Gday all

New around here and thought that I would introduce myself. I am a typical Aussie guy.

I used to work as a scuba instructor at a resort on the Great Barrier Reef and through good diet (no KFC on the island) and lots of physical activity (2-3 dives a day everyday) I was very fit and healthy at 85kg.

Unfortunately since then age has caught up with me and combined with a desk job the middle age spread is taking control ..... anyway I have decided to take control back and I have found this site (through the iPhone app) and I hope that people here may be able to assist with keeping me motivated and actively fighting the fat.

Scott

    Hello :)

    I'm an Aussie living in London UK. I have used this site for over a year and it's helped me lose over 40kg's :) It's an amazing tool to track cals and get support from others all over the world who are trying to do the same thing as you. I love MFP! :)

    Happy for anyone to add me if you are looking for mutual support on this weight loss journey :)

    HI there Scott. Jackie from Brissie. There is an Australian group called "Aussie Aussie Aussie". We also have a weigh in challenge which is for Australian's only. This allows us all to be in the same time zone for weigh ins, it's all in kilos, and we can all support each other. Many of us are friends for all these reasons and more. Feel free to add me if you'd like. Look forward to MFP'ing with you.

    This is the link to the weigh in spread sheet. We're going down the page each week. ;) Weigh in is on Sundays.
