Hello from Perth, WA

Hi everyone!

I have been calorie counting for quite a few years but never before with so much accuracy thanks to my new iphone and MFP! I lost 14kgs a few years ago by calorie counting, then gained about 4, maintained it for about two years, and have now taken off 4 since New Year! So I am ready to get that last 10 off and reach my goal weight.

I have been researching a bit on the board and am starting to feel that my previous inconsistent results might have been due to all or nothing approach and not eating exercise calories and then blowing it all on the weekend due to fatigue... I nee d to work a few things out...

I am still single at 34, sometimes that makes me very happy (like when I'm chilling at home in my underwear, or making a mess in the kitchen with no-one to consider but myself, or making all my interior decorating decisions myself, or hearing people who settled for mediocre relationships whine about their partners :P) and sometimes it makes me very sad (like when I'm the only single at the dinner table, or watching my friends and ther partners and how happy they are to be a family with their kids, or at family gatherings when everyone just looks like they're feeling sorry for the poor spinster) but I'd really like to find that secial someone and getting to a healthy weight is an important part of that process for me.

Cheers,
Ness

Hi! and Welcome!

I just had to reply because since this is a US site, I thought you were from Washington State 'WA' and then I thought..."there is no Perth here in Washington..." then I made the connection "OH! she must be from OZ!"

ok...I'm the only one laughing at me.

Nope, I thought that too, being from WA (in the U.S.) myself. I was going to tell her she picked the wrong state/country. What is WA in Aussie-speak?


edit to say, Oh, Welcome Ness! Is it the middle of the day there? Or morning? It's nearly 9 at night here in Washington State, U.S.
