in Introduce Yourself
Hi

Thought I'd introduce myself after a week on the site. I'm living in Melbourne Australia even though I originally come from the UK.

I'm looking to lose a total of 19kg and managed to drop around 1.5kg last week. Not sure I'll be able to sustain that weightloss every week but who know's!! Having no problem counting the calories, in fact some days I'm struggling to actually hit the target after I take into account the exercise I'm doing. I think my diary is public so anyone is welcome to comment on what I should be adding to my diet.

I like to run and try and do a few 5Km runs a week. I'm also doing a bootcamp for the next two weeks to hopefully jumpstart my fitness.

Anyway, looking forward to watching that weight and belly disappear !

Aidan

    Welcome Aiden from Down Under,
    Me I am a Florida Girl...my husband lived in Australia for a bit...myfitnesspal is a great daily reminder to watch the calories. But, you are right, doing the daily exercise, it is easy to stay under.
    Best of Luck to you in your Goals!

    Hi Melissa,

    We're all heading over to Orlando in December for a holiday. I'm a bit worried about straying from my calorie watch whilst trekking around the theme parks! Any tips?
