Hi All,

I just joined MFP yesterday. My name is Kirsty and I am from Blenheim.
I have about 25-30 kg to lose.
I am a stay at home mum to my 2 beautiful daughters who are 14mth and 26mth. They are part of the reason I have embarked on this weight loss journey - I want to be a positive role model for them.
I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I have never been skinny. I am really excited at the thought of being able to walk in to any clothes shop and buy what ever clothes I want rather than just having to buy what fits!

Anyways, feel free to add me as a friend if you want.

Hey there,
My worst habits are chocolate and ice cream too..How do you break habits I find I have to have it everynight but very small portions...Sweet as

Hey,

I've just joined the group today to get a bit more motivation.

I lost 10kgs about 5 year ago, stayed around the 52 kg mark and then managed to gain 13kgs in the space of a year and a half. I'm gutted I have let myself get this heavy again but I'm determined to get it off with a lot of hard work.

I live in Auckland and spent a year working in chch, so conveniently blamed my weight gain on the quakes but have been home since October and have put on more weight... So have ran out of excuses!

My biggest weakness is I love food, particularly pasta, tatoes, bread, rice..... Basically, any carb!

Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi' and best of luck to everybody!

Hi everyone,
I'm a 22yo student living in Auckland. I found out about this site through the That's Life! mag. I'm about 95kg and need to lose at least 30kg. My biggest problem is not eating at the right time. Looking forward to a positive change

hi all ... Been on MFP for about 2 months now i think ... I have been in this group for a while but haven't introduced myself so here I am.
I am a 32yr olf mum of 2 gorgeous boys. One is 2 1/2yrs and my youngest is 6 months old. I have a big chunk of weight to lose and this is the year for me. I want to be a role model for my boys and instill good habits in their lives as they grow up.
I am a nurse and currently still on maternity leave so trying to make the most of being off with my boys to get fit and healthy. I have run a couple of 5km races but walked over half of the distances of them. I am keen to do better in them and so I am doing C25k as well.
I have found some great motivators on here and try to be motivating for others too.
Feel free to add me ... always keen for motivating people and i will support you inn any way i can.
Happy losing

Hi guys, I'm Ash - a 28 year old male from Chch with an initial weight of 166kg at the beginning of the year and am currently 147kg.
Been big most of my life but now want to lose the weight so I can have the body I've always envisaged, and now that I've lost some weight, I have faith that I can achieve that.

Hi

I've been meaning to do something about my weight for ... well, years, but I'm really starting now.

I'm 159cm and just under 80kg. I want to get down to 60 eventually, but in the mean time I'm focussing on 74kg. I've never tried an interim goal before, but I've heard it works!

I live in Dunedin and am keen to meet up with anyone else working at losing weight.

Cheers
Emma

Hi my name's Lylie (said like Kylie) lol and Im born and breed Christchurch. Turning 27 next month. Been on here since the beginning of April 2012. Not really doing any exercise at the moment just watching the diet and its slowly working. I smashed my tibia Xmas day 2010. Was on crutches until the end of June 2011. Once I was more mobile I gained a lot of weight even though I was heavy in the first place. At Xmas 2011 mum told me there were a lot of comments made about my weight (nice huh?). I wasnt really motivated to lose till I signed up on here and started losing, now Im addicted to it I work for Toll and do all the Shipping and Admin I really enjoy but it can be tiring.

Hi everyone I'm a mum of 2 and am trying to lose the weight from my last pregnancy (1 year ago). I've been on here for a few months but only got serious the last month or so. Still got about 7 kgs to go. My husdand works away which can be really hard, juggling the kids and trying to find the time to workout. Feel free to add me because I have no friends (boohoo) well no friends on MFP anyway hehe. I'm currently forcing myself to do 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 twice a day to get the weight off. I HATE working out lol, but am making myself do it.

Hi everyone,
