Hi all
Im a 39 yo mum with 2 teenage daughters and work full time. Was once a fab 63kg but over the last 10 years put on at least 25 kg. My scales can't be found right now...so estimating at present. Been using myfitnesspal for 2 weeks and have noticed a change in clothes which is good. My goal weight is 63kg.
Don't have much support with my diet at home as the remainder of the family eat as they wish, although come dinner time they have no choice but to eat what I eat as im the one doing the cooking !
Thanks for reading my post...hope to hear from you soon.

Just visited Melbourne last Dec 16 to 21. Faboulous city. Truly an amazing place to visit and live, I imagine!

Welcome to the site, and if you need friends, feel free to add me!

Welcome Jenet! I have two teenagers too and it's hard to stick to healthy eating. :grumble: Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Hey Jenet,

Feel free to add me to your list. I have only been on the site for 11 days and it is pretty nice. The support you will find is great no matter how little or big amount you want to lose. You are from the area where one of my best friends from college now resides. His wife was from the area.

Hi Jenet,

I'm in Melbourne too :happy: I started on here over a year ago at nearly 95kg (I'm only 5'2) and as of today I'm down to 64kg and for the first time in my life fitting into size 10 clothes :bigsmile:

I also have 2 teenagers, as well as a 5yo and 3yo twins. My kids sound the same as yours with their eating, my Husband has been joining in on the diet and exercise a bit more lately (probably since I have been getting a lot of positive comments) and we have been trying to do more activity as a family. If you do the shopping then I would just not buy the unhealthy food and then its just not there to tempt you, my kids are always moaning there is nothing good in the house to eat, I just tell them there is plenty of fruit so help yourselves :laugh: but they are teenagers, its like it is their job to complain!!

Good luck, I will send you a friend request, I have a great network of friends on here (lots are Aussies) and they are all so supportive and motivating and it has helped me so much with my weight loss.

Amanda.
