Hi all,

I am a 25 year old female. I work as a nanny but am doing this overseas in Europe and travel a lot. I used to be a personal trainer back in my homeland and was in great condition but since I have been away (since April 2010) my body has lost most of its shape :(

I go home in January 2010 and want to lose 5kgs by then. I am finding this hard to do as I am eating more than I used to do and don't belong to a gym any more. I have been blaming it on travelling all year and finally only just realised that this really isnt an excuse!

I am looking for someone (only one really!) to work with one on one to help keep us both in check. Preferably I want someone who is motivated and positive (very important). I am thinking frequent emails, checking in on food diary (food is more important to me that exercise to begin with), checking up on measurements etc. I am not overweight just heavier than I normally am. At the moment I am size 38/40 whereas I would usually sit at 36. If there was someone ina similar position to this that would be good.

Please reply here, or post on my wall and we can exchange email addresses!

Looking forward to hearing from a likeminded person :)

Frances

  • Hey I'm Travis and I'm 15 and crazy about being healthy and losing weight I am looking to lose about 10-15 more pounds, its harder now because I broke my collar bone about a week ago, before that I went to the gym about 4 times a week, I've already lost some weight but I want to lose more, and its always easier with someone else
