Hi, I am from New Zealand. I have been doing MFP coming up two weeks. A friend of mine put me onto it and I can't believe how motivating it is to be able to log everything and make sure you stay under the calorie count and do your daily exercise. It's also a huge buzz when you log things in and realise you have done OVER your daily goals {exercise wise}.

What a fantastic tool!!! I have a huge goal and that is to lose up to 60kg! I have done it before and I definitly know I can do it again. I have my motivation and drive back and it feels FANTASTIC!

Today, on a whim, I registered to do a duathlon and in all honesty I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!! I know I can achieve it but cycling 10km and then expecting my body to walk afterwards is going to be a huge challenge. But I can and WILL do it.

So that's me a woman from a wee country way down under with HUGE goals and with MFPs help to get me towards them.
