    Hi, I'm here!

    21 year old student, working as a cashier at a supermarket, unfortunately. I had been on MyPlate for 3 and a half years, and they recently changed their interface, so I've switched to MFP and I am liking it quite a bit. I lost about 13kg in 2012 use MyPlate, but have since gained it back and am looking to loose 15-20kg, or at least just be happier with my body.

    Feel free to add me, I'm still new to this website!

    Back with a vengeance!! Located in Melbourne, initially 36kg to lose but then a big reassess because I'll still be 13kg above 'healthy'. Right now the goal is just to be able to buy clothes in normal stores rather than plus size!

    On here daily, diary is currently private while I sort myself out, then it will be open again. I'm chatty, so add me if you wish :)

    Still here too, not logging at the moment though as my trainer has me on an eating plan.

    TehGTrain, I'm sending you an add. You and I have very similar goals and nutritional approach.

    I am on the east coast of Australia. I am currently studying for my Bachelor of Health Science Food and Nutrition degree.... why? Because I am so deeply interested in all things mind/body health, but particularly nutrition. I go to my daughter's school and see all the sad, angry looking overweight mums living through their children. I go to the beach to train and estimate the average clothing size there to be about a 16 or 18. Something has got to change, and I want to be part of that change. Most people don't even know where to begin. This is one of my greatest passions in life.

    I personally have a higher standard or threshold, if you will, and although at times I have dropped the ball and gained a few kg, I'm not settling for mediocre, larger clothing sizes and disease.

    I have my own set of nutritional beliefs and principles that I have developed through my self education, and although my training in regards to resistance is somewhat lacking, I am determined to right this and break my 'cardio girl' mould once and for all.

    I am pro Paleo/Primal/Keto, but I have a level head. I know that the all or nothing approach fails for most, so at the moment I am carb cycling. Please add me if you are a regular user who interacts with your friends list and don't overload yourself socially, as I have a tendency to delete people who never interact with me. I am in the forums to socialise, help and be helped and be friendly and supportive. This is who I am looking for as MFP friends ...the whole point of adding friends in the first place, hey. :-D

    Have a fantastic day, give it your all, and be happy. :-)

    Brisbane (northside). Joined September 2013. 5 kg down about 10 to go. Not huge difference on the scales but size and shape changed noticeably.
    This year is a big year for physical challenges and I will use the training for this to decrease the weight and increase the fitness.
    41 and even though I have a way to go, I am the fittest I have been in over ten years.
    I am able to spend more time paddling, surfing and cycling - as well as keeping up with my boys.

    Hi everyone, my first experience with MFP and I've been logging for nearly 2 weeks. I thought I knew what the good and bad foods were, turns out not so much (oops)

    A quick intro: I have been feeling pretty depressed about my weight and how it's been creeping up over the last couple of years. I'm 32 and 6ft so I'm used to standing out but I'm hoping this year I can stand out a little less. I've been married nearly a year now and still loving being married, it's the best thing! My husband and I bought Fitbits for Christmas so we would be ready to take 2014 by storm. My goal is to lose 15kg. I want to be happier, healthier and more active so I want the entire lifestyle change.

    It's going to be incredibly incredibly hard as I really really love my food (enough emphasis? lol) and I find it hard to exercise both with time and motivation. But I'm in it and here I am :) I welcome any recommendations on how to make those kilojoules stretch further and how to increase motivation levels to get off my butt every day!

    Best of luck to everyone for 2014

    Hi! I'm in Adelaide, and I'm 3kg from my goal weight. Hoping to hit it before the Fringe Festival is over (mid March).

    I don't always log my exercise, but I also don't always log my vodka libations. I try to be as accountable as I can but have some to work on.

    I've been an avid runner for years, even when I was at my heaviest. Last year I ran 3 full marathons and 6 half marathons, and I'm gearing up for an even bigger 2014 in terms of personal bests. I want to run a sub 1hour 40min half marathon and a sub 4 hour full marathon. I typically run 65-70km per week. I don't do any resistance or weight training at the moment so my 2014 resolution is to work on that!

    I stopped logging and updating here but I love to read the posts and stories.

    I only have 5kg to go to my GW of 58kg.

    I am a fitbitter and I make sure I walk a lot. I just got back into surfing so I get enough exercise anyways.

    I live in South East Melb by the Bay.

    I'm back again after losing 6kg in 2012. I've had a difficult third pregnancy and now have a weak back, weak abdominals and a neck hump :(
    I'm 37, south of Sydney. I really want to regain my fitness and lose weight, I'm currently 173cm and 90kg.

    I'm still here... as I have been for the last 600 something days straight :)

    I've lost a bit of weight but have hovered for a while. First goal for the year is to do a century ride for the Tour Down Under in three weeks from now (156kms).

    Then it will be ongoing cycling and weight training - with a focus on getting down to 12%bf for the first time in my life.

    I'd like to compete in my first triathalon by the end of this year too... and maybe the tough mudder... looks like it could be a busy year for me! :bigsmile:

    Hi, I'm back after a long hiatus. I have changed my username and am ready to start afresh. I am a bit scared to step on the scales at the moment so will probably do measurements instead. I have about 25kg to lose. My goal is to eat clean and move more.

    Aiming to lose approx 15 kg throughout 2014. Currently hovering around 95 kgs, would like to get to 80 and then reevaluate.

    All the best in 2014, guys!
