My name is Mma-tshepo and I am turning 27 in December. I am so glad that I discovered this site and am quite excited to get some help with losing weight. I decided to resume my studies last year and arrived at varsity weighing aproximately 60 kilos, I now weight 76.6 kilos. A lot of this weight gain can be attributed to the food that we are fed in the dining hall (which includes potatoes, potatoes and more potatoes) and to all the late nights of studying and eating. I really miss the weight that I was last year and can't wait to fit into all the clothes that are in my cupboard. Its quite strange because I used to be able to lose weight quite easily and quickly but now....My goal is to have lost a significant amount of weight by my birthday which is on the 25th of December (I even have an outfit that I want to wear). So ja, this is me and looking forward to getting in shape....:smooched:

Thinking back about 6 yrs ago I was weighing at my lowest of 218 pounds, lots can happen in 6 yrs and I know its not easy to lose the weight. My goal this month is to lose 10 pounds. I hope I can stick to it. I wish you luck and hope that you do get to your goal wieght.

    Hey there , I am also from SA Cape Town to be exact. Good luck with your weight lose. I have been on the site for a week and it is really working well. Its a great site.
    I joined a bit late cause I wanted to lose a few kilo's by my birthday but I turn 30 on Friday so I will have to set a new goal . Although I did lose 2 kgs in my first week so thats a good start .

    Anyway
    Good luck
