Back after a couple of months off, managed to lose about 10kg last year (which isn't a lot, I know) and somehow have maintained that without gaining anything back. My boyfriend and I have just booked a trip to Europe for later in the year so I want to look and feel good for that
Happy to accept any friend requests from fellow Aussies

Hi, my name is Veronica,
I live in Melbourne, I have been using my fitness pal for 390 days and have lost 44 kgs. I have 13kgs left to lose and lots of toning. I am pretty unfit as ive lost all my weight without doing much exercise at all so the next step for me is to get fit and toned.
If anyone is in a similar situation feel free to add me 0 -
I am Jo, joined somewhere in April I think. I have lost about 23 kg. Gained a couple when away for 6 weeks visiting my parents overseas and of course Christmas as well. I was 93, I am now about 71-72kg. My main goal is 69kg, and if I can get there, 63kg....
I am 38 years old and live near Bunbury, WA. Lived in New Zealand as well but originally Dutch.0 -
Brisbane here. Mid thirties, 167cms and want to lose about 6-10 kilos.
I prefer the cycle method, meaning two days per week low calories (500-600 cals), 2 cheat days (2500) and the rest at 1500 calorie days. Also knows as 5:2 or IF.
Last year I kicked my chocolate addiction this year I am hoping to reduce the booze, esp Wine!!!!0 -
Brisbane/Ipswich area, 27yrs old, 164cm and currently about 63kg. I hit 58kg last year and was strong, fast and fit. I want to get back to that.
Goals for this year are:
- Half marathon in 2:15 or less
- 2.4km PFT in 11:20 or less
- Be able to do the arm hang!
- Complete a full marathon
- Complete a full Olympic Distance Triathlon
- Be able to do 5-10 chin ups/pull ups without stopping with perfect form
I've been on and off logging for a while now. Just time to be accountable again I suppose. I'm not overly happy with my body at the moment and know the only way to fix it is to do something about it. I do believe in cheat days, and I will never deprive myself of an alcoholic beverage, chocolate or salami (Italian heritage - antipasto is my BIG weakness!) but will do what I can to earn it back and try to moderate this.
Feel free to add me with a message please
Cheers! Mel0 -

Hi fellow Aussies,
I'm Tammy, 36 from Brisbane. I joined mfp in January 2012 and that year I lost 25kg. During 2013 had up and down results which I blamed on a combination of my excessive international work travel and medical issues (bulging discs in spine and neck) but in reality just wasn't disciplined enough. upshot though is that I managed to keep the 25kg off and not out it back on. I have another 30kg to lose and am back on mfp, my immediate goal is to lose 10kg by May, when I'm going on a month long holiday to Europe for my husband's 40th.
feel free to add me0 -

Hello folks. I've been around for a few years but pretty much lived a hermit's life, just me and my app. Now I'm off the app and on the website and thought it was time I said hello.
Having just joined the group, I'm both current and active! Nice to meet you all. :smiles:0 -

Hi Everyone,
I'm in Perth, I joined up a while back but only started logging properly lately. I log every day and my diary is open to friends. I've lost about 15kgs so far and have about another 40ish to shift... Add me if you want!0 -
I'm here! 28 years old, and I'm from Melbourne. I have bursts of logging in regularly, interspersed with weeks where I go back to old habits. Goal for 2014 is to transition to more of the former and much less of the latter!0

I am back, I got to my ideal weight ( 49kg ) but yes I gained. I am back up to 55kg and I really feel it. My clothes are at the point of no return so here I go again. Never thought I would stuff up after losing so much but I decided chocolate was worth it, seems it isn't0

Hey all.
In true laconic Aussie style I'm here when I'm here. I come back for some after holiday tweaking and when I think I am getting off track so those 2 extra kilos don't turn into 5 then 10.
EDIT: if you are going to spout low carb, paleo, high protein, fasting, VLCD, weight lifting, protein powder, diet shakes, cauliflower pizza, noodles that taste like cardboard related stuff to me then please don't add me. No offense intended just that these things are not in my interest zone.0 -

12kg in 12 weeks is definitely achievable...
I lost 13kg in 2 months... rapid yes, but there were "side effects" for that loss.
I was doing a lot of work on the cross trainer and as a result, put my hip and pelvis out of alignment, also causing issues with my back. I had basically gone from doing very little exercise, to exercising 5-6 days a week, on average for an hour per session.
It took about 3-4 weeks for things to return to some normality.
In the 3 or 4 months following, I only lost another 5kg, but have pretty much relaxed the exercising to a degree, but have started mixing the sessions up a lot more, including running (which i have previously hated with a passion) and PT sessions. Yes my weight loss has plateaued out, but i still feel my body is transforming, turning what was once fat, hopefully into muscle.
I still have some way to go, aiming to lose another 5-10kg, but now have no set timeframe to reach this goal.
Just wanted to share this with you. Rapid weight loss is great for the ego, but make sure you listen to your body first and foremost...

I'm back after a BIG break from MFP - and from tracking and exercising and running and eating well.
No surprise that I have plenty of kg to lose again!
However, I know that if I eat good food (ie cut the crap!) with a small calorie deficit, and exercise regularly, I will lose weight.
Four weeks in and I'm down 2kg. My current goal is to lose 6kg in 6 months, but I'll reevaluate as I go.
I certainly have more than that to get to a healthy weight, but small goals are more likely to work for me.
I hope you're all enjoying the summer and not feeling like a pile of melted calories (or is that just me?)0 -
I am back, did well on here 18 months ago but life got ridiculous and I let it all slip. Back to do it all again because I know I can do it!, Have a bit to lose but I need to lose 1 kg before I can lose 30 kg. I am in Ballarat, Victoria, age 47' nearly 6ft tall and going into my fourth and last year of my Degree in History / Philosophy. All that essay writing and studying time makes it hard to avoid snacking, but just need to choose the correct things to snack on. Happy to befriend other Aussies for mutual support. My 29 year old son is a fitness nut and has been living in Europe since April and shall return in August, really want to lose kg's before his return.
Good luck to you all !!!!!!0 -
I'm back on MFP!! I lost a heap of weight previously on MFP, until I broke my foot and gave up..... 2014 is the time to restart and get back to my pre broken foot weight, plus a bit more!!0
-
I started last year around this time and have lost 25kg to date, I learned so much through trial and error in my first year of weight loss and now in this second year I feel so much more confident in knowing what works for me and am excited to lose another 20+ kg this year.
Goodluck on hitting your goals this year everyone.0
