Hi my name is Sandi,have join MFP to see if I can get my fitness level back and get my weight under control. I am 1.79 and 90kg my new doctor told me I need to join weight watchers (which I can't afford). I need to drop 20kg. I have had a number of accidents some more serious than others but they have all have taken there toll on my fitness and me being capable of exercising. I walk my two dogs every day for approximately an hour a day some times twice a day (during daylight saving), I help a friend who breeds horses with her herd( trim feet and handle young horses but not as often as I use to). I have always had horses but circumstances changed and I had to sell mine that was two years ago and I miss the physical work that went with them(sometimes) I joined the pool complex and did aqua jog classes and spin, pump & pilates but the wallet was unable to keep up with the fees so I went back to walking the dogs. We walk along the river and around the streets of hillcrest. I use to be a slim fit active person and now I am told by my doctor that I am obese and should be doing something about it but have yet to be able to drop any weight.

Hi, I'm Kathleen and I'm from Huntly. I've just joined MFP and its great to find other Kiwi's! I've got a lot of weight to lose, I'm 5ft 3in and 92kg, hoping to get down to 80kg by Xmas and by end of next year be down to 65kg-70kg.

Hi I am Selina, I live in Hamilton, like Jesse I am a vet nurse. I am currently studying while working to try move onto the human field in anaesthetics. I am a keen triathlete well I used to be. I am trying to get a bit on track now. If only I had more time in the day. I have entered Karapiro Half Ironman. Is anyone else doing it? or would like to bike with me???

I love this app and this site. I don't need to lose to much just eat better thats why I am on here. I am addicted to sugar and I have had a few stomach issues.

Hi everyone!

I'm Natasha from little old Taumarunui! I'm 25 years old and just recently engaged(Last weekend!) and I'm a mummy of a gorgeous 8 month old boy.

I'm obviously trying to lose my baby weight and be healthy for my family but I also have a new goal of looking good for my wedding, when ever it may be!

It's great to finally talk to people in the same language! lbs confuse me, I have to have an online converter open all the time!

Feel free to add me as a friend!

My name is Geoff born in Whanganui living in Ratana.

Desperately want to get well and that tarts with me dedicating time to do this. I have been a yo yo for too long and need to be more consistent. Im 46 and it is through the inspiration of my sons that have motivated me to look at my own self care.

So I have just joined and have also brought a fitbit....now I intend to bring the sweat.

Im older and hopefully a little more wiser. I have been training now for the last few weeks and I am proud of this. Health is now more holisitc and less about my ego.

please feel free to communicate....22 kilograms to go and I will get there.

Repentently yours.....Geoff

Hi Sigrid, glad you found us. Did you know there is a MFP Facebook Group too? Much easier to find local news, discussion and chat. Watch out for Karen F though, she posts really "naughty" pictures!

Hi I'm Joanna

Joined MFP a while back but only just found this group!
I'm living in Queenstown for another 10 days before moving back to my home city of Christchurch next Monday!
I'm a 'healthy' weight (55kgs and 160cms) but I'm focusing on making better food choices and building my fitness and strength.
Please feel free to add me if you think we'd keep each other motivated, especially if you're like me and have a lot of balls to juggle, work, kids, homelife etc
I've requested membership to the FB group so hoping I get accepted!

I just joined the MFP NZ group on facebook and thought i'd say holla here as well.
