Hi Kelb,

Welcome, I'm just up the road in Hervey Bay I signed up to this forum last weeek and have found it a great help. Like you I'm considering signing up online just to get an idea of syns and comparable foods. Good luck !

Hi Njay, yes not too far away. Thankyou and Good Luck to you too yes it's mainly the cost that's not swaying me lol, it seems a lot more expensive than when i just paid my weekly class fee !! and i also noticed our weights are near on the same, current and goal. lets hope we both get there soon

Ah cool, I'm just up the road in Chumbawumba aka Toowoomba... I have def found signing up online to be a godsend, you can also, if u have an iPhone/iPad, download the SW magazine for much cheaper than ud buy in the shops if ur fortunate enough to have any local newsagents who stock it.

Hey, I see we're the same height, what made you choose your goal weight? Mine was initially 140 pounds but I'm nearly there and not happy with how I look/feel so might well reduce it...

Hi all

Kelb - Welcome :welcome: to the aussie thread. Sorry - joined the party late, been out all day trying to teach the kids to dive - must've spend an hour treading water and my shoulders are killing me - its gonna hurt in the morning!!

Funny how we all have similar goal weights

I know - low syn WITH flavour - who knew lol!!! I got the salt and vinegar ones in my local IGA - they taste good too xxx

I confess that I checked their syn value, though AFTER the event, just in case. Was it not you who said the mountain breads were only 1 syn each!? LOL

I just noticed your goal weight is 8 and a half stone! OMG!!! I don't think I've been that weight since I was like...born?! lol

Hi All, Yes not too far away from toowoomba either, lets just hope we all do get where we want to be each others encouragement and advice, i'll sure be needing it. I decided on the goal i did as i weighed 8 stone before having my first child, then went back down to that after putting on 2 stones whilst pregnant, then went up to 9 stone and felt more comfortable with that as i stopped getting comments of you need a good dinner down you, then i had my second child, again went up to just over 10 stones, then back down to just over eight ( breasting feeding was great for my figure ) then i packed up smoking and my weight crept up to 11 and a half stone, so back to smoking i went, and didn't manage to lose the weight so im gonna try to be the weight i have been most happy with, and looked and felt great with, then i'll tackle the smoking yet again, but hopefully with a better mind and knowledge of food, i also have an added incentive of renewing of vows this years, after 15 years of marriage and want to look great doing it on the beach

I didn't see your height, and im guessing by your name we're also the same age, im 35 in march, im surprised at what you say about not being happy about the way you look and feel at 140, maybe i'll feel the same, if i ever get there lol, like you say, it is all about how you feel, so i guess i'll just have to see ??

Haha - you are right - ooops!!!

Yeah 8 stone 10 - am only short and thats bang in the middle of my ideal BMI, am thinking I may up that by 1/2 stone as last time I was that weight I had no muscules - nowadays I am like that advert - I have a six pack, its just covered up by a layer of fat lol - hopefully not for long....
