in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, this is my second week and I like it! I joined so I could use on my iphone was using CalorieKing Aust but they dont have a mobile app so decided to check this out! I find planning ahead and logging BEFORE I eat motivates me to eat only what I have logged. I am looking for some friends to add to my list - I have none :sad:
Would love to share the experience with someone as my friends and family really dont do a good job of supporting me!
I am a 40 year old Mum from Canberra, Australia have about 30kg to lose till I am the "recommended" ideal weight.
I am hoping that an August trip to Bali will give me some motivation to try and look better in a cossie!
Would love to hear from some lovely ladies with similar goals so we can motivate eachother and am really interested in sharing recipes! :happy:
Look forward to hearing from you!

    Hi There,

    I'm new too - downloaded the app last week on my new IPhone.

    I lost about 5 stone last year on my own and then nothing for about 6 months, in fact probably put 1/2 stone back on. I've stepped up the excercise with running 3 or 4 times per week. Did a 5k charity run last week no problems and have a half marathon lined up in June. I already Kayak so am fairly active apart from my job which keeps me desk bound most of the day.

    I Really need to lose about another stone as according to my BMI at 26 I'm still overweight. I am diabetic too so this brings added complication as I have to keep eating to keep my Blood sugars constant.

    Since starting the running, I'm really hungry sometimes, maybe when my Blood sugars drop too much but the top and bottom of it is I appear to be eating like a pig during the evenings. The day is not a problem but its when the kids are in bed, all chores done and telly goes on.

    Anyway,

    The App is great and I'm hoping we can support each other on the forum,
    Carl

    Hi
    I've just started on this site, down loaded the app several weeks ago but never got going. I'm not sure how you add friends but would like to meet people on here to keep motivated. I'm in the UK as well & approaching 40, really want to loose 2 stone by October but not sure I have the willpower :( Look forward to hearing from you & other members x
