Hi, I've think I've introduced myself elsewhere but can't remember where, duh?!!
I'm married, aged 30, 5 kids, and live in Taranaki.
I ballooned from 47kg to 92kg after 10 years of babies, miscarriages and other medical dramas. I have pcos, insulin resistant, but we have been really lucky baby-wise so I'm grateful for that.
I'm hoping to get down to 55kg eventually, but my short term goal is to get down to 75kg by christmas, current weight 83.5kg.
I'm really keen on diy, renovating, gardening, etc.
Quite keen for new ideas etc, bit new to this making an effort to lose weight thing, previously everything I've done diet-wise has been all about getting pregnant!
Many/ most of my friends and family are overweight, and seeing as I used to be the "skinny one" they aren't terribly impressed or supportive of my efforts to lose weight. I think they were secretly pleased when I became "one of them". (Though my very fit and active husband is thrilled & very supportive, just not very vocal about it!- fairly typical kiwi bloke, lol)
Please add me! I have one friend so far, lol, (thanks twizelgirl!

Hi everyone,
Thought that it was about time to post an intro.
My name is Mike, only 40ish, and I am currently living in the Wairarapa, but work in Wellington.
Trying hard to not only drop some weight, but keep it off as well. At my worst, I topped 154kg, now 129kg.
I have and am loving my FitBit, trying to keep the exercise up, and now time to focus on the calories going in. have been contemplating going Primal ...???
Feel free to ad me
Take care out there0 -

My name is Geoff born in Whanganui living in Ratana.
Desperately want to get well and that tarts with me dedicating time to do this. I have been a yo yo for too long and need to be more consistent. Im 46 and it is through the inspiration of my sons that have motivated me to look at my own self care.
So I have just joined and have also brought a fitbit....now I intend to bring the sweat.
Im older and hopefully a little more wiser. I have been training now for the last few weeks and I am proud of this. Health is now more holisitc and less about my ego.
please feel free to communicate....22 kilograms to go and I will get there.
Repentently yours.....Geoff0 -
Hey hey everyone!
I'm Sigrid, I'm 18 years old and I live in Hamilton (but moving to Wellington next year for uni, exciting!). I've only recently discovered MFP and I love it.
I started at 75kg and my goal is to get to around 65kg. I realised that I needed a lifestyle change when I was puffing walking up hills and chocolate didn't even taste nice anymore!
After gaining 10kg quite rapidly I'm happy to be active and healthy for once and slowly taking that extra weight off.
I'm 173cm and mainly not here for weight loss, that's an extra bonus. I want to get fit and strong so I'm not a weakling living on my own next year!
That's all really, but good luck to everyone here!0 -
Hi Sigrid, glad you found us. Did you know there is a MFP Facebook Group too? Much easier to find local news, discussion and chat. Watch out for Karen F though, she posts really "naughty" pictures!

Hi I'm Joanna
Joined MFP a while back but only just found this group!
I'm living in Queenstown for another 10 days before moving back to my home city of Christchurch next Monday!
I'm a 'healthy' weight (55kgs and 160cms) but I'm focusing on making better food choices and building my fitness and strength.
Please feel free to add me if you think we'd keep each other motivated, especially if you're like me and have a lot of balls to juggle, work, kids, homelife etc
I've requested membership to the FB group so hoping I get accepted!0 -
Hello Im new to this having just joined 2 weeks ago.
I would love to have some friends for support. Please feel free to add m.0 -

I'm Anita, 20, from the naki but studying in Wellington. I put on 10kgs living in chile a couple of years ago and I'm trying to lose 15 - ultimate goal is to have a bikini bod by 1 december. there, i've told you, now it has to happen. ha
add me please! (facebook and mfp) 0 -
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!0

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!0 -
Loving this NZ'ers group!
