in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,
I am, yet again, using the New Year as a time to get seious about my weight. I need to lose 51kg! I was on MFP a few years ago and had good success, but like everything else I have ever tried, I gave up due to stress and emotional eating. I am a single mum to two gorgeous children, 12 and 9, and run my own business, so life is hectic!
At this stage, I am not aiming to do anything too complicated, other than to stay within my calories and go for a walk 4 times per week.
Is there anyone else out there with a lot to lose? I am thinking that, realistically, it might take me up to 2 years.
Feel free to add me and good luck!

    Hi! I'm in Australia too - Adelaide Hills. Hubby gave me a Fitbit for Christmas so I'm using MFP in conjunction with the Fitbit for motivation and accountability. I need to lose at least 20 kg. I understand the difficulty of sticking with a program - I'm a self employed chef with two kids and work long hours. I also have an autoimmune disease which makes me really tired so I have to work very hard on motivating myself to exercise. My 13 year old daughter is walking with me so that's a great help.
    Are you happy if I add you?

    nicoiam69, absolutely! My kids like to exercise with me too, which is helpful. I find it hard in this ridiculous heat though.

    Hi, I am in Melbourne and have 20 kg to lose. I have sent random friend invites to various people in this thread. I have done this a couple of times before, and started off really well then lost it! I hope to be more consistent this time.
