Hi All,
I have to lose at least 35kgs. I am have tried Weight Watchers, years ago, and Cohens, 5 years ago. I am hoping to keep on track here with this fabulous site and meet some new people with a positive 'lets do it!' kind of attitude.
Kind Regards
Kerryl

    Welcome Kerry!

    I'm also Aussie - Not a mum thou! ;-)

    I joined about 18months ago and lost almost 10kg (pretty much hit my goal!) but i went travelling for 3months and put it all back on so I am here again to lose that same 8-10kgs and keep it off this time!
    I will send you a friend request - We can work through it together! ;)

    Hi Kerry,

    I'm almost 40, how time has flown, I am a new mum of twins and have 20 kgs to loss.

    I'm on day 2, still motivated but I have a long way to go.

    I'd love to do the journey together.

    Hi evryone
    I'm also an Aussie and have been on site since just before New Year. I'm also here for the long haul with lots to lose. My biggest challenge since starting has been my return to work this week and trying not to fall back in to old habits as my office is right next door to the cafeteria. :devil: so far the willpower has held.

    There is a forum group on the site called Aussie, Aussie, Aussie where there are a couple of challenges going and threads with recipes using Aus ingredients and measurements. Hope to catch up with some of you in the group in the future although I don't post very often. :happy:
