Hi Folks Just About To Hit 6 Week Anniversary. Need To Be here. Have A Lot To Lose And A Lot Of Fitness To Gain. Starting to add weight training and cardio to my healthier lifestyle. Feel Free To Add Me.

New to the group! Have tried MFP before, worked great until I gave up on it

Time to start over - perfect timing with the new year looming!
I'm 27, from outer Sydney, 153cm and 70kg. Goal weight of <60kg.
Also focusing on fitness, earlier this year I was able to get out 50 push ups, I'm back to 20 now and want to get back to that 50. I could also run 5km, and now can only do around 1! Time to get back on that horse
I'd love to go into the police force (either QLD, NSW or VIC) so I really do need to get this back under control.

Feel free to add me, always love more people to encourage and be encouraged by!

Present and ready to be held accountable.

Have had an up and down journey over the past two years on here and am currently disappointed at putting some weight back on in the back half of 2013. Need to get my focus back on and any interested Aussies please feel free to add me. The plan is to be on here daily again.

Good idea!!

I am present and accounted for. Been having a bit of a week off, but back on track (more or less) today and will be back in full swing next week.

For any newbies, I am 45, live in Sydney, at goal weight but will still be here in 2014 to continue to improve my physique and fitness goals. I lift weights 4 times per week, do a bit of cardio, not much though apart from walking. I log on every day, drink alcohol, have almost eaten my body weight in chocolate over the last 4 days but usually believe protein is king when it comes to macros.

Feel free to add me if you like, but please send a message saying that you found me here thanks and welcome newbies to MFP. If you make a plan and focus on your goals, you can and will achieve them!

Exactly this, except I am 47 and live West of Sydney, and I prefer cappuccino :-)

Been logging in for 723 days and counting. 2014 will be more of a settled year compared to 2013 when we moved back to Melbourne after living in Toronto, Canada for 2.5 years. Also changed the direction of my career which was working hands on in the hotel industry to sitting in front a computer as the national catering manager of a large city based firm.

I have rides and runs that I want to compete in so this year is a total fitness year and getting back down to the 80 odd kg mark.

Live in the south eastern suburbs and work in the city. Do a bit of traveling around the country, happy to meet up when I get into the Perth, Brisbane, Sydney or Canberra

I'm still here and around. 2 year anniversary is australia day (consecutive logging, I went on holidays overseas my streak reset )

My plans for 2014 is to:
> run 1000km
> finish a tough mudder with my mum
> complete a spartan race with less than 1 penalty
> run a sub 1h45 half marathon
> build up my strength (again, I let myself go with the weights)

Here and accounted for, time for me to pull in the reins and be accountable again after regaining 6 kilo. Maintenance is really tough lol, I love living like I was 20 but the joints and the metabolism just don like it like i do, My feet hurt again, big time even though I eat as cleanly as possible, so I've not been able to do my 2 km walk with Titch every day. Now it's around the block. On a positive note I still jump around the pool in aquatic classes and this year I intend on mastering the freestyle swimming technic with goggles warn as I think that will help me stay at it. That's the goal!

I'm here... been on and off throughout 2013. Hoping to be a regular on here again this year. Need to lose a bit and track food.

Live Brisbane Southside and always looking for friends and words of encouragement.

I'm still here, started of really well last year, but come towards the end of the year fell of the wagon big time. I'm planning to stick to it this year, have a Wedding to go to later in the year.

Feel free to add me

I took a break in December (logging was getting tedious and wasn't really being very supportive to anybody on here) but back on track. Basically, didn't lose any weight but between lifting, exercise and maintaining a decent diet (excessive snacking probably didn't help though) I'm pretty pleased.

Looking to lose another 9kg, hopefully by July and then I'll see about either coming off keto (transition into paleo) or just stick with keto. Probably depend on blood work I want to get done around this time

Other than that, want to start working on building a good core (Starting Strength/StrongLifts have been good but I think either I have crap form or my core is currently holding me back from increasing weight), work on adding body weight work (handstand pushups and planks so far!), maybe incorporate yoga twice a week and generally be more active (instead of spending most afternoons/evenings at home in front of the computer!)... I'd like to take up running or group sports but too many knee/ankle injuries to make it a good idea. So if anybody has suggestions...
