Mutual Encourager/Motivator

Hi,
Warning: I frequently comment/post on your achievements (usually positive!, not judging, only friendly nudging balanced with positive stuff IF I see something that worries me). I'm an honest straight-down-the-line, call 'em as I see 'em person (injected with diplomacy!)

At present I'm a frequent logger (everyday), and a frequent poster. However, I will continue to log in every day but as my friend base increases I might not post on Everything like I do now but I will make a strong effort to keep up. Frequently using MFP keeps me engaged to my weight loss goals.

That being said I am open to people critiquing MY diary (I'm not perfect) and I'd love someone to kick my *kitten* if I wasn't logging on (I'm new but eventually some of us may fall of the wagon) by sending a message or two! I would, of course do the same.

So...I'm not a complete newbie. I joined last year but only began back to using MFP just over a month ago.

I'm a 28 year old female with a considerable lot of weight to lose! 40kgs or around 80 lbs. There is more about me on my profile and my photos are fairly recent so yes, if you look at that you will know what I look like in my overweight state!

My story in a nutshell: I have always been a bigger girl after I turned 12 years old (around there), maintained a steady 73kg (around 165lbs?) til university. Then afterwards, working full time, earning more money and being more sociable and started piling on more weight. Then last year I had back problems and developed foot problems so I was a lot less mobile and had a rather stressful job on top of it so last year it Really stacked on.

I'm a fairly happy person - usually described as "bubbly" but don't mistake me for an airhead because I'm too darn analytical and detail oriented for my own good!

So...I would love some more encouragers and motivators and would be most happy to do the same. I don't mind what part of the world you are from (however if you were from Australia that would be even more awesome due to time zones) but we are all here for the mostly the same thing.

So feel free to add me
