Hervey Bay, Queensland here

I'm Karen. Looking to lose about 30kgs over the next year or two. I'm 5kgs down so far.

I'm on the Fraser coast up in Queensland. Probs too far away lol. But finding other Aussies is always a treat

I'm almost an EEN. (Endorsed enrolled nurse) I graduate in December. However I work 3 days a week and drive 90 minutes to school three days a week. I just finished a 6 week block of work placement at the hospital. I had a lot of trouble with logging times as well. I am going to try the 6 hour blocks next time too!! Add me…

What type of shoes are you wearing? I found a decent pair of joggers made the world of difference to my knees

I'm almost a nurse!!!!! 4 months to go till I graduate

I stopped eating bread. That so far fixed it for me

Yoga or Pilates. Best things ever for my sore back from my bad posture.

You can ask the office staff how to link the dreadmills to mfp. I think they and the stepper machines link. Otherwise just add either aerobics if you're doing a class or weight lifting in the cardio section if you're working on the machines or free weights.

Yep SUP yoga is awesome. I've done that a few times. Unfortunately due to work and study times I keep having to miss out. Bring on January when I'm finished studying. Then I can start up again.

Also there are heaps of free ones on Spotify. I love them!! If nothing else they relax me and give me a great nights sleep.

I'm 33. SW 83kgs CW 78kgs GW 50 something kgs I'm 5'1" I work as a personal carer at a nursing home. I'm studying nursing and I'm a mum of three kids (14,8,3) Add me if you guys like. I live in Australia though so my Timezone is totally opposite to most of you. But I comment and have an open diary

Ooooh congrats to all you mummies and mummies to be!!!!! I wish you the best of luck :smiley:

Hi Katie!!! My sister has that name to, so you are already awesome in my eyes :) I too used to sit and binge eat, binge watch etc. I'm now tracking foods and getting off my ar$e moving around. I'm even lifting weights!!! Something I never thought I'd accomplish. Trust me hunni, if I can get out of my funk, you can do it…

My (no longer) friend did that. Except she has used her so called success to sell certain wraps that really don't work.

1. I want to be small but strong 2. I hate feeling so uncomfortable in my own skin 3. I want to stop the body contortions every time I need to wipe myself after going to the loo. Actually, all pelvic area hygiene area attendance is a pain and I'm not getting the area clean enough. 4. I feel so much better and healthier and…

I'm Karen, I'm from Australia. Feel free to add me

Australia :)

I take an antipsychotic as well and yep my psychiatrist forewarned me about the weight gain. What I'm finding is that now that I'm mentally stable, I can concentrate more on the counting of calories and exercise. Whereas before I got to therapeutic level I had a crap load of trouble trying to balance everything. Keep…

Physiotherapy, yoga, Pilates etc. Eating at a deficit... You can't spot reduce. But you can work on your posture.

I'm an Aussie, but I'm from qld.
