Hey Everyone, I'm from Adelaide. 31 years old and looking to lose about 30kg. First time using MFP and loving it. Making sure I take the time to log every day and stay focused. I'm glad I found the aussie group :-) Only started tracking on the 2nd, so finally finding my way around all the tools and forums etc. I am…

Hey, I'm from adelaide and I can recommend a great walking group. Go to www.meetup.com and find the Adelaide Walkers and Joggers Group. There are walks on all over adelaide every single weekend and also some during the week. They have over 1,000 members. There are lots of other great social groups too.

Definitely make sure you are logging everything Weigh your food Drink plenty of water Reduce bread, pasta and complex starchy carbs, or if you do eat them, make sure it's at the right time. I find I do not lose weight while eating these foods. Use a heart rate monitor for exercise accuracy. I don't like to over complicate…

Mix up a whole bunch of cooked veggies, leek, mushroom, tomato, spinach, bacon, ham, chicken, whatever you like really. Beat up some eggs and then mix it all together. Use a muffin tin and scoop your mixture into it and cook in the oven until cooked. They are great cold and can be eaten int he car. I'd suggest a little…

That's the spirit, get those feet moving. I can't wait until we get daylight savings here in Oz in a few weeks, then we get daylight til 8-830pm at night. Makes for awesome walking weather, beach walks as it gets warmer.

I completely understand your excitement and motivation, keep that up and you'll get good results. But just remember you must have had something click in your head to make the decision to change your life, which is awesome, but there are still plenty of people out there that haven't had that lightbulb moment. Until they…

Great mindset, I like it.

I've just joined this week and I'm from Adelaide, SA. Looking forward to getting some results and staying focused and accountable. :-)

I've just started doing this and I won't be eating back my calories. But also noticed the difference in calories burnt estimation. I've dusted off my heart rate monitor and I will change the calories burnt to match what I have actually burnt. Can make a big difference as it said I'd burn 758 calories in a gym class and I…

Roasted, steamed, mashed. I use them as alternatives on a healthy shepherds pie instead of normal potato. Also got a spiral slicer and that makes cool sweet potato spirals, which can be added raw to salad.

Firstly congratulations on an amazing loss. You are doing an amazing job and you should be very proud of yourself. I hope you are also feeling amazing on the inside. I have just started out on my journey "again". I have lost a lot of focus on myself after letting life take over, study, work, new relationship, winter (I'm…

One thing that sticks in my mind was my ex fiance saying to me after hanging the clothes on the line "you're getting bigger my love" and he'd basically indicate that he didn't want to get married until I got to my goal weight. All this while he drank mocha milk and ate pies. 3 1/2 years later I have met an amazing man who…
