Down Under Dieter

  • Hi!

    I am 33 year old living in Sydney, Australia and like everyone else here I am on the dieting journey.
    My starting weight was 84.5kg (186lbs) and over the past month I have managed to lose 2kg (4.5lbs) to reach my current weight of 82.5kg (181.5lbs).
    My goal is to get down to 70kg (154lbs) or maybe a little lower.

    My plan is to watch what I eat and cut out the junk, but my main focus is to increase my fitness and exercise.
    I have a WiiFit which I have been using almost everyday which has been fantastic in helping get my fitness level up and now I am seeking new challenges. I also walk my dogs for an hour in the mornings, which they absolutely love.

    Looking forward to meeting all of you and sharing our dieting journey together.
  • Welcome Riayn!!! Sydney! How exotic!

    Congrats on the loss so far!

    Surf around. We have lots of forums, some based on age, eating plan, exercise, etc. We have a 30 something forum and some threads for the WiiFit down in exercise.

    (Have you ever seen a platypus? Sorry, had to ask!)

    I'm glad you're here!
  • Hey, fellow Sydney sider!

    Congrats on the loss so far - I started at about 86kgs, so we have similar stats - it looks like.

    Best of luck in your weight loss!

    Drop me a line any time you feel like talking in metric terms or B.i.t.c.h.ing about how hot it's been
  • Midwife: I have definitely seen a platypus, along with the wombat, it is my favourite Aussie animal. Thanks for the welcome.

    Mazza: It has been insanely hot and humid here in Sydney. Thankfully today is much cooler. I hate summer when it is like this.


  • Glad you found us! I look forward to seeing you around the forums!
  • Riayn - I agree. Got anything special planned for today? (Australia Day, that is)?
    I thought it would be hotter, but it even looks like it may rain....
  • Welcome! There are a lot of people that I know that hate working out, but are in love with their WiiFit. I think that is what a fun and consistent exercise routine is about, finding something that is fun and doesn't seem so much like work. Well, keep up the heart rate and best of luck!
  • Mazza: No plans for Australia Day. Just relaxing around the house. How about you? I am loving this cooler weather though.

    Tink & Lalique: Thanks so much for the welcome.
