I joined here June 2012 and for 6 months I led a very healthy and happy lifestyle and lost 38lbs in that time.

Then I moved with my OH(and lab!) from Ireland to Perth, Australia.
The heat was unbearable for me... for the 1st 3months any exercise was impossible, somedays I could barely breathe with the damn heat!
Then just as the heat was starting to go I badly injured my back and it is recovering extremely slowly. I am having physio twice a week for it and getting fed up being in pain and not being able to do what I used :(
As well as the no exercise for the first 2 months we were living in a self serviced apt and survived on takeaways for lunch/dinner everyday! not good!
At last weigh in I had gained 10lbs but I imagine that's around double now, I need to weigh in tomorrow morning to find out the real damage....

Anyway next month I will be on here a year and despite not leading a healthy lifestyle the past 5 months I have been logging in everyday which causes the following dilemma!
Should I keep my log in streak going or start afresh? In 2 minds as to which would be a bigger motivator.........

A few people have deleted me so I am also looking for new friends!

I am 5'7 and my GW is around 150-160lbs!
I'm 30 in September and it would be great to have reached it then although I'm not looking that far forward yet!

Thanks for reading and I hope to make some new friends from this :)
