Looking for tall (176 / 5’9+) virtual friends who want to

I’ve been part of MFP for nearly 2 weeks, but I haven’t introduced myself yet.

I’m 42 with 2 teenage kids, a (skinny) husband and two beagles (not so skinny). I live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. I’ve grown up with metric, so in the first 2 weeks of MFP I’ve used my calculator more than I have in the last 2 years!! I now consider myself an expert on the pound/kg conversion (arghhhh).

In my mind’s eye, I’m still the skinny girl I was in Uni, but when I see pictures of myself – I know that’s not me anymore. I’m determined to get my brain and my body on the same wavelength!! This year (on January 16) I gave up all alcohol. I will not drink again until the kids finish school for the year, which is December 9. I figure losing weight will be so much easier without 800 calories of red wine every night (not to mention how much better my liver and brain cells will feel)!!

I’m looking for virtual friends with similar physiques and goals to travel the weight loss journey with me. I’m 5’9 (176cm) and now weigh 185 pounds (80.4kg). I want to lose about 40 pounds this year to get to 145 pounds (65kgs). That would put me smack-bang in the middle of my healthy weight range for my height.

If you’d like to be my virtual friend, please add me.
