Hi,

I'm 28 years old and I live in rural NSW. I am a High School Teacher and I have tried many different weight loss programs. Weight Watchers, Shakes, Duromine, the list goes on. I have successfully lost weight before by recording EVERYTHING including food, drink, exercise and daily weight. But the kgs (or lbs lol) have slowly crept back on.

My Current weight is 134Kgs (295lbs)
My IDEAL Goal weight is 80Kgs (176lbs) but realistically I would be happy to be between 90-100kgs (198-220lbs)
I am 179cm tall.

I have been using the myfitnesspal app on my iphone for 5 days now and it is amazing how easy it is. I especially love <3 the barcode scanner.

Any other Aussies out there... I'd love to hear from you.

    Hi I'm an Aussie/ American (expat), from southern suburbs of Melbourne, feel free to add me :D I like MFP, so easy to use! Been using it straight for 10 days and a bit off / on before that.

    I am a 120.2 kg at the moment, prior to that I was about 125-126. Lost 25kg a few years ago, and would like to get down to 100kg at least.
