Hey there, I'm from the Gong but now in Qld. I'm in the same boat: kids, long work hours plus some emotional eating. Starting again today ..

Add me too please! My youngest is almost 4 but I struggled with hyperemesis during all three pregnancies and post-natal anxiety after one and now have a horrible relationship with food. I've put on almost 30kg in 10 years :( I'm also now 40 and work full-time in a fairly demanding career.

I'm new to Toowoomba, QLD :)

Hi I'm trying to get back into MFP to lose weight, please add me!

Wollongong!

I'm back again after losing 6kg in 2012. I've had a difficult third pregnancy and now have a weak back, weak abdominals and a neck hump :( I'm 37, south of Sydney. I really want to regain my fitness and lose weight, I'm currently 173cm and 90kg.

My last baby is 8 months old, I need to work on fitness after a difficult pregnancy and also have about 25kg to lose. Feel free to add me!

Hi everyone, I've just come back to MFP after a horrendous time with HG (severe morning sickness). I'm currently -1kg pre-pregnancy weight, at 23 weeks. Due 12 May with a boy, I also have a 10yo daughter and almost 5yo daughter.

Hi, I have been on effexor for anxiety on/off for four years. I love it, no side effects, and it hasn't affected my weight either way I don't think. You will hear horror stories about trying to get off it. I successfully weaned by taking 75mg one day/ 37.5 next day for a week, then 37.5 every day, then 37.5 every second…

Hi I'm from Wollongong, I've added you and am happy for any other Aussies to add me :)

Bruschetta Pizza from Crust. I get the healthier stuff but can't stop at 3 pieces, it is so yum. I can't make a few dinners I used to make, like broccoli and cheese pies, because they are too chock full of calories. Filo pastry is a no no! I can't have chocolate anything because I will just eat too much. On a normal day,…

Fantastic work! I have a disturbing gut too, don't worry!!

Wow, huge difference! I am trying to get my belly down too.

I am a huge over-eater to manage feelings (depression, anxiety). I am almost 20kg overweight because I have self-medicated in the past. MFP has been a huge help to me, but I think for the first time ever I have the motivation to stop. I still get binge cravings occasionally. If I can't head them off with distraction, I…

That is great, lovely story!

Amazing job, well done!

Bump :)

Oh my, fantastic!!

Some great advice here. I have found that thinking of it as trying to get healthy, and that it will take a year to actually lose the weight, is helping. I am not so focussed on weight loss (as to be honest I don't really care that I'm fat) but on trying to change my relationship with food and exercise. Tonight for example,…

You look fantastic, well done!!

Gorgeous!!

Brilliant, thank you!

Yep, Wollongong!

Yes, I did this a couple of times at boot camp. Just high intensity workout for a few minutes, then change to next workout. I thought it was good!
