Hi Everyone,
I am 28 years old and from Australia. I have approx. 10kg to lose but I seem to lose my way a little bit which is why I am hoping that myfitnesspal can help me. I am fairly active but I have a terrible diet and I work very long hours.
Anyway, would love any advice anyone could give me or a diet buddy if there is anyone out there in the same boat.
Thanks!

    Hi,
    I signed up a few months ago but have only just started using myfitnesspal every day 3 days ago. I'm 33 and from New Zealand, I have lost 11kg so far but still have about 8 or so to go. I'm currently on maternity leave but when I go back I work horrible hours and am hoping that I will be able to fit some exercise etc in. Feel free to add me if you want!

    Hi I'm new to this board myself. I had been on Weight Watchers and lost tons of weight from my wallet and my belly. I spent over $1000 in two and a half years and lost about 100 pounds. But one of the reasons I stopped was the cost. The reason I gave up was lack of money, and getting depressed because I didn't have the money I needed to keep losing weight.

    With this program I'm hoping to get back in plan, logging is easy for me. Sunday will be my first weigh in.

    Thanks for writing back. I am a comfort eater also and my biggest problem is I live on my own so my boundaries are a little lose at the moment which is why I am hoping that by using this site and logging all of my details I will be able to keep better track of my intake. I am so glad that it seems tone working for all of you.
    Please let me know if I can help in anyway :)
    Thanks!
