    Hi and welcome.

    Have a mooch around the forums and see if you can find others with similar goals or interests as yourself then shoot them a friend request (it can help to include a quick message as to why you would like to be friends) Also, if you have specific interests you can use the search button just above your post to look for things that interest you...in your case try searching for "NZ" or "Kiwi" I have seen a fair few around

    Good luck

    Hi there. Whereabouts? I'm on the Shore and love swimming myself. I'm in health promotion so there's some common ground there too. :happy:

    Hey there!

    Im in Canberra but my brother lives in Auckland! Im waiting for registrations to open next month for the Auckland marathon - cos I'm coming over (for the half)!!!

    Im a nursing student and have huge admiration for those working in mental health. I enjoy swimming - try to do it once a week, and my dog is my walking buddy too.

    Good luck with your journey! It is doable, and MFP does work! I've lost almost 30kgs, and have another 4 or 5 to go.

    I'm in Chch and happy to help you along the way, I have no Kiwi MFP friends so makes it hard sometimes when people only log on when your asleep and you need someone to give you a kick up the butt :)
