Aussie friends

Hi, Linda here turning 60 later this year, need to lose about 8 kilos to look good and feel fitter, I am an artist, love animals and reading... lots of other things too :) live on the south coast of NSW. Using My Fitness Pal to log all of my foods as it keeps me accountable, aiming for 1000 to 1200 cals per day. I have gone very well this week and feel so much better. I have cut out wine in the week, allowing myself the occasional one, and only one! That was my downfall before ... most evenings I would indulge, hence the fat creep! I feel so much better this week having a healthy diet, I want to move more, and have been getting jobs done that have been sitting there a while!
Would love to have some friends here to chat to :)
Linda
