Hi I’m Dee!

I’m days off turning 40, a single mummy to a gorgeous toddler from Adelaide, South Australia.

I’ve been overweight since I was a child and have been on many diets over the decades.

I am determined to make 2013 The Year of Me and lose the last 15-20 kgs. I am currently 103kg, down 14 odd kilos since I became a mummy 18 months ago.

I usually use my iphone for internet and MFP. I’m seeking some buddies to connect with, encourage each other etc via the News Feed. As you can see, I haven’t posted much on the forums.

My philosophy to health and weight loss is:
-healthy lifestyle changes, not ‘dieting’
-I didn’t put it on overnight and it’s not going to come off overnight
-eat real foods, not shakes or magic pills and potions
-moderation, not elimination. Live, enjoy.
-move more. I wear a FitBit One to measure my movements
-weight loss doesn’t have to happen every week, as long as the number goes down monthly. My weekly weight loss graph isn’t a ski ramp, it’s a mountain range with shrinking mountains :)

I also run “Motivations and quotes for weight loss” on Facebook.

My goal is to lose 2-5kgs a month.

On April 8th, I’m starting a 28 day challenge to lose 4% of my body weight, or about 4kg. You are welcome to join me in my challenge at http://www.dietbet.com/games/11727

Please send me a friend request and we can help each other. I look forward to hearing from you

Dee xx

    I have about the same to lose, with an added 20lbs lol! I started off at 211lbs and right now I am at 194lbs. My goal weight is between 140-150lbs and I plan on getting there before Autumn (UK). I know it's not going to be easy but I'm working my butt off, literally, to see this happen.

    Oh, this is my heaviest! I've always weighed between 50-55kgs. Feel free to add me, I need the motivation as well...

    Hi Dee,
    I need to lose 30 lbs but I'm happy with losing 20lbs, I have already lost 2 lbs this week, since starting on Monday. If I can keep this up in 10 weeks I'll be 20 lbs lighter that's my goal.
    I live in Ottawa, Canada, I'm married and have 3 children in university (all living at home). I need all the motivation I can get, and I will help you get to your goal weight too!!

    Happy Easter,
    Carol

    Adding you. I have the same thoughts on weight loss. Nice to know I'm not the only one with mountains. I started out at 210 lbs and now weigh 196. I'm looking to be around 150lbs. Anybody else here feel free to add me as well.

    I'd also like to join your weight loss group. i would like to lose 30 pounds over the next year. I have PCOS so it makes it difficult to lose the weight and it would just be nice to have some support.
