Hey joined recently and I'm not sure how to get started, how about some fellow weightloss buddies? Even better: fellow kiwis! Am 168cm and approx 95kg, aiming for 66-70kg and healthy insides :tongue:

    Hi Sakkeil,

    I'm Canadian and working with metric too. I'm the same height, same target, just a little further along the line at around 80kg rough now. I live in the UK so have to deal with people talking about weight in terms of "stones", how antiquated can you get!?!? Will send you a friend request.

    Hello! I, too, am a New Zealander and I am metric friendly, although my MFP is set to pounds/feet. I am 155 cm and ~46kg. Feel free to add me :]

    I too am a NZ er & prefer the metric way ... I can't work out my weight in pounds :) I am in my mid-50's & have about 30 kg to lose, just starting out, or should that say, just re-starting my battle.
    Please link me to your friends for moral support as we head into this challenge, thanks

    Hiya. I'm a NZer living in Oz (like practically half the population, right? ;D) Fully conversant with metric and getting the hang of lbs - just don't ask me to work out stones!

    I'm a smidge taller than you and still way heavier. I've lost 29.2kg so far and I want to lose another 45kg or so (sadly yes, I was that heavy. But no longer!). I log in every day and I'm moving steadily down that scale. I've found having friends on here to be really fantastic, so feel free to add me :)

    Hello, I'm from the Czech republic, 173cm, weight 78kg, aiming for 65kg. I started Jillian Michaels 6 week six pack about a week ago. I love this exercise, it is only 35minutes, it's hard, but it gives me energy and strenght. I like cycling and inline skating too. I have 4 kids, last two are 3years old twins, thus I'm having a lot of to do and it is difficult to find some time for other activities....
