    Hi Im Lisa Im 25 from Auckland, had my first baby boy in November 2010. I put on over 25kg during pregnancy (I stopped weighing myself after that) due to massive swelling from pre-eclampsia, big baby and also a bit of over indulgence hehe. I dropped a fair amount of the weight after having bub and was left with 10kg to lose, have since lost 5kg since joining myfitnesspal in March though I have had periods of time where Ive gone a bit off track and not used it. I have got 5kg to get to pre preg but would like to get to my wedding weight which is 7kg from where I am now. But pre-preg is ok with me hehe as it's good BMI etc. I wanted to reach it by my sons birthday November 20 but Im not sure I will, but I'll be happy with getting as close as possible. I have requested to join the facebook group :)

    Kia ora all! I'm 33 from the Tron - whoop whoop! :wink:

    I started with MFP back in Feb startign at 87.5kg and my goal is 65kg. Though it's currently creeping back upwards ... as I'm preggy with number 4 you'll have to forgive me :laugh: My goal for Christmas is to not be above my MFP SW and to still be moving pretty freely.

    Will head over to FB and send a request to join the group :)

    Hi there, I'm Trish from Hamilton. I am a school teacher working with Year 2 children, and have two boys of my own at home - 14 and 12 - which makes for a very busy life! I have always struggled with exercise and find it very hard to motivate myself to keep doing something I really don't like, which pretty much applies to any form of exercise..lol. I have been doing Zumba for almost 2 years now though and am pleased I have finally found something I enjoy. My goal weight by Xmas is 65kg, am currently 68.4kgs and have lost just under 4kgs since I started watching my food intake (a few weeks before I joined here). Don't have a plan for after that, more of a change in lifestyle/eating habits that I am working on.

    Good luck to everyone and nice to be part of a kiwi group!

    Matt from Whangarei here. Almost down to my goal weight - started at 96Kg 11 weeks ago and now down to 79kg today. Took me 18 years to put the weight on, wish I had known how easy it could be to move the weight back off again. I've stopped eating rubbish and now with the help of myfitnesspal know what a sensible portion size is.

    Good luck everyone.

    Hi I live in the UK Midlands but born and raised in Auckland. A Ponsonby/Parnell chick for most of my life. Too much wine and meals out didn't do much for me physically although working out at les Mills helped me stay not too chubby. Now i've reached my initial goal of 60 kgs (ish) I am aiming to go hard and really get my body fat down really pleased that I gained 0.8 kgsof muscle in the last month , working hard at the weights and keeping my food clean and consistent.

    Still miss the Lindaur (did I even spell that right?) can't get it over here!

    Hi everyone! I'm Janey from Auckland. I've just been using MFP for about 2 wks and have already lost 2kgs, so I'm pretty happy with that :)

    I manage the NZ branch of a menu costing company, and I'm Mum to a 14 yr old daughter. I also have a husband who frustrates the hell out of me as he eats chocolate every single day, plus whatever else he fancies, and yet still remains buff as!

    Luckily my best friend in the world - Kiedis the Border Collie - could also do with losing a few kgs, so together we are on a mission to tone up and trim down in time for Summer by running about 5 times a week.

    I'm currently 58kg, and want to get down to about 50ish.

    Great to meet some fellow Kiwis on here!

    Hi Kerry.

    Hey I'm wondering, if maybe we may have gone to the same school at some point. As I'm 32 also, and I grew up in Nelson as well. Would be such a fluke if we did!

    My real name is: Kelly Parker
