Hiya from NZ

Hi, I'm new! I'm from NZ, we are in the middle of winter here in the southern hemisphere! I am looking to lose a whole lot of weight and get a whole lot fitter! Fair, fat and fifty is not where I want to be right now!

Hi and welcome Lucy

We're in the middle of summer, but you'd never believe it judging by the terrible weather we're having!

Take a look at the pinned posts section to the top right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a phone) and starting with our welcome newbie thread, read through all the information and challenges that are on offer.

Consider joining our monday group weigh-in, which is non-judgemental and supportive and helps to keep us accountable. The latest thread can be found in the events section, beneath the pinned posts section, on the home page.

Be active on the forum, as that's where we get to know each other and where all the latest information, inspiration and motivation can be found.

Wishing you all the very best as you start your journey to health and happiness

Well done for joining this and making a conscious decision to change! I am new too and faced with losing about 3 stone to achieve a healthy BMI as well as hopefully reducing cholesterol levels I felt overwhelmed but have received words of encouragement as well as suggestions which have made me think about how I eat even more than what I eat. That is my issue and I realise that I graze so never feel properly hungry so never feel full so keep grazing..... no wonder I'm fat!! I will now try to focus on this and make adjustments. I wish you all the best!
