Hi Everyone,
I live in Melbourne, have 4 kids and a Labrador called Chuck Norris. I also have a wife of course, she is supportive and great and if she ever reads this, she is also bloody gorgeous in a super model kind way.

I have been a member for a while, and have successfully lost heaps of weight in the past, but through negligence and mismanagement I have put on a whole bunch of weight.

I find myself once again turning to MFP to help me track my progress. This is day three for me, I thought I would say hi.

I have about 35kg to loose, and I dont want to fluff about doing it slowly... so Maximum effort.

I am particularly interested in making some friends who are parents with kids, as I feel this offers some unique challenges. So, if that is you, feel free to friend me.

    Hey :) I'm also from Melbourne (I haven't seen any fellow Melbournites on here before!).

    I also have 4 children (along with a part time job - I also go to Uni) so I understand your challenges for sure. I have another 90kg to lose (I've already lost 60kg odd) and I use MFP to track every day. I'm also at the gym at least 4 times a week.

    I'll send you a friend request :)

    Well bugger. I’m not from Melbourne like you two but I’m an Aussie. I’m up in qld. 3 kids. I work full time as a nurse at a high needs nursing home and I’ve got about 25 ish kilos to lose. I’ve been fluffing around for ages and yep it’s time to put my head down bum up and work hard. I’ll add the both of you :smiley:

    Hi guys. Working hard, raising kids and eating right is a challenge huh... specially when you are trying to convince them to eat something the dont like and you are eating something else :)

    Part of the reason why I am on here is that my 3 year old daughter is quite mean in her drawings.... all the rest of the family get drawn as sticks... but I get drawn as a circle! haha.

    It’s ok. My 5 year old regularly tells me I’m too fat to go down the slide at the playground lol.
