Heya, I'm 35 from Adelaide - I work a million hours a week and so don't get out much...

Please be my friend!! Interwebs friends is all I has

Hi all,

I am a 44yo single mum living in Sydney with my 13yo daughter, who is with me 100% of the time.

I have 25kg to lose. I just did my body fat calculations today and was horrified to see it is 45%. 5 years ago I was 60kg with 21% body fat and was pretty fit. Hmmm. So, things haven't been that good... BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING!

I work full time in the city and commute over 2 hours a day, fortunately have an iPad and so I do some work en route, and walk about half of that time, so that is good for my overall health and up until this week, that was the only exercise I was doing. I just joined the gym and have now done 2 classes, spin and pump and although am delighted to be back into the gym, it's pretty sad that I have deteriorated to this level. (but none of that, negativity is behind me now).

After reading a tonne of posts and blogs, I have ditched the MFP recommended 1200 calories and upped my calories to 1700 per day. I have been starving myself to obesity. Lets see how that works out.

It is my goal to lose 25kg by next summer (sooner if possible) by eating within my calorie range, doing weights 2-3 times per week and of course the walking.

I am using the iPhone, iPad apps and laptop for message boards and I'll be logging in every day. I'm also keeping a blog and I am DETERMINED to do this the right way this time and not ever see that fat percentage again.

So - if you think that we could motivate one another, by all means read my profile and please feel free to send me a friend request with a short explanation of who you are and lets' do this!!

Yep - happy to have MFP friends to work towards goals together. Based in Port Macquarie and 20k to release. 50+ age group. Self employed full time and on the web .. a lot

Hiya,

Mandy from south Australia. I'm 26 and looking to lose a butt load of weight and get pretty darn fit along the way. I go to the gym, try my hardest to eat clean and take supplements. All of which I am still learning about.

Looking for friends that have an open diary and lots of hints, advice and encouragement. I'm tottally willing to give the same.

Addddss meeeeee! :-)

I'd love some new friends! I'm a newly-wed 26 year old from Sunbury, Victoria and I have about 15kg to lose. I was doing really well until recently, when my wedding and the holiday season saw me undo a lot of my good work, so now my hubby and I need to get back on track! I'd love to meet new people in or near my area, so please add me.

I have been on here forever and a day. The first year was successful, I lost 11kg, last year was a complete bust and I gained nearly all of it back. So I'm here again completely revised and ready to go. Anyone is welcome to add me.

Hi Dom821, I have sent you a friend request

Male, living in Freo area in WA, but originally from the Netherlands, happy to go through my journey together with others. Lost some weight already, but plenty more to go. Going to a gym and keeping my food intake low. However I don't want to be a party pooper either. :-)
