    Hey I've come back to MFP to start up again with my toning process just before I hit the Greek islands in July! Just need to lose those last few kgs and I'm finding it hard to stick to my calorie goals without exercise. Am planning to do the 30 Day Shred from scratch this week so if anyone from Aus would like to add me so we can keep motivated together feel free cause it would be nice to have some support! Thanks, Vhia.

    Looking for more highly active people to keep me motivated and to motivate back!

    I've dropped 20kg since the start of the year and have also recently started lifting weights at least 3 times a week on top of 3+ basketball sessions a week.

    Age, gender, location doesn't matter as long as you're active!

    Just realised I hadn't posted in here yet. Always happy to add new friends on here, especially more Aussies.

    I'm a 32yo guy, about 25kgs down from my heaviest and a few more to go.

    I basically follow the rule of not doing anything you can't/don't want to sustain long term. Basically an IIFYM approach to my diet. Happy to offer any support or advise to others along the way - but no judgement (unless you ask for it of course). :glasses:

    Hi Guys,
    I'm from the Central Coast/Newcastle area.
    I have lost 20kg on another program but have struggled to get past the next hurdle. 15kg to go and I know MFP can help to get me there.
    Feel free to add me! :-)

    Hi, feel free to add me ... I need to be held accountable, and I find when I don't login daily on MFP my weight suffers!

    I'm 31 from Melbourne - my favourite way to exercise is kickboxing, and body combat classes. I'm trying to lose 10kg to get back to my pre wedding weight :/

    I'm always looking for new friends. I'm 29, almost the big 3 0 :noway: I have a 14 month old baby boy and I work part time at an animal pound. I have a bunch of dogs and my friends and I compete in dogs sports pretty often. I have lost around 15kg since having my son and around 25kg from my highest ever weight. I'm still attempting to lose another 15-20kg. I've been a bit stuck lately so I'm attempting to lower my carbs but I still have big splurges with friends and stuff on the weekend so my diary can be all over the place :laugh:

    Hey there, I'm 31 and friends with the gorgeous Sal82 ^^ IRL, so all those things too, dog sports, big weekend eating and I have a 2yo son!

    I've gotten to my goal weight and have been on maintenance for about 5-6 weeks now, and am very scared about putting it all back on! (which I know I wont do all of a sudden, but it crept on to me once, I need to make sure I dont let it creep back on again in the future!)

    Feel free to add me, anyone who thinks I can help them or they can help me lol!

    Hi all, I'm 26, from Perth, WA.
    Started at 145 kg last December, currently at 106 kg, working towards my first goal of 95 kg. I'll reassess where I am from there.
    Looking to start playing baseball again later this year, and rugby next year, after having to give up both because of weight-related joint injuries.

    I was obese for a lot years, losing a little and then putting it back on over and over again. Tried various diets and programs with limited success. I took a different approach this time. Did a huge amount of research into weight loss, diet, nutrition, etc, and combined bits and pieces of it all into something that works for me. I've developed my own ideas of what I need, so you might notice my caloric intake doesn't quite match up with what MFP recommends for me.

    I'd like to have a few more friends on here that speak in kg and not pounds!

    Hi there, I am 30, live in Adelaide and I'm here looking for support and motivation (and to give some too).
    I have about 8kg to lose and have been struggling with these for the past 5yrs! I have tried every possible diet for about 2wks then usually cave in and give it up.
    Now that I am 30, i have realised that dieting isnt the key, healthy living is! I try to eat clean for at least 80% of the time and allow myself a few treats. I use MFP for tracking and support however I dont focus too much on the numbers.
    If you are similar or just looking for support please feel free to add me :)

    What an awesome idea this thread is!!
    I am a mum of two, 5 yo and 4 month old. Have 12 kilos to lose, have lost 3 with mfp already, and have just started following the eat more to weigh less philosophy. Was sick of starving myself at 1200 calories and feeling like I could eat the leg off a chair allyhr time.
    I work out with a trainer 3 ties a week as well as doing a mix of walking, Zumba (at home in front of the Telly!) and elyptical trainer.
    Would love to have some friends from aus who are like minded and heading for the same goals.
    My weakness is my chocolate addiction and sweet tooth, please feel free to add me.

    Hey there

    I' m in need of a friend friend additions. I'm new to the whole fitness scene, never have i ever really thought about changing my lifestyle until a recent trip to the states where all we ate was take-away food as it was the easiest (not healthiest) option.

    Since returning I've been preparing my own meals, eating healthy snacks of fruits, nuts and vegetable sticks and I'm actually enjoying it.

    I have just also recently started going to the gym and having a few of my mates motivate me as much as possible and to push myself as hard as ever.

    I'm hoping not only to make new friends in the real world but also on MFP, as I have been told of this wonderful online community that share stories, motivate one another and just keep track of how everyone is.

    I may be new to this, but I'm sure as hell motivated.

    -Palmer.

    Hi all,

    I am a 41 almost 42 (yay double 21st coming very soon) mum of 1. I found this site last week and so far have been very good with what I have been putting in my mouth. It's amazing just how much bad stuff is out there. I am constantly looking at the labels of food to see if I can eat it or not or if I can just how much I can eat. I am trying to lose 30 kgs as I am so sick of myself and hate the way I feel. I am not one for doing a lot of excercise but will start. I need some motivation and support as I am not telling my family what I am doing. I am hoping they will notice and comment without any prior knowledge of what I am doing. Please add me. Would love to get some advice from others in the same boat as me. :flowerforyou:
