Hi everyone, I'm hoping one of the groups I've joined tonight is active! would be good to have a MFP buddy! I had my RNY Bypass on 1 April and now, 2mths later I've just hit the 20kg loss mark. I'm very happy and getting around so much easier. Would be good to hear from people!

Hi @Katherinelittle24 I have also been looking for a group and have joined a few on MFP, will just see if I get any answers! I had RNY Bypass on 1 April, 2mths down now, and I've lost 20kgs. I'm very happy and life is so much easier now regarding getting around! Looking forward to hearing from you [and any others who are…

Hi everyone, hoping this group is still active as it looks like @KristiMillner08 , you were the last one who posted and it was last year. Hope all is still well with you Kristi. I had a RNY Bypass on 1 April, 2mths down now and have just hit a 20kg loss. I'm enjoying my journey and am very happy, a lot healthier and a lot…

Hi everyone, and especially @IrishAnnie90 ; not just because we share the same name, but also because you were the last one who posted and it was just last year :-) I had my RNY Bypass on 1 April. I'm very happy I did, everything has gone so well, I sometimes wonder if I actually had the op! It's 2mths down and 20kgs lost…

Hi there, I'm not usually online much, so don't generally contribute to the message boards. But in saying that, I'm having a lazy day at home today and am surfing the net. I've had my fitbit since Aug last year. Last year I lost 11kgs through healthy eating and exercise. At the present time, I've added all that weight back…

Hi Bridget, I'm Annie, 52 from Auckland. I've been on this site since august last year. I have a fitbit and use that site as well. I have quite a bit of weight to lose [ about 45kgs or thereabouts] but am taking it little at a time, the first goal being to get under the three figures. Then will take it 5kgs at a time from…

Hiya, happy to be added as well, I'm also in Auckland - out west.

I follow Dr Damian Kristof's programme [from the TV programme 'Downsize Me'] He recommends 1 serving each of Protein, good carbs and good fats. I have Fresh Fruit [carbs] Yogurt [protein] and LSA [fats]

"good" and 'bad' fats and/or sugars are jut generalisations. They are generic terms to provide a general description. What people need to remember, is that not everyone is the same. What works for some, doesn't work for others. People need to find what works for them, and then follow that. This will entail a lot of time,…

Everyone has their own opinions, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions :-) Everyone is different, there is no 'one size fits all'. Different strokes for different folks. If you want to stop counting calories and start eating clean, then that's your choice - go for it! There is no right or wrong, there is only what…

Hi there fellow Kiwi's. I won't prattle on too much about me, why I'm here, or about my inspirations, as that's all on my profile page. I will say, that I'm loving this and the Fitbit site, and although I don't spend a lot of time reading peoples messages/blogs or replying/blogging myself, this is a great motivator and…

I must admit, that I'm not into calorie/kilojoule counting and don't really pay any attention to these values. I do keep a track of my foods, but the Cal/Kj content is irrelevant to me. What works for me, is "The Palm Method". Foods are measured using my own hands. If you were to fist your two hands and put them together,…

Hi all, I'm not sure if you're all still on MFP, seeing as most of the posts here seem to be last year or earlier! I'm spending a bit of time on the site this afternoon, so thought I'd add my 0.02cents worth! On my journey to a healthier lifestyle, I cut alcohol out for 6weeks. When I decided to have a couple of glasses…

Hi there, I'm in New Lynn, Auckland for anyone wanting to chat or even catchup for a coffee?

Mmmm, this topic is a 'Hot' one! :-) Everyone has their own opinions, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions :-) Speaking for myself, my focus is on becoming healthier and as a 'side benefit' this results in feeling better within myself, being happier and shedding excess kilos! I'm not into 'diet products' eg: diet…

My 'Summer Brekkie' consists of: fruit - one of or mix of Apples, Blueberries, Melon, Mango, Strawberries {carbs} yogurt - full fat, natural with less than 12-15% sugar content {protein} LSA - ground Linseeds, Sunflower & Almonds {fat} This provides Fruit [Veges for other meals] Protein & Fat which I ensure is in every…

I'm another New Lynn resident! :-)

I don't know, but I do know that you have to enjoy what you're doing if you want to continue doing it, and you need to do it at a time that is most convenient and suitable for you. Otherwise it just won't continue to happen. For myself, I'm a morning person and it suits me working out before I go to work. Every weekday…
