Hi all. 42 y.o. from Vic. Getting a little sick of having too many overseas friends on here. Noone ever seems to be on at the same time as me!

Hello Fellow Aussies, im new here and looking for other fellow aussies to add as friends, im 21 and in NSW! feel free to add me

Just realised I hadn't posted in here yet. Always happy to add new friends on here, especially more Aussies.

I'm a 32yo guy, about 25kgs down from my heaviest and a few more to go.

I basically follow the rule of not doing anything you can't/don't want to sustain long term. Basically an IIFYM approach to my diet. Happy to offer any support or advise to others along the way - but no judgement (unless you ask for it of course). :glasses:

Hi, feel free to add me ... I need to be held accountable, and I find when I don't login daily on MFP my weight suffers!

I'm 31 from Melbourne - my favourite way to exercise is kickboxing, and body combat classes. I'm trying to lose 10kg to get back to my pre wedding weight

I'm always looking for new friends. I'm 29, almost the big 3 0 :noway: I have a 14 month old baby boy and I work part time at an animal pound. I have a bunch of dogs and my friends and I compete in dogs sports pretty often. I have lost around 15kg since having my son and around 25kg from my highest ever weight. I'm still attempting to lose another 15-20kg. I've been a bit stuck lately so I'm attempting to lower my carbs but I still have big splurges with friends and stuff on the weekend so my diary can be all over the place :laugh:

add me, 31 female brisbane, 5 kilos to go, problems with drinking too much on the weekend :drinker:

Hi all, I'm 26, from Perth, WA.
Started at 145 kg last December, currently at 106 kg, working towards my first goal of 95 kg. I'll reassess where I am from there.
Looking to start playing baseball again later this year, and rugby next year, after having to give up both because of weight-related joint injuries.

I was obese for a lot years, losing a little and then putting it back on over and over again. Tried various diets and programs with limited success. I took a different approach this time. Did a huge amount of research into weight loss, diet, nutrition, etc, and combined bits and pieces of it all into something that works for me. I've developed my own ideas of what I need, so you might notice my caloric intake doesn't quite match up with what MFP recommends for me.

I'd like to have a few more friends on here that speak in kg and not pounds!

Hi Everyone, I have just joined and I am a mother of two adult children who have now left home "empty nesters!" I need to loose around 50kg. I have a long way to go but I am determined to get there this time. My husband and I still have so many things on our to do list but I know to get the most of of the experiences, I need to loose weight and get fitter. I would love to add a few friends to share with. Please feel free to add me as a friend for like support and sharing. Hope to hear from you. Good luck!

Hi there, I am 30, live in Adelaide and I'm here looking for support and motivation (and to give some too).
I have about 8kg to lose and have been struggling with these for the past 5yrs! I have tried every possible diet for about 2wks then usually cave in and give it up.
Now that I am 30, i have realised that dieting isnt the key, healthy living is! I try to eat clean for at least 80% of the time and allow myself a few treats. I use MFP for tracking and support however I dont focus too much on the numbers.
If you are similar or just looking for support please feel free to add me

yep.. up for more friends, new on here!!

Hey all
Im a 29 yo mum of 2 boys, after my second son, my weight has all come back that I lost before I fell pregnant, Im just looking for friends for motivation and inspiration..please add me if you want to

Hey there

I' m in need of a friend friend additions. I'm new to the whole fitness scene, never have i ever really thought about changing my lifestyle until a recent trip to the states where all we ate was take-away food as it was the easiest (not healthiest) option.

Since returning I've been preparing my own meals, eating healthy snacks of fruits, nuts and vegetable sticks and I'm actually enjoying it.

I have just also recently started going to the gym and having a few of my mates motivate me as much as possible and to push myself as hard as ever.

I'm hoping not only to make new friends in the real world but also on MFP, as I have been told of this wonderful online community that share stories, motivate one another and just keep track of how everyone is.

I may be new to this, but I'm sure as hell motivated.

-Palmer.

Hi all,

I am a 41 almost 42 (yay double 21st coming very soon) mum of 1. I found this site last week and so far have been very good with what I have been putting in my mouth. It's amazing just how much bad stuff is out there. I am constantly looking at the labels of food to see if I can eat it or not or if I can just how much I can eat. I am trying to lose 30 kgs as I am so sick of myself and hate the way I feel. I am not one for doing a lot of excercise but will start. I need some motivation and support as I am not telling my family what I am doing. I am hoping they will notice and comment without any prior knowledge of what I am doing. Please add me. Would love to get some advice from others in the same boat as me. :flowerforyou:

I'm up for more friends too A mum of 5. 4 older children doing there own thing etc and an 11 yr old at home. Married, divorced/widowed. 4 from first marriage, and youngest from my late partner. I'm currently studying Div 2 nursing. I'm a PCA (personal carer) in an aged care facility. Love my job. Feel free to add me
