Hi,

My name is Lisa. I'm searching for some motivational friends to help me with my challenge. Someone who also measures in kgs would be helpful. Pounds mean nothing to me. I have to keep getting out a calulator lol

I'm a full time mum of two small children, who I adore beyond all measure. I also work graveyard shifts on the weekends (while my hubby watches the kids). So i'm finding it tricky to stick to a weight loss goal, and I think I'd have a better chance if I had a friend base.

Please add me as a friend or ask to be added if you're interested.

    Hi Lisa! I'm an Aussie (Perth). I don't have kids but feel free to add me anyway if you like, the more friends the merrier :drinker:
    P.S. I know what you mean with the pounds thing... they mean nothing to me either. Maths = too hard basket!

    Hey Lisa!

    I'm not an Aussie (Canadian) but currently living here! (Canberra)
    You can add me as a friend if you'd like! I'm able to measure in KG and Pounds hehe!

    But totally get what you mean! It was hard for me at first to understand KGs!! I think I like them better than Pounds!

    Another Perthie here :)

    Feel free to add me if you like. I don't have kids either but my partner does.
    I use this awesome site to do all my conversions from pounds to kg and kilojoules to calories

    Hi Lisa, I'm Bet from Adelaide. New to MFP also. Can also visualise and think in kgs and lbs as the changeover occurred while I was at primary school (so you know I am a tad older!) I work on call/ shift work, so can relate to your graveyard shift comment. No children, but a partner who has never had weight issues and doesn't think anyone else should either! Look forward to getting to know some people in these message boards for mutual support. Cheers
