    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.

    SW 106
    CW 96.7
    GW 70kg (but ultimate goal is between 55 - 65kgs)

    Absolutely love this site its been a god send!! :)

    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 neighbours!

    I'm Glenn from Hamilton. I have 10kg to lose as I am doing Ironman NZ triathlon at Taupo in March. The weight loss will help save my 50 year old knees from a pounding!

    Happy to accept friends for chat / advice / support / motivation / laughs. :drinker:

    Hi there
    i am Mere and live in Auckland. I have joined MFP to monitor my food and exercise. I have recently developed high blood pressure and am working to lose weight and get fit. I have a fairly sedentary job. My blood sugars are highish too - so no more wine for me !
    Motivation is hard for me but I have started again and have to get healthier. I am inspired by your amazing weight loss successes.I need lots of yays and yahoos to keep going. I use the gym to bike and walk and row. Winter is no fun either but - NO BUTS!!
