30-Something Aussie Mums

Hi, I'm a 40 something Aussie working mum, feel free to add me for extra support. :happy:

I am in Aussie, WA, 37 years old and have 4 children (12, 11, 6 and 3) and work as a midwife. So busy busy! I started at around 93kg and am currently 74-75kg. I am 1.67 tall. I would like to get to 69kg and maybe push it down to 65kg but lets get to the 69 first!

I am not set at 1200 cal, I am trying to loose weight but also maintain the habit and weight once I get there so I am going slow. It was set at 1580 but now I reached 75 it was set at 1480 but because I found that really difficult I have set it at 1700. I try to work out at least 3-4x per week in the gym and burn about 750-800 cal. I walk a lot at work so I hope that helps too. I might eat back a little bit of calories but generally I try to stay around the 1700. I still have a biscuit once in a while or a glass of wine. There are times I plateau a little bit for a couple of weeks and that can be disheartening but then it goes down again.

Feel welcome to add me!

Hi all, My calorie target is set at 1200 cal. I tend to eat back my calories when I exercise as I seem to get really hungry especially if I've had a hard training session. This way I don't end up starving hungry at the end of the day. It's taken me over a year to lose about 19kgs with about 8 to go. I've done it slowly with lots of little changes along the way. my hardest challenge was cutting out diet coke and coffee as i was a huge drinker of both. I'm only 157cm so my goal is 60kgs. At the moment I'm training for the city to bay in Adelaide which is in 6weeks. It's 12km and my goal is to do it in 90mins. This will be a huge achievement for me as when I started changing my lifestyle I couldn't walk from one end of my kids school to the other without being out of breath. I still have a treat every few days I think I may have finally learnt not to over do it.

It's great having some Aussie mums for support. ( I think my work colleagues are over paying me out for eating my salads everyday which is nice.) I have sent through some requests if you would like to add me. :happy:

43yo ok? Lol. I feel 30ish on a good day or 100 on a bad. Mum of five. Teaching degree too but waylaid by pregnancies! Oldest is 20, youngest is 18mths. To be honest I'm feeling a wee bit slack ATM but hoping it's just the winter blues. Plus I come with a warning..I can swear - alot, depending. And I may whinge occasionally.

In August I will...

Drink at least 1.5lt of water every day.
Go to the gym/gym class 4 times a week.
Try and lose 2 kilos.

Hi there, I'm 34 with a nearly 4 year old son. He's got quite a few health issues, which keeps me busy (and I have periods of emotional eating and consequent weight gain when things are stressful). At the moment things are ok, so really trying to focus on my health and well being. Have about 5-6kg of stubborn post baby fat left to lose. I've been told I need to step it up a notch if I want to see results...thing is I feel like I am working out pretty decently right now! One notable point is that I set my own calories to 1440 a day as I found MFPs 1200 was leaving me feeling hungry and thinking about food all the time. 1440 is slow in terms of weight loss for me, but much more sustainable. Please add me ladies!!! Happy to friend the locals!
