Hi everyone.
I'm Rachel from Auckland, New Zealand. I found MyFitnessPal a month ago and have to say I'M ADDICTED! (I just haven't posted on here yet) What a pleasure it is to know exactly what's going in to my body. AND, i've just got myself a fancy new Polar heartrate monitor so I can track all my burnt calories accurately at the gym and build up my fitness too. In a few short weeks, I've lost over 3kg and am absolutely loving the feeling. It's been a year of maintaining a 20kg weight loss but I just needed that boot up the backside to get the remaining 10kg off. I want to be super fit again and actually go and buy a swimsuit for summer (which is in 3 short months). The last time I wore one of those was about 8 years ago,

Here's to good food and getting IT off.

    You're right about that! I did lose the first 20kg with W/W but the ongoing costs were so high, I had to give it up. There's actually far more motivation (for me anyway) in keeping an honest food diary on this website than anything else has been.

    Good luck to you too Lorraine! 10kg seems like so little but by golly it's hard! I weighed myself this morning and did a little dance at the 500g loss. :)
