Weight loss buddy from Australia??

Anyone in Australia interested in being my weight loss buddy.

I've got about 15kg to lose and would love someone to chat to so we can help each other along :)

Let me know :)

Hey,

yea im interested! i have about 15kg to lose too!

what part of australia you from?

I'm from Melbourne. How about you?

Im from canberra. 19 years old, you?

I was just about to say 18, but it was my birthday 2 days ago so I'm actually 19 now LOL. It's always hard to remember :P

Haha whenever someone asks me  how old i am i always have to stop and think lol

well happy birthday!

Thanks :)

So what kind of exercise do you do and how is your weight loss going so far?

Argh I'm lame, I almost typed "oh my god you're from Melbourne? Do you know...[insert names here]". Hmm. Australia is small, but not that small.

I'm in Brisbane, alllllmost 18 (cringe) and trying to lose about 10kg. (It's so nice to type in kilos and not pounds for once!) I'm so bad with exercise, I do an hour powerwalking a day at the very most. :( How do you both handle alcohol with dieting? I think I'll have to give it up til I reach my goal weight.

LOL

Haha I know what you mean about being able to type in kilos for once. I'm so sick of seeing pounds. I can never work it out in my head :P
I'm pretty bad with exercise as well. I lack motivation.

I actually don't drink. I've got a 10 month old daughter, so that part of my life is over. I still struggle with losing weight alot.

hey ther i live in qld have lost bout 9 kilos and have 10.8 ta go how are you going with it all

 Well i go to the gym and do weights and cardio about 3 times a week annnd on the weekend i go dirt bike riding. Surprisingly it is like a work out, specially on the arms lol.

Weight loss is going okay, lost about 3 kgs what about you?

And you have a 10month old? wow that must be hard trying to juggle everything! how are you going with it all??

Sounds like you're doing pretty good. I've been dying to get a gym membership, but they're just so expensive. Soon hopefully.

Weight loss has been okay for me as well. So far I've lost 6 kgs, but I've been really slack with exercise lately, so I probably haven't lost any more.
Plus it was my birthday recently so I pigged out quite a bit. Felt pretty bad about it afterward, so that wont be happening again :P

Oh it is hard sometimes trying to juggle looking after a baby plus exercise and focus on my diet. Luckily my partner takes over when we gets home from work, so I have some time to myself to go for a bike ride or do some Pilates.
My daughter is a pretty easy baby though, so I don't have too much trouble. I've set eating times for both of us so if I prepare food a little in advance it makes it easier.

yea gym memberships are pretty expensive. i go to a small one that not too many people know about so its a bit cheaper

6kg, thats great! at least your partner helps you out so you can do your exercise. i ask mine to cook and he says '...cook?' and shoots a scared and confused look at me lol.

LOL.. it's a bit like that isn't it. I don't even ask my partner to cook anymore because every time he does it ends up burnt. That might've been his plan all along :P

So do you wanna be weight loss buddies? We can message each other every so often saying how we're going, the exercise we've been doing etc. to try and motivate the other one a little more?
