I am aiming to hit my goal weight by Feb, and will then stay on to maintain and hard wire those eating habits into my brain :P

Gemma from Hobart checking in. Not really here for the weight loss anymore but really focused on fitness and body comp. I play Aussie Rules so need to be in good shape. Mostly lifting and sprinting at the moment until pre-season starts. Feel free to add me if your goals are similar or if you play sport

Hello all, been here quietly logging for about 2 months now more or less, but not active on forums. Need to lose 6-8kg still as a result of having piled on weight when got pregnant and not being able to lose it. Got to the point where after 2.5 years I decided I'd had enough and a friend pointed me onto this and it's really helping! Lost 1kg so far. Doing gym during lunch break at work 4x per week (boxing x2, pumpx1 and circuitx1) I only work 4 days so yeah, the other 3 if I get a chance I do something, if not, at least a walk pushing a stroller or carrying 13kg worth of daughter is always on the books!

I used to be very fit due to practicing capoeira for about 8 years, so I want to get back to that level of fitness. Not too fussed on being skinny or whatever, just fit and strong and without all the extra wobbly bits particularly around the gut area! Will do capoeira again as soon as circumstances allow it...

Also love cooking and eating so hope to be able to go back to eating again once I reach my goal weight!

Newbie here! Hopefully no one will judge me as one of the resolutioners

I am a 35 year old geeky mum to one and wife to one. I live in the Eastern (?) suburbs of Melbourne. I have only lived here for 6 months, am from Perth via Scotland. All my good friends are in Perth, but I am working hard to build a new life here. I am about to start studying again and trying to get back into the world outside of the Wiggles and Bananas in Pyjamas.

My husband and I are working on building a healthy lifestyle rather than focusing on the weight loss. Our end goal is to be able to be more active and curb my emotional eating problem.

If you're a fellow geeky mum, or just someone who is keen to support another emotional eater, give me a friend request!

I'm here and planning to stay active.

Aussie here! F, 22, 5"7 from Sydney.

I believe in moderation, not restriction (mostly), and hope to drop to about 60kg and start bulking (currently back up around 64kg after Xmas season....). I am doing my best to be GF this year and avoid all alcohol, except for the occasional red wine. Don't need the grog and gluten makes me lethargic as well. So my diary will be full of random baked GF goodies and soon lots of ethnic food as I get some travelling in

Nice to meet ya'll!

Like my weight, I've been on again off again. Currently back up 8 of the 25 I lost.
Live on the Gold Coast, mainly walk on the beach and ride my bike.

Hi, I'm from WA. I've been active on here for almost a year, my diary is open and I log daily. Anyone can feel free to add me if they want.

hey all, Candice here, 25 year old girl from Melbourne's West

and one of her many MFP friends here too, due to be 41yrs old on Februrary 24th from Adelaide, Sth Aus. been on MFP since February coming up on 1year of my weight loss journey started back on February 22nd, initial goal was 80kgs down from 111Kgs and critical blood pressure in check, corrected the blood pressure 6 months ago and reached 80kgs (31Kgs lost) a few months ago and have been on relative maintenance since still need to lose some body fat i think or atleast tone up all the excess skin.

I haven't missed a logged day since i joined, i'm not as posty as i use to be and not as anal about my food habits or being accurate on logged food but i no longer need to be, all is well on that front

Hi Andy from Perth here, been on MFP for a while but first time blogger... Fitbitter too... turning big 5 0 this year and want to be the lightest I've been for 20 of those years..
Got to 118 kg and decided enough was enough and started biking, got down to 110... then started new FIFO job with a company fitness scheme and got down to 97 kg for a holiday to visit the family in the UK in October last year. Alas the weight slowly crept back on as my job kept changing location.. came to a head before Xmas when I realised I had put on 6kg in 6 weeks while away in Abu Dhabi.
So now back on the wagon. New starting weight of 109 kg, and target of 90kg to begin with. Using FitBit and a bit of accountability should make good progress even allowing for my month away when I have no control of the food that is prepared for me... will just have to exercise self control and log it as best I can.

Hi All! I'm Donna, I'm 29 and live in Sydney (Inner-West).

I'm officially at my heaviest now, at 75kgs (I'm 160cm tall). I realise 75kgs is not enormous, in the grand scheme, but let me add that it's an unhealthy 75kg. It's mostly fat with a little bit of bone, really And honestly, it's bigger than I'm comfortable being. But I also don't want to be as skinny as I was as a teenager - at 20 years old I weighed 39kg despite being a contender for Miss McDonalds and KFC Australia (bless that youthful metabolism). Skinny is not what I want either - I like my curves (just not the really big one on my stomach :laugh:

Effectively I want to be slimmer, but without losing my rack My goal for 2014 is not only to lose the weight I want to lose (15-20 kilos) but I also want to be fitter, and healthier, and stronger. I don't want to be tired all the time, mostly

I'm disappointed with myself because I told myself last year I'd be at my goal weight for my 30th birthday. Said 30th is in four weeks and I doubt I'll knock 15-20 kilos off in that time

I don't always log meals or exercise or count calories, and I try to stick to an 80/20 kind of system. I'm more focused on eating well and moving my body more in general, not counting every calorie in and out and logging every move and every bite. I do log meals occasionally, and I do wear a HRM when I exercise (much as actual calories aren't my focus, I do like seeing the number of calories burned :happy: ).

I've been on and off MFP for years, sometimes more active than other times, but I think that it's a great way to keep me motivated and accountable. I'm a junk food lover and lazy as all giddy-up so a terrible exerciser With all that in mind, 2014 is the year I stop saying I'm going to do it, and actually do it! I'm starting slow, focusing more on shifting to a healthier lifestyle than a full blown regime, and having people to chat to will be really helpful I think!

Happy to add or be added, I think it's great for us to shoot encouragement to each other!

Hi there, I've been on MFP for the past couple of years. I have had a couple of breaks from logging etc. Just getting back into it again as I haven't logged since last October. I think I just got too caught up in counting calories and macros and was too strict on myself. At one stage the kitchen scales nearly went through the kitchen window.....

I was down to pretty much my goal for the past couple of years, but I must admit that I have gained about 5kg's, I feel so horrible and don't fit into my clothes anymore. I'm currently 62kg (I'm 158cm - that's 5' 3" I think) and I want to get down to somewhere around 53-56kg's depending on muscle mass etc. I'll judge the final number as I go.

I live on the Mid North Coast of NSW (about 45 minutes south of Coffs Harbour), I'm 40 years old and love my gym equipment, hiking, paddling and general outdoorsy stuff. Married with 2 kids (17 & 15). I'm also entering the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic in October this year (111km paddle).

Happy for friend requests. :happy:

Recently returned MFPer. Live in country Victoria. Have lost 6.5kg. Currently sitting on 69kg and would like to aim for below 63kg (which would put me in the healthy weight range)
