Tell us a little bit about YOU?

Hi Karen My name is Christina but people call me Beeny and I'm from Western Australia, I'm 28 and happily married with 3 precious babies age 5, 4 and 6 months. I'm currently a size 12 and was a size 14 so far I have lost 5kg (11lb) My original weight was 74kg and my goal is 60kg I'm currently 69kg and having trouble getting it any lower.

Not to rub it in but I'm 5ft 10
(My pre baby weight was 58kg)

Good luck in loosing the last 30 and congrats on the 28lb loss.

Hi, I'm Lally, I live in Switzerland (it is snowing heavily today!) I have 4 daughters, sophie is 4 years old and we have triplets, Elizabeth, Kate and Charlotte who just turned 3. We have live in a traditional swiss chalet which is feeling a bit draughty today and so we are carving pumpkins with friends. I'm having my photo taken with the pumpkins in the knowledge that next year I will look less like one!
Im on MFP to lose 106lbs (boom! what a number!) and to discover the real me under all of this emotional and excess baggage!
I'm planning to learn to ski this year so my first goal is to get below 100kg because I refuse to go and get measured for skiis weighing anything more!

I'm Matilda, single mum to Kayla & Miles (hence mmk).

I'm a part time photographer (as my kids aren't in school yet, so I'm a stay at home mum).

I love baking, which makes it really hard to loose weight, but i'm slowly learning to find alternatives or modifying recipes.

Live in country victoria (aus).

my push goal is to get to 65k, I'm currently at 73.6. (lower than when I got pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago).

if you need buddies, feel free to add.

Interesting people on here, I noticed a lot of people on MFP having children on such a young age...damn how I wish I was a father already!!

Haha I'm so opposite! I don't want kids for another 10 years or so, unlike my two sisters who had 3 babies before they were 21... :noway:

Hi all, I'm 40 years old and I'm originally from the US but I have been living in a rural town in Queensland Australia for some 12 years now.

I'm the mother of 4 boys (with only one living at home full time now) and they are 26, 20, 16 and 10 (the eldest is my husbands step son from his first marriage)

I also had kids very young (20, 23 & 30 (30's not so young)) but with the 16 year old leaving home to pursue a NRL career I think it's time for me to start focusing on myself a little more and taking care of me.

I'm hoping to make friends who are not exercise savvy but would like to be come exercise savvy too. I'm hoping to make friends here.

So much to say, so little knowledge of where to start! LOL

Hi guys,

Im Brooke and Im originally a Tasmanian, but now I live in Canberra - (the capital of Australia). I turn 30 in 4 more sleeps!!! I dont have kids, just 2 fur babies - my gorgeous dogs I have the best boyfriend and between the two of us, we've nearly lost 40kgs!!

I LOVE to travel. I am off to Samoa for my birthday, Bali for Christmas and next year my big trip is going to be Isreal and Jordan. I work for the Australian Government in education, however Im also a nursing student at University. I hate the cold weather, which makes living here in Canberra so hard - but I am looking forward to moving somewhere warm and glorious in a few years. I love animals and Im a bit of a lobbiest for animal rights - mainly live exports and puppy farms.

Ive just gotten back into running, which I love. I also love the geeky toys that go with it (my GPS watch and Spibelt lol). I love Body Balance and Pump classes at the gym. I hope to run a 10km race in April next year as part of the Canberra Running Festival.

I love MFP and so glad I found it. I am a new person because of it!

Hi all, I'm Andie and I live in Sunderland in the North East of England.. its a bit cold up here, this time of year. I'm a 38 (almost 39, yikes!) year old mother of a gorgeous 4 year old boy and 2 year old girl and am currently trying to lose about 12lbs having already lost a couple before I joined MFP.

I too love baking and all things naughty to eat so I like to allow myself treats within my allowance to help me keep on track. I do enjoy swimming and doing zumba and boxing on my wii, but I find it hard getting time to myself to do this, also working part-time at our local College.

I've only been on this site for just over a week, but love the fact I am making so many friends from all over the world who are sharing similar journeys.

Feel free to add me anyone :happy:

I'm Corrie ,35 years old, live in Buffalo NY but grew up in Canada. I have 2 biological children and 3 step children. My boys are 17 and 14 (alex and brendon) my 3 step kids are Alyssa 14 Madysen 10 Emily 8. I was not overweight until 5 years ago and then it started to pack on. My goal is to be 130 # and I am working really hard to get there but it's coming slow and steady (I suppose thats the best way)

Nice to meet all of you!!

Hi my name is Lisa I am 32, 33 next month and I am a mummy of two beautiful children Caitlin and Harrison and I have been happily married for 11yrs. I live in Liverpool UK and I work full time in paediatrics for a medical nutrition company.

I am wanting to lose weight and get fit because I am sick of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I have always been slim around 7st 12lbs but over the years it has creeped on due to sheer laziness on my part. My husband is a fitness freak who is totally dedicated to keeping fit and being healthy so having to look at him beside me is motivating me to get my act together and loose the lbs.

Been on MFP now for 3 weeks and lost 12lbs and have been excercising everyday so I am hoping this is the start of the new me who no longer feels inadequate next to my buff hubby.

woops. sorry - meant to respond privately.....
