Hi
I'm Bex, 35
I am an Intermediate School teacher in Waiuku.
I have been battling my weight since before I can remember. Five years ago at 101kgs I had a gastric band operation and even though a lot of people seem to think its an easy out, its hard and after a 30kgs loss my weight started to climb again. I am now back at 84kgs - something I never thought would happen again!!
So after a few half hearted attempts of using mfp I decided enough is enough - so I have started exploring this site and now I want to really start using the tools it provides - including the support :flowerforyou:
I am due to do outward bound in 3 weeks and I guess, for me, that will be the start of a whole new way of life.
Would love to be added as a friend :drinker:

Hi all! I'm Libby. I signed up to MFP a week a go and I love it!!
I live in Wellington with my three year old daughter and my partner.
In 2010 I lost a lot of weight, I got down to perhaps 73kgs. I looked and felt amazing!! I then early 2011 started eating junk food all the time with my partner (who is a stick!!) and I put on just under 30kgs within 2 years!
I am 152.4cm tall and m y start weight was 100kg, current weight is 98.5 and my goal is 70kgs.0 -
Hi all,
I'm JP, 42 years old, 2 kids, lovely wife. Kiwi living in Singapore. Too much of the good life means I need to change my lifestyle and exercise habits. I have 6 year old daughter and a 3 year old son. My goal is to be a great dad and be healthy enough to play with the kids and be a good example to them both. I'm already fairy active but have bad dietary habits, this my roadblock.
Male, 178cm (5'10"), 92kgs.
I love: milkshakes, chocolate mint biscuits, steak/eggs/chips, hamburgers, rotisserie (BBQ) chicken... mmmmmm... all this is making me hungry!! (see what I mean??)
Feel free to add me as a friend... Good luck to you all with your goals, I'm sure we'll all get there.

Hi All, Although i am actually Australian (don't hold it against me) I became a NZ citizen in 2010 ( have lived in nz for over half my life).
I'm 25 and married, have 1 dogbaby, 2 turtles and about 4kgs to go before I reach my 'goal weight'.
I have been a member for a wee while now and initially loved the progress that I was making, but have been at a plateau for months. I know my commitment needs a kick in the bum... but hopefully that's where you come in
Nice to finaly have caught on to some 'locals'.
All the best to you and your journey.
Please feel free to add me if you think we could have some common ground.

Hi all
My story is the familiar one of yo-yo losses and gains with each time ending a bit heavier than before. For example in the past year i have gained and lost and gained and lost the equivalent to about 60kg.
So the madness stops here.
I want to be able to do a 5k run following the c25k programme and will start toward this goal seriously when my weight gets below 100kg.
Is anyone here from the WestCoast of the South Island? Please, add me if you are because I know hardly anyone here and the local support would be great.0 -
hi Im Kerry new I arrived in new Zealand in oct 2011and whangarei now my home and Im here for keeps with my family.
I got a fitbit for Christmas which is a great motivator but its my diet that fails and NZ is testing my willpower too many sweets/ lollies here to temp me and icecream I am rapidly becoming a hokey pokey addict. Manage to keep up with fitness despite not being able to afford a gym membership as yet . Have a cross trainer and a vast array of fitness dvds and weights and I run most mornings.
Gained a few pounds since coming here and want it gone0 -
Hi everyone,
My name is Julia, I live in Christchurch. I am 38, have 2 little boys and a wonderful hubby. I am 172cm tall I am currently 88kg and my goal is 75kg. I have previously lost 20kg through weight watchers before I had my children. I put that all back on, so it is back to losing the extra luggage and making healthy eating choices again, lifestyle change!
I have been doing this program for 1.5 weeks now, I am finding it fantastic! I can't believe the database of foods this program has. Hopefully I can keep this up, with a little support.
Nice to meet you all.

Hi my name is Tammy I'm 26 and a single mama of 1 very energetic 5yr old boy, I have a beautiful dog and a new addition as of friday to the family - an awesome cat named Bandit who truly lives up to his name.
I need to lose weight after 3 1/2yrs of study and 20kgs later its time to get rid of it, though i would still like to lose another 20kgs on top of that.
so a very long road ahead of me, I really just want to find supportive people that will help encourage me through this journey and I would like to do the same for others.
Happy day people 0
