Hi,

I'm a 38 year old mum of two kids (6 and 8 years). I live in Sydney, Australia and have finally got my act together and joined up here to lose about 17kg or so. Easier said than done so I need some motivational buddies! Anyone up for it?

Cheers,
Hannah

    Hi Hannah!

    I will gladly add you! I was out in Sydney about 4 or 5 months ago for a vacation, and I absolutely loved it there. We stayed on Bondi, and my profile picture is actually me out in Blue Mountains. Best of luck to you in your weight loss!

    Cheers,
    J

    Welcome to MFP! I must say, your accent is delightful! (I’ve always loved the Aussie accent from Olivia Newton-John to Hugh Jackman!) Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hello Hannah,

    I am also a Sydneysider. Just started yesterday and am focused on reaching my goal of a 10kg loss. Feeling very motivated right now, however I will need support when things get a bit difficult! I am hoping to enjoy the journey and wish you the best of luck...

    Hi

    I'm late to this one but I'm from Sydney too. It's great to see so many Aussies on here!

    I started yesterday and my goal is 10kg (in time for Christmas). Feel free to add me :)

    Cheers,

    Alicia
