    I just started using MFP this Wednesday and have definitely not skimmed the service of the functions of this yet.

    I do think we live close, so I can really be on your case if you're not logging your meals :P

    Good to see other men about! I too am from Australia so not too far away, just down the road in Brisbane.

    I'm not by any means knowledgeable in the area of health and fitness though I have heard of starvation mode. I think the main thing would be listen to your body, if you aren't hungry, you are losing weight and feeling fine then keep going. At least that is how I'd think to go.

    I've done a few diets over the years, most successful was doing the Tony Ferguson meal replacement shakes for almost a year. Lost something like 40kg but I've since put most of that back on. I was keeping it mostly off for a while but then I injured my knee (torn meniscus) and had subsequent issues with blood clots that required me to be on warfarin for a year which just knocked me about and I slacked off. Tried weight watchers with minor success but in reality I wasn't motivated.

    This year a gym opened at my place of work so I joined mainly thinking of doing cardio (treadmill) to get moving again and well here I am starting to track my intake etc and feeling motivated to change (for a change)!

    I've been here a month you or anyone else is welcome to add me. I'm always on the lookout for positive people too. I'm pretty dedicated to my workout regimen and tracking my food, so I will always be here.
