    Name: Amy

    What are your main motivations for losing weight?: I'm tired of being tired all the time. I want more energy and I would also like to save some money when it comes times to shop for clothes. :-) Smaller sizes seem to cost less.
    What exercises do you like doing most?: I like ZUMBA! And I love walking with my dog.
    What's your biggest food weakness?: I'm a sucker for carbs... I like rice, pasta, bread, rolls... If it is a carb, chances are I love it!
    Where are your favourite holiday spots?: Camping in Utah with family
    What restaurant do you love even though you know you shouldn't?: Olive Garden... PASTA and BREADSTICKS!
    What was your favourite TV show growing up?: I used to always watch Saved by the Bell before heading off to school

    I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

    Happy New Year Loserville!

    I'll whip us up a spreadsheet with all members on this evening, what's our challenge going to be for the first week? I'd be keen on a big burn challenge (either who can burn the most calories or aim to burn 3500?), as I feel like that's what I need to do right now!!

    Name: Rach, Rachel, Rachy
    Age: 38
    Location: Auckland, New Zealand

    What are your main motivations for losing weight?
    To be fit, fast and fabulous

    What exercises do you like doing most? Run, Bike, Swim, Bootcamp, JM30DS. I'm currently training for a triathlon series, first race is 22nd Jan.
    What's your biggest food weakness? Sugar, I'll eat anything in excess that contains it. I am an addict.

    Where are your favourite holiday spots? I love to experience different cultures, but with 2 small kids my holidays are limited to activities they love! I love Rotorua, mountain bike tracks, beaches ...

    What restaurant do you love even though you know you shouldn't? Restaurant? What's that? I eat out very, very rarely. When hubby and I do get a rare night out we always try somewhere new.

    What was your favourite TV show growing up? Hmmmmmmm .... I think Danger Mouse, but that's the sort of question that would change if you asked me tomorrow!
