in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, I started back on MFP a week or so go. This time I thought I'd try the community and friends thing and I'm finding the encouragement and advise super useful. Currently it has taken over my facebook addiction :noway:

I would like some friends with similar time zones. I have some brilliant new friends but I find I'm commenting on their posts 10 or so hours later and thought perhaps some local buddies would be great.

Ps would also love some more friends who have lots to lose too from anywhere :happy:

    Hi! I'm not new to the Gold Coast but I recently got back into training to loose weight and meet new people. I got a personal trainer to help me out 3 times a week at a gym but I'm looking for friends to play sports with or simply do active activities (not watching movies etc). I live in Surfers Paradise and go for a walk at nights and mornings (and try to fit in a swim in the ocean mornings). Hope to hear from you soon! Luke
