    Hi All,

    I just joined MFP yesterday. My name is Kirsty and I am from Blenheim.
    I have about 25-30 kg to lose.
    I am a stay at home mum to my 2 beautiful daughters who are 14mth and 26mth. They are part of the reason I have embarked on this weight loss journey - I want to be a positive role model for them.
    I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I have never been skinny. I am really excited at the thought of being able to walk in to any clothes shop and buy what ever clothes I want rather than just having to buy what fits!

    Anyways, feel free to add me as a friend if you want.

    Kirsty

    Hi Everyone
    My name is James and Im a 33 yo landscaper living in Auckland with my wife and 2 young children.
    So glad to find a group for all the NZers on here
    I have had a bit of a wake up recently after being off work for 5 months and having surgery on my back. Realising I had put on weight I decided now was the time to not only lose the weight but to really look at what I was eating.
    After a trip to a nutritionist I am on my way to success with the help of MFP and would love to have some MFP Friends.
    So feel free to add me

    Find a nice, low-fat version. It won't taste as good, but it will satisfy your craving. Over here, we have these http://www.skinnycow.com/products/detail.aspx?id=24 - definitely easy to budget into one's daily calories :smile:

    Hey,

    I've just joined the group today to get a bit more motivation.

    I lost 10kgs about 5 year ago, stayed around the 52 kg mark and then managed to gain 13kgs in the space of a year and a half. I'm gutted I have let myself get this heavy again but I'm determined to get it off with a lot of hard work.

    I live in Auckland and spent a year working in chch, so conveniently blamed my weight gain on the quakes but have been home since October and have put on more weight... So have ran out of excuses!

    My biggest weakness is I love food, particularly pasta, tatoes, bread, rice..... Basically, any carb!

    Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi' and best of luck to everybody!

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a 22yo student living in Auckland. I found out about this site through the That's Life! mag. I'm about 95kg and need to lose at least 30kg. My biggest problem is not eating at the right time. Looking forward to a positive change :)

    hi all ... Been on MFP for about 2 months now i think ... I have been in this group for a while but haven't introduced myself so here I am.
    I am a 32yr olf mum of 2 gorgeous boys. One is 2 1/2yrs and my youngest is 6 months old. I have a big chunk of weight to lose and this is the year for me. I want to be a role model for my boys and instill good habits in their lives as they grow up.
    I am a nurse and currently still on maternity leave so trying to make the most of being off with my boys to get fit and healthy. I have run a couple of 5km races but walked over half of the distances of them. I am keen to do better in them and so I am doing C25k as well.
    I have found some great motivators on here and try to be motivating for others too.
    Feel free to add me ... always keen for motivating people and i will support you inn any way i can.
    Happy losing

    Hi guys... I've been here a couple of weeks and have a few kiwi friends, but would love some more. :)
    I'm a mum to three girls and live in Hawkes Bay.
    I joined MFP to sort my self out. I love being able to see what caleries different foods have (I never thought too much about what I eat before). I love the motivation and support I get from here. See ya!

    Kia Ora! I'm a kiwi girl at heart, living in Perth WA. I've committed myself to logging in with MFP to keep myself on track to lose weight, improve my fitness and eat healthier. If you're needing support & motivation like I do, you're welcome to add me as a friend. Would love to meet kiwi's in Perth, as well as staying connected to our beautiful country, Aotearoa.
