Hi everyone. I've been part of this group for a while, but haven't really had enough info to share to post before. But here I go. When is your wedding date? April 6, 2013 How are your wedding day plans coming together? Just about done. Just need to organise my centrepieces and talk my mother-in-law out of changing my…

Howdy, I live in Meadowbank and am moving to Parramatta from Penrith for work on Wednesday! So everything will be new in Parra! My understanding is there's a lot of places you can work out there, but I don't really know it very well, so can't be sure. I'm a member at V&R Fitness in Meadowbank, but don't go very often…

Has anyone else checked out the recipes they released today? Yummo!

Yep, biggest challenge will definitely be finding time to do everything, closely followed by retaining the willpower and motivation to stick with it. The planning is going ok though. Just have to keep reminding myself that it's my wedding, so stop taking everyone else's crazy suggestions to heart. :-)

Start weight : 104kg Currect weight : 107kg - I had a really bad holiday season Goal weight : 65kg Wedding : April 6 2013 First Dress fitting : Going looking in June 2012 I tried on a couple of dresses while I was on holiday and while it was kind of amazing the whole 'wow, this thing is getting real' it did make me realise…

I've joined up for this today but will probably be in a team with a few other friends. Chris, I do see where you're coming from, but I think anything that can help, even if it is just a blatant plug for TBL, is a good thing.

mmk, I'd love to, but unfortunately none of them have the time. And it would be easier for it to be someone closer to home rather than work. Yes, I'm being difficult. :-) HonkyTonks, good luck. Hope you find somebody. :-)

I had the same problem you did with my W1D1 (which was Saturday last week). I had the outrageous amounts of pain in the shins, and got slower as I went. But then later I felt alright (but was a bit stiff the next day). I'm probably about 50kg overweight at the moment and am hoping this will help me drop it down. I'm using…

I just did Week 1 Day 1 this afternoon and boy did it hurt! I got excrutiating pain shooting up the outside of my ankles - old netball injuries coming back to bite me I guess. I think I need to spend more time stretching before I start and see if that helps. Luckily being in Australia we've just come into summer, so it's…

Howdy everyone! I'm currently living in Meadowbank, Sydney, but work in Penrith. Moved here four years ago from lovely Central Queensland!

Laura, it's great to hear you've committed to trying to make life better for yourself. I'm about the same height as you and actually weigh more, so I know what you mean about feeling bad in your own skin and hating the look of clothes. It is my daily horror. Hopefully together we can both show ourselves (and everybody…

Welcome! I have found MFP to be a great way to hold myself accountable. I hope it works for you too. Feel free to add me if you want a fitness buddy!

2/9: Another 20 minutes of walking today. Expect more tomorrow with the weekend.

Ok, well, it's September 1 over here in Australia and I'm off to a slow start. 20 minutes of walking today. :)

Sure I'll give it a go! So long as someone reminds me to post. :-) I'll sort out my ticker later.

I guess part of my problem is I was not brought up eating fruit/vegies/salad, so the concept is completely foreign to me. Not for my mum's lack of trying though, I was just very stubborn. :) So I find I don't enjoy those kinds of food, and that's what I'm having to try to get over to make this work. Very hard stuff.

Hi everyone, thanks for your responses! Nakabi, my fiance is trying to lose weight with me (as he can also stand to lose quite a few kilos). We both have the same food issues - it's easier to get takeaway than it is to cook something. I think finding a way to cook everything on the weekend ready for the coming week would…
