Hi there everyone :)

I noticed that a lot of the people who post here are from America so just thought I'd post and see how many Aussie guys and girls are out there?

I joined MFP in February this year and love it!!! I have recently recruited some colleagues at work to the app and they love it too and I'm loving having 'friends' on here :) The encouragement and support is so great to have!

If there are any others out there (not just aussies) who would like some more MFP mates then be sure to add me :)

Have a great day :)

    Hi! I live in Australia too. Although I am not Australian, I am American. I am proud to call Australia home now :)

    I will send over a friend request, its nice having more friends on the same time zone as me!

    Congrats on your weight loss so far 10 kilos since Feb that is quite impressive!

    Thanks hun :)

    I started losing weight around November last year (by joining the gym and doing Lite n Easy) and then in Feb I joined MFT after losing around 5 kilos :) So I can't credit MFP to the full 10kgs but I'm most proud of the weight I've lost on MFP cause I did it myself :)

    Great job on the 15 pounds also! (I get so confused with pounds so I'm always converting into kilos lol)

    Thanks!

    I started a couple weeks before joing on MFP. A friend back in the states told me about this website. I have been checking in here religiously everyday since February! I lost a bit before starting too. So I have really lost 20 pounds.....or 9 kilos :) Don't worry I can do the conversions for you. I am now well versed in calories vs kilojoules, pounds vs kilos, grams vs ounces & Celsius vs Fahrenheit! LOL :laugh:

    Hi all, I'm new-ish to the site.

    I'm looking for some friends as I really like the wall feature of MFP and bow friends can encourage each other with comments etc. I'm from Western Sydney and need to shed 10 kilo's. I'm a bit of a "been there, done that" sort of dieter and really need to focus on just staying "there"!

    I'm not sure how it all works, but message me if anyone is interested in a new friend!

    :) Jo

    Hi, I'm from the beautiful Gold Coast I've been doing this since early March I think and have lost around 5/6 kilo's. I've had a few hiccups though, an internal battle of wills. I love aussie connetions and also any other friendly folk.
