Hey everybody, I joined yesterday and are already so impressed with he site! To everyone who has lost weight already...wow, congratulations! I think only someone who struggles with their weight will know how hard it really is to win the battle.

My battle?? Such a looooooong way to go but Im willing and will chat to anyone in the same boat as I am. One day down for me...a lot of days to go...

Greetings out of a very hot South Africa!

    Hi
    I used to live in Durban - sigh !! Many years ago now (26) but I still miss the sunshine and the sea sigh sigh sigh. Always said if I won the lottery I would take my hubby and my daughter and her hubby out there for a holiday. My daughter was conceived there and I actually left at 7 months pregnant. I can almost feel the sun and hear the waves now.......:happy:

    Feel free to add me if you want - this is a really good site - lots of inspiration and help always available.

    I so enjoy the fitnesspal app, but, I find it very difficult when I want to add a small banana to the database and they want the nutritional information - also, they don't have things like All Gold tomato sauce and I battle to work out nutritional information there too....I ate 4 small biscuits the other day and just have to keep searching for something similar. The ideal program would be one that incorporates all south African foods and brands......

    Another problem is when you want to see how many calories you need to lose....you have to go to the phone app and they charge for that.

    Apart form that, a great idea all round!

    Hi All, I am in Durban too! Thought I was the only South African here. This is such a great site, really inspiring. I have been slowly adding the SA foods that I eat, and usually put South Africa next to it.
