Any Primal / Paleo Kiwis?

Hi from New Zealand!
Hi there - I've recently started doing a 'bootcamp' at my local gym, and came across this site, which is provided some extra motivation for me. I'm turning 40 this year, and my aim is to be below 60kgs (132lb) when I do. I don't think I have been less than 60kg since I was a teenager - at only 5ft tall, I should be between…
