"Hello" Newbie From Australia

MiekeJ

Hi There Everyone,

My name is Mieke and I am 23 years old. I live in Australia (QLD) and I have just begun to really get into MFP today. One thing I love about this is that it has an iPhone App... how cool is that? It really helps me stay focused and its interesting to see everything you eat written infront of you. Real eye opener.

Anyway, I thought I'd hop onboard. I dont really have that much weight to loose (Maybe 2-3kgs), but I think this would be a great way to keep my diet on the healthy side.

Don't be shy to say hello!

Hello there

Nice to see a Aussie contingent on the site.

Have things dried up up there yet?

Did you get flooded?

Hopefully not

MiekeJ

Hey Spritie,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

No, there isn't any floods where I am at the moment. However, the rain is off and on a lot of the time! Very annoying!!!

So are you from Australia?

Hey Miekej, I'm from Aus too. Living in Canberra at the moment (have been here way too long already). I found this through the iphone app as well - it is certainly awesome

Probably take you a while to add all the stuff you eat to the database, since its mostly full of US foods (even when they're the same brand and product, they're often different, or just use a different name), but after a while it begins to go like clockwork.

Good luck!

MiekeJ

Thanks for the Welcome Dom_m!

It has been taking me a while to get all 'My Foods" together, but I'm actually enjoying it! Haha! It's good to actually throughly go through all the Nut Info for everything I eat.... it's interesting!

Anyway, It's time for me to knock off and head to the gym! ;-)

Hello and welcome!

I'm American but living in Brisbane for 6 months, feel free to friend me if you like. This is a great community!

MiekeJ

Thanks Tavander & Stormy69,

Very happy to see that there are a few Aussies active on this site! Yay for us!

Forums are really really great for this sort of thing. I used to hang out in the Tony Ferguson forums a lot, great crew there too! :-) Can't wait to get to know a lot of you. :-)

Anyway, I think I'll finish today on a good note: I had a relatively good day. I didn't go over my calorie limit (a little over in sugar... but only a smidge!), I had an awesome workout at the gym tonight, earning myself approximately 500+ cal :-) Whoo hoo!
Best of all, apparently: -if everyday were like today, I'd be 63kg by April 25th-

YOU BEAUTY!

Sleep tight fellow MFPers!
