Relatively new to MFP looking for some like minded friends

BrettS1973

Hi,

My name is Brett, I live in NSW, Australia.

I joined MFP about 10 days ago but have been working on my weight and diet since march this year when I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2. Just controlling it with diet at present.

I also have quite a bit of weight to lose. I was advised to keep my goals realistic and achievable so at first I set myself a 5kg goal, When I reached that I set myself a further 10kg goal. And then when I achieved that I set myself another 10kg goal. I find this is working well for me and not aiming for the moon all at once so to speak.

I have now lost almost 20 kg's in 5 months. (43 lbs?) and feel much healthier for it.

I am also an avid fitbit user, although my exercise/steps has suffered this week do to a back injury on monday, but almost recovered, so feel free to friend me over there. http://www.fitbit.com/user/23HGXR

Would really love some friends at MFP,
