profession categorise us) and losing a lot of weight.
Look forward to hearing from you.

HI!!
The calorie counter on here is a great way to start!
Be honest with it and dont sweat the odd cheat meal, as long as it is only the ODD one!
Good Luck x2 -
Love to form community. However I am still trying to figure out how to send friend requests! Clicking on someone's name doesn't seem to do anything except message2

Click on their photo! Then when the Send message box comes up click on their profile pic again!
There should be a Add as Friend box in green on their profile page!
