Thought I would finally post in here.. I'm Georgie, twenty something, from Wellington. Semi new to MFP, keep going on and off it but now I'm committed to using it! Joining the gym again next week, aim is to get back down to 50-52kgs that I was last year.. put on weight while at my last year at uni and not having the time to exercise (only six weeks of University left forever!). Would love to have some friends on here!

Hello I'm Kerry I have been on here almost a year. But in that time I have been away for about 10 mths of that :frown: but i'm back and have been doing very well.

I live in Ruawai (south of Dargaville) in Northland, I'm 33 with 5 kids (oldest is my step son (17) and my youngest and only girl is 3.5) I am working along side my husband on a dairy farm here and have been here for three dairy seasons.

My biggest issue is we are kinda in the middle of no where and support as sparse and far between here. I joined MFP for that support but found if you dont come on here when you are lacking in that motivation your not going to get the support So i'm back and going finally kick my *kitten* under 100kg. I really want to get to my healthy weight which is 66kg but that feels MILES AND MILES away so under 3 digits would be nice :flowerforyou:

Anyone who would like to add me as a friend would be great!

I'm from North of Auckland and just looking for some fellow kiwis to motivate me and chat about goals and hurdles, food and exercise and it'd be good to make some like minded friends too!

sophiedb

hi all I'm Sophie - have been a member of MFP for a year but never got properly stuck in. I hope that if I get into the community part too it'll carry me along to my goal! I live in Chch, but am originally from the UK. Got one husband, one 5yo daughter, four chooks, a veggie patch in need of lots of work (think exercise motivating thoughts..) and a desk job. Um, that's me

Kia ora koutou.
I'm Keriana, also called Georgie. I'm 44 with 2 grown kids, 1 boy and 1 girl. Originally from good old Christchurch but moved to Oregon USA back in the winter of 2006. (Most of NZ was covered in snow too.) Recently relocated to Florida in September of this year with the new Hubby. Well nearly new cause it's been almost 2 years.
I started my health and well being changes on January 8th of this year. Finally decided that if I want my knee to stop hurting then I should look at getting fitter than I was. The bonus to that is the weight I have shed. I started MFP on June 1st because of one of my Oregonian friends and it has been one of the better things I have done for myself.
SW: 112kg
CW: 91kG
1st GW: 75kg
Possible final GW 65kg.
Oh and I am 160cm short. Lol I had to convert everything to Kgs since it's all lbs & ozs here.

lizzyscupcakes

Hey everyone!!

KahuNZ

@ lizzy - That is a good loss! Well done and keep going in the direction you are travelling - its working!

lizzyscupcakes

Thanks, im working very hard this time around so i know this will pay off!

Had a look at your profile and a big thumbs up to you!!!

Effpcos

Hey Lizzy, welcome! My (official) starting weight was 92kg too, now down to 75kg (as of this morning), hoping to get to 70kg by Christmas, goal is 55kg for now.
How tall are you out of curiosity?

absolutionneverrelativity

Results this week: weight loss of 500grams and a body fats % loss of 1%. I am happy with these results (stoaked actually considering I had a bad 3rd day, my nieces 5th birthday and a big family roast on sunday) : )

craftymaureen

Hello, my name is maureen and i'm a food-a-holic!. I eat the seefood diet, but it's got me into trouble. Lots. Between the eating, the wine and several months on prednisone (I have lupus) i'm now 113.00. so a wee tad to loose.

I found this site, a friend uses a similar one and I like it - so easy to use. Started tracking yesterday.

got all my summer clothes down out of the loft yesterday and started washing them. hmmmmmmmmpppph... not that many will fit, but it has motivated me.

My bug bear is when entering my data I got it wrong and put 111.3 instead of 113. I tried to change the inital weight but couldn't. if anyone knows how I can do this would appreciated it.

thanks and hope everyone has a productive weight loss day:)

DoinItForMe32

Hi there,

My name is Victoria and I'm from the Waikato I have tried this out a few times and learned some tough lessons but well needed lessons, I am back for good, logging everything, open diary and being accountable.

Starting weight 74kg
Current weight 68.5kg
Goal weight 65 kg

If i can manage to get to my goal weight it will be the first time in 2 years that I have managed it I am going to give it my all. If you have room on your friends list please feel free to add me I am a great supporter but with most of my contacts over seas it makes it a little difficult.
