Hi Im Pip,
I am from New Zealand and work in the drilling/construction industry.
I have never been small and always thought i was bigger than i actually was....looking back at high school i wouldn't mind having that body again, even though i thought i was huge (really i wasnot even overweight, just healthy, soooo many girls in my year were stick thin) .
I have problems with chocolate at that time of the month (i don't really drink either so chocolate is kinda my go to food lol) but i usually manage to keep under my goal.
I got to the gym 5 or 6 times a week and go walking with friends too so i do a bit of exercise,
Now for the scary part, I've never really told anyone my weight but we are all here to support each other so here goes:

SW 117kg
MFP SW 114kg
CW 108.5kg
GW 70-75kg

I am currently a NZ size 16/18 and my goal is a NZ size 10/12

Feel free to add me, every one of my friends is inspiration to keep going :)

    Hi Pip! I'm impressed, I haven'r been able to go that often to the gym yet. I do have a question, how are you dealing with the heat, is it extreme there too?

    Thanks ladies!! the heat here isn't as bad as Australia, this week's highs are between 25 and 30 deg celcius so not too bad, although there is a hot wind that's making it waaaay to hot to even think about going for a long walk, whats getting me to the gym the last few weeks is the air conditioning!!
    That and i don't start back at work till the 14th....but its easier for me to control my eating at work (i only eat what i take with me) , just hoping i can keep up the gym work!

    Oh, well at least your gym has air conditioner, mine doesn't :( Here today we had 36 celcius, It is impossible for me to try to do anything...

    I think you will keep up with the gym, =)

    I forgot to add, i'm challenging myself to not eat fast food for this whole year....i never had it that often but i want to stop altogether.
    Also i'm not restricting what i eat, i still have chocolate, icecream, pizza etc, just working on portions and fitting it into my allowances for the day.
    Awesome to have you all here :)
