I'm a New Zealander living in Australia so i'm a bit of both :) Feel free to add me too - i'm 32 but meh - we're all here for a common purpose right? :D

What a great idea for a group, :-) I'm Tanya, I'm 32, I'm Maori originally from Wellington now in Australia. I have two kids (6 and 2), and really packed on the weight after my second child. My 'this has to change' moment came when I realized I couldn't fit into my 'fat' pants which were already a size 18! I was seriously…

I'm in! I'm 32 - mother of 2 girls and finally making me a priority! Feel free to add me - i'm here everday :-)

Sydney here - ya'll are more than welcome to add me :)

I've added you too - friend motivation is a big part of this journey i'm finding :)

I just started today too. I have never been a "runner" but always looked at those that were with awe. I love running it theory - it looks great! But... I hated it today. Week 1 Day 1 and I hated it!! The whole time I was thinking " am I insane? this isn't fun! This is torture!" I was going to just... not do it (lol) but…

Woo - you have a fantastic attittude! And that attitude is going to get you to where you want to be!! Go you!!

HI ladies I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I've lost 19lbs and would like to lose another 15-20lbs. Would love some Mummy friends so feel free to add me :). I'm here everyday

Sydney here, can add me too :)

Absolutely start off slow. Even 5 minutes of exercise is better than no exercise. When i started (7wks ago) i did 11minutes on the crosstrainer and thought i.would.die! DIE! I was huffing and puffing and it was awful (and embarrassing to discover how unfit i was!). I just built on that - 10mins the first day, 15minutes the…

I'm in!

I can so relate! Love (love love love) coffee, ate far too much fast food, hated exercise! I've been here 4 weeks - still love coffee, have discovered that fast food/junk food is much easier to limit than i originally thought, and as for exercise? I start feeling fidgety if i don't do any now! Seriously, sounds crazy but…

I'm in sydney - i'm here all the time, got some great Aussie MFP friends here. Add me if you like :)

Sydney here!

You don't need all those shoes, or designer handbags. Seriously - SAVE! Surround yourself with loving supportive people instead of those others You are worth it, always.

Oh My. My. My. My. My. *fans herself* My day is a WHOLE lot brighter now :love: :love: :love:

Hi there, I'm almost 2 weeks into this journey and happy to have more friends! I'm from Sydney :)

I agree that you can't make him do it. It is something he has to do when HE is ready - just as its a journey you embarked on because YOU were ready. In the meantime i would imagine some of your new healthier habits will rub off on him - healthier meals (if you are the cook), healthier snacks available in the house, going…

I'll add! I'm a mum of two, need to lose all the weight I've accumulated over the years, I'm here daily and have an open diary. I look forward to havi another weightloss buddy!

Well done! Brag away, great job getting to that milestone :)

Hi all, I have just started (last week) lost 4lbs in my first weigh in and am very eager to see lots more come off! I too am looking for other supportive motivational people so I'm going to add some from here! If you'd rather not, just decline my request no drama :)

I am new to. I have found, with calorie counting, that's its not really a 'diet' so much as trying to make better choices and staying within the calories allowed. I don't feel deprived because I'm not deprived, I still eat what I want I just control portions and have introduced 'moderation' to my daily vocab! I drink…

Bump

I'm adding :) I need lots of supportive people, and want to be supportive too :)

I've been here 6days and love it! I am always looking for people to motivate me and be motivated. I love reading other people's thoughts, exercises and old diaries :) Anyone can feel free to add me!

Thats why head shots work for me. That parts fine... its just everything from the neck down...... :laugh:

i'll add you :). Can never have too much motivation and support!

I am so guilty of doing that (a big part of how i put on weight in the first place!). I now make myself have a cup of tea, or drink water. And then if i'm actually hungry - something healthy. Its simply a habit, and one that needs to be broken.

Sometimes i am like that! I might look at myself in the mirror in something and think - yep, i look pretty good. Days later i'll see a photo and be like... ummm - WTF? Is that ME? What happened between my mirror and that photo?! lol. But if i ever catch sight of myself naked in the mirror... *shudder* ha ha. I am new to…

You look fantastic, your words are inspiring, I'm at the beginning of my journey, stories like yours give me hope :)
