Hi Everyone,

I came across MFP on my iPhone and really, it's an amazing site, and I was more excited to find out they had a website and a forum.

I'm from Melbourne Australia, and recently got married. Before I met my husband I was on the road to losing weight and lost 20kgs (44 pounds) but then I got lazy and put it all back on, and now have a LONG road of weight loss a head of me :( I am lucky my husband is extremely supportive and with this site, I know I will succeed. I need to lose 66.8kgs or 147pounds but I'm confident I can do it with exercise and the help of this site and all olf you :)

Anyway, just thought I would say hi, and look forward to getting to know you all

Cheers

    Welcome to life on MFP :o) It's a really awesome site. When I re-committed to it I had 135lbs to lose... I have since worked off 25lbs. Calorie counting really works, with commitment and consistency will really pay off. Good luck and feel free to add me if you need a buddy through your weight loss!
