    Hi , my name is Jan, I live in Canberra - I am registered for the million Kg challenge too but I could not face the food this week ( i read the comments re taste!) so found this site and I am calorie counting instead - as I used to consume unbelievable amounts of chocolate, biscuits, cake and ice cream - have banished them the last 10 days and since Monday I have lost 1 kg - I have been exercising 30-50 mins/day alternating walking the dog and going to the gym. I tried the beginners exercise - Bondi Bum - I am so unfit! My daughter had a good laugh timing me:)

    Hi Angie

    yes it is Australia wide it has been advertising on channel 10 and on facebook.


    Hi Jan
    I am not sticking to the meal plan for the challenge. I am using recipes from another site. I still eat chocolate when I am at work. I haven't done the exercise's yet but did something similar to that at my local gym. I go to the gym twice a week plus I also do aqua aerobics which I do once a week.

    I also have a support group on facebook for the people of South Australia.

    Thanks for that LemonDiva. I use to weigh 106kg and lost a lot and I am hoping to get to at least 80kg but my doctor wants me down to 75kg

    Hello, fellow South Australian :-)

    I'm doing that challenge too but haven't actually engaged with it (I remember getting some kind of email, was I meant to do something with that?! Oh well, maybe next week).
