G'day!!
 

Hi everyone!

Just stopping by to introduce myself. HI! I'm new, obviously.

I'm 27, from Sydney, Australia and have... well... 200 pounds to lose. Shocker, right? I won't launch into my whole story yada yada, but I've been obese my entire life... and damned if I will be this size when I hit 30.

I'm here. I'm moving. I'm eating clean. I'm working on curbing my binges and kicking my 'addiction to lazy' in the behind.

So HI! again and I'll see you 'round the traps.

Dancing carrot FTW :carrot:

Love the dancing carrot! What does see you round the traps mean? I am from Louisiana and never heard that. Have a good day and keep on keeping on!

I am also new and there is a lot to this site. I am 46 and have 81 pounds to lose. Let's go and do this!

Thanks kw2neat! Welcome to you too :D

Forgive me, it's just my mad Australian idioms coming out. It basically means I'll see you around these parts or something. I think it originally comes from I'll see you around the pubs/bars/hangouts... thus they are traps to "good" men ;)

Welcome to the forum and best wishes on your WOE.

Born in Sydney but raised in the Darwin until coming to the states in 2000.

:wave: Hi MissBB

I'm from New Zealand - there are a wee few from down under on the forum. Congrats on taking the first step, you've definitely come to the right place so much information! And support

Feel free to PM me if you get sick of talking pounds! I've got 100pound that I want to loose

Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone! Glad to see some others from 'down undah' :D

Hi MissBB! I'm new as well and also working to kick my 'addiction to lazy' habit. (love that phrase!)

I've got around 150 pounds (or around 65 kg, or around 10.5 stone) to lose, and find it a little daunting. I would love to hear your story sometime, if you're feeling up to it.

You sound like you've got a great, positive attitude going - keep it up! :)
