in Introduce Yourself
Hello

My name is Noelene. I have just downloaded the iPhone app and will be using it starting Monday. I am 48 years old, live on the edge of the Sydney/Hawkesbury area in Australia, and have around 10kg to lose to get to the top of the healthy weight range for my height.

I would love to have a few weight loss buddies for mutual support on the journey to goal. If you would also like this, please feel free to make a friendship request. I am not sure how often I will get to check in on the website here, however, I will be using the iPhone app daily. I look forward to meeting you.

Regards
Noelene

    Welcome. I am also 48 and recently joined MFP. I have about 30 lbs to lose. Used to live in Australia as a child - in Toowoomba about 80kms inland from Brisbane. I often wonder how my life would have turned out if my family had stayed in Australia.
    Good luck on your journey and feel free to friend me.

    I'm not sure if the iPhone app will let you check in with messages/friends...you may have to come to the main site in order to do that. (I know the app for Android doesn't have this ability)

    Hi I;m in Worcester UK. I also have to lose some weight to get me into the healthy area of BMI. Finding this site is invaluable for bringing me back down to earth on calorie counts. Before coming here I would think I was eating healthily and be disappointed that the scales kept going up. I have been motivated to write down everything and to limit portion sizes but as I cannot do too much strenuous exercise I know this is gonna be a long journey so would appreciate having friends along the way.

    Hi My name is Suzanne. I live in Northern California. I am 61 years old. I am 5'7" and I weigh 189 pounds. My husband and I both lost 25 pounds two years ago and over time I have managed to put every pound of it back on. So here I am trying to get back to at least 164. I recently went from working full time to working two days a week and I would love the support of others (I know that is a two-way street) to help meet my goals.
