Queenslander here with only a few kilos to go but my motivation comes and goes. I was at goal Christmas before last so want to get back down to 54 or 55kgs.

Hi I'm 32 and live in Adelaide, 169cm and 89kg when I joined MFP last month. I'm a Mum to three girls and work part-time shift work

As a teenager I was overweight but then lost weight and maintained at about 70kg in my early twenties until I had my first daughter. Since having my eldest my weight has bounced up and down and I have lost the same 15+kg a number of times for various goals including getting back to pre baby weight , losing weight before another pregnancy and losing weight for our wedding. This time it's taken me longer to get in the right Mindset as my goal is very different from my previous achievements and failures.

My major goal

Is to get healthy, maintain a weight between 67-72kg and improve my fitness for life

My current stepping stone goals are

- Exercise a minimum of 3x a week for 30 min
- Log in to MFP daily
- get my BF % below 30%
- lose the first 10kg by July

failures.

I'm doing this slowly and making small lifestyle changes that I hope will be sustainable. I like to have a drink and some chocolate and I'm finding ways to include them in a more balanced diet.

I'd like to have some online Aussie MFP friends so feel free to send me a request

I'm back. Had some success when I first started, then went through a challenging period and gained it all back plus some. Decided it was time to do something for me, so I got myself a puppy and started getting back into my old interests. Then realised...HOLY CRAP...I'm neither as small nor as fit as i once was. So have made it a comittment to get fit and healthy for the bloddy dog. LOL.

Oh...and trying to avoid those that are trigger points for me....easier said than done. *sigh*

I'm in Adelaide.

I'm here. I'm here.
I've been around a little while had success lost 12 kg and then put 3kg back on and hovered ever since.
Trying desperatly to get back into it. I live in South East Melb.

Been on MFP a while but just joined this group. Yay finally found the Aussies! Going to be here a while, I have 48kg to lose.

I'm from North West Melbourne.

I'm Dani, I've been on here a while, I'm in Canberra and I'm getting married in 81 days! I wouldn't mind going down a size before then! I also have a fitbit, usernames the same, add me over there too

Hi Aussie Friends

I am back on MFP after neglecting it during the last few months of 2013.

I am from Sydney, NSW and i am working on building muscle and losing fat after I gained a lot of weight during the Christmas Period!

Feel free to add me! Good luck in your journey!

Hi every Aussie,

Using MFP and a fitbit flex, still trying to master both though.
Working my way through C25K in an effort to get fit too.

Morning all,

Started MFP a little over a month ago and I must say it was quite an eye opener ! Hard to believe the amount of fat & sugar hidden in what I perceived as "healthy" foods :-(

I've done a fair bit of tweaking to my diet since joining but it's a work in progress, will need to keep fine tuning it over time. My goal is simple (yet difficult at times): Eating healthier foods without feeling like I'm "punishing" myself day after day...if it feels like punishment, I won't stick to it !

Cheers,

Nat

I've been here on MFP since around October last year.
I recently ( about a month ago) commenced exercise after a knee injury - I'm swimming and loving it.
I'm living in Tassie.
