Do you know if there's a thread for general chit chat? I know it would help me to log in more and chat with those that are online at the same time as me.

Thank you so much for your replies. I will have to update my settings and also make my page worth reading/visiting. I will make sure to read the replies below often as there is a lot of things to remember when it comes to weight loss. I just tend to forget them until I see them all in one place. Thank you for that.

Hi - welcome to SP. Take your time to look around the site and see what is on offer - lots of really good things:-)

My favourite is the Nutrition Tracker - I weigh all of my food for increased accuracy and enter it is there - ALL of my food;-D You will find that the SP Database for food is limited where it comes to NZ food. below is a link to a really good site that will take up the short-fall. Just enter the details into your Manually Entered Food in the SP Food Tracker and then you will have it in your favourites for future use.
www.calorieking.com.au/

Remember this is merely a healthy lifestyle - it is NOT a diet - it isn't about deprivation or starvation, OR excessive work-outs.

Just start this journey off with baby steps, changing only one or two things to start with, and only when your mind/body has gotten used to the change, add something else to the mix. If you have a lot of calories to drop, just do this in small increments because otherwise you could end up suffering from nausea and/or light-headedness.

You will find that by becoming active on the message boards in your various teams, you will get heaps of support. Some teams are more active than others but you will soon see which ones are by looking on the Team Pages.

I went to have a look on your SparkPage but noticed it was set to private. Of course, that is your choice, but having them open so that other members can drop by is a really good way of getting ongoing support because we often leave each other little messages (and the occasional goodie:-)

I wish you well on your journey.

Kris

Hi everyone,
First of all, thanks for having me here. Really looking forward to my time on here with you all.
I find losing weight hard just like the rest of us I'm sure. But when I have a weight loss buddy I seem to find it a much easier journey.

I would love a weight loss buddy. I know it's the one thing that's going to keep me coming back and keep me accountable. So if you are after the same thing, please send me a PM.
