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!!

Hi, I'm Kris, a librarian from Lower Hutt. Started this two weeks ago and can see it works for me. Knitting is my bliss, and buying gorgeous yarn is my motivation!

HI I'm Dianne and joined a week ago. Great to see other Kiwis doing this! Hoping to loose some weight but am finding the school hols, and having just returned from a weekend away, a challenge :blushing: Oh well, another week and more of an opportunity to apply some discipline

Hiya,
What an amazing site...I joined 3 days ago because a friend recommended the food diary. I had no idea how many calories I was actually putting away until I used the diary - today was the first day I stayed within the calorie goal, so I'm pleased about that...though as I'm typing now my stomach is growling.
I have always struggled with maintaining my goal weight of 64kg...I work really hard to get there, and everytime I do, I sabotage myself within a few weeks with junk food and/or stopping my exercise. I then let myself creep up toward 70kg which is usually enough of a motivation to get me started on the diet/exercise cycle again. This year it has taken me a little longer (73kg).
I would like to quit this yo-yoing and do what it takes to maintain a healthy body.
It would be great to get some kiwi friends:)

Hey Emma,
I live in Outram and would like to have a local person to help me out :-) I'm a 37 year old female with young, 7 and nearly 5 year kids. I'm over 80kgs at the moment (not the heaviest I've been, but I don't want to go back there). I want to lose about 15kgs and if I lose more, even better :-)

Hey, I'm originally from Invercargill but I've been living in the UK for two and a half years now. I'm currently in North Devon which everyone keeps telling me is as close to NZ as I'll get here.

I've put on loads of weight since coming over, there are so many yummy foods here it's hard to resist. I've got about 8kg to lose and I'm 5'0".

Hi, I'm Tina. I'm a full time admin worker. I am also a mother of a 10 year old daughter and a son who would be 13 years old (passed away at 7 weeks old).

I would love to lose 25kgs. I started a weight loss competition at work almost 7 weeks ago and have lost 5.8kgs at the 6 week mark. I would love to lose 15kgs by the end of the competition, and then try to stay motivated to lose the extra 10kgs.

I started on this site yesterday, but added a few bits from my exercise diary and my weight each week of the work competition so I could keep track.

I can absolutely relate to that! :-)

My "weight loss battle" began when I returned from my OE to the UK 6 years ago, where I gained 15kgs in the year I was away.

I'm now 31 years old and have my wedding coming up in January 2013 and have decided that I WON'T be the size that I've come to be for the big day.

I started off at 73kgs at the time I got engaged in November last year, am currently 69.6kgs and my goal is 62kgs before the wedding on 26 January.

Hi everyone. I'm Bron from West Auckland. Looking forward to the weight loss and new friends.

Hi everyone! I'm Paige and I'm a student at Otago and would love to lose 15 kg for summer. It's great to see other New Zealanders on here especially as we can discuss summer bodies unlike all the Americans on here who have just had summer! Good luck to everyone!

Hi, I'm Kate. I live in Kapiti with my husband and two boys. I'm a stay at home. I'm trying to lose 8 kg! I eat far too much home baking and chocolate! Please add me as a friend
