Hi All!

I downloaded the MFP app for my iPod last week and thought it was about time I checked in online. I'm from Victoria, Australia, and I have been obese for as long as I can remember. I have lost weight in the past then put it all back on (and then some!) I am so glad I have found this site and the app, because it's been allowing myself to be accountable for everything that passes my lips.

My ultimate aim is to loose 50kg, but I'm breaking that up into 5kg mini-goals and I have already lost 1kg this week!

Feel free to add me as a friend - I love seeing other people's success stories and hope that I can become one myself someday :)

    welcome and good luck!! MFP is a great source of information, support and motivation! And yes it does make you accountable for what you eat! The scale will reward you from that accountability!

    Take one day at a time and remember:

    FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!

    Welcome to MFP! Sending a friend request now!

    I'm in Perth, WA. I'm originally from the UK, but moved over here at the beginning of 2009 and I too have always struggled with my weight. When I moved over here, I weighed 13st 3lbs (84kg), but since joining MFP March 2010, I have lost 46lbs and have the start of a 'six-pack'!!! I've gone from a size UK16 (XL) down to a size UK10 (S). I couldn't have done it without everyone's support on here! I've failed every time before now - so make as many friends as you can on here - they are invaluable!!!

    Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Take a look at my pics to see the changes I've made so far :o)
