    I'm halfway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane in one of the semi-rural leafy bits, originally from the UK but happy in Oz for the last 8 years or so.

    I eat well, extend my walk home from work each day, take the stairs not the lifts, that kind of thing.

    Never been to a gym, not that I'm judging anyone that does, everyone needs their own motivations but I prefer to build exercise into my day.

    Good luck with the fitness goals, keep it sustainable (no fads, no starving) and make it a habit is my best advice for both nutrition and exercise.

    I'm in Adelaide, South Australia, there are alot of other people around Australia on here.
    I goto the gym 5-6 days a week but it's getting harder and harder to burn the same as i get fitter and fitter
    almost 6 months into my weight loss journey (22nd August will be 6 months of calender time)

    Total change of diet and exercise, due to a midlife crisis and being diagnosed with Level 2 Hypertension at critical levels (High Blood Pressure)

    23.3 Kilo's lost, approx 14% body fat lost and an increase to muscle tone and mass. another 10Kilo's and 10% body fat would be awesome

    add me if you like, i'm on here ever day

    I'm week two into my new lifestyle. I have a PT session twice a week and have started walking and riding when I can. I have a 6 year old and a new born so time is scarce but I'm trying my best. Staying under my calorie goals and haven't touched soda or junk since I started. Trying to stay motivated with no support at home so I thought I'd find it here :-)

    Hey there, I'm from Australia as well :) Live in a small town in North Queensland.

    I'm wanting to lose 10kg (lost 2kg so far!) And I do Zumba 6 times a week, plus walks and light weight training :)

    I have a 3 year old daughter, so I take take her with me when I do my exercises, can be a challenge some days though, little ones have a mind all of their own haha.

    Hi, I'm in Adelaide too paulperryman (well south of) on the Fleurieu, feel free to add me. I am a friend of Karenwantsabikini too. She is a great inspirator.

    Hi everyone. I have been doing MFP for a couple of years. Just started eating 5:2. Have a low thyroid so it is hard for me to lose weight. Not on tablets yet. Have a final blood test in 3 months to see how I am after 5:2. Doctor says it would be so much easier if I went on the tablets but I figure the least medications I have surely has to be better ????? After 3 weeks eating this way I have lost 1.8kg all up.

    Wanting to get enthused all over again ....
