o no hun thats not cool, i know exactly how you feel but i found what was best was to just keep getting out there and doing it, even if you end up running for a shorter distance atleast you are running and on track!!! I also found that my running has improved heaps from bootcamp where we did alot of interval training ie 4…

actually i once tour all the ligaments in my knees cus the snow boarding guy didnt ask me what my weight was, he guessed too much and so when i fell over my skis didnt fall off and so i almost broke my legs - so uncool

lol im a neurobiophysicist does that count?? i love anything fantasy, star trek, star wars, battlestar, stargate, game of thrones etc.. although im not much of a gamer :(

yeh i had a woman in the shop grab some pants off me and tell me that shed get my size for me or they could order something larger in .. i was like urm they are my size - all cus i have boobs grrr ive worked hard to get to a size 12 (nz) lol

ooo yeh totally agree if they havent logged in for an age i do delete them though i feel really guilty until i think well they gave up on themselves first by not logging in..

lol urm mine is if they are doing similar things too me ie strength training and fitness based or i find another thing is if they write me a message :D or if they are from nz cus well not many of us are from there n it helps having people online at the same time as you!!

honeysprinkle.. urm 22?

hehe thanks guys il take 23 :D im 25, got mistaken for 16 the other day, awkward..

someone guess me lol

yay i was right :D

keepoking - 44?

Well i think the biggest thing is to not let your slips last long!! I always used to try hard and exercise and eat well for like 3 weeks and then slip for one.. n that meant i was getting stuck in a rut.. The best way I believe is to give yourself a day off a week to help kick start your metabolism, where you can eat…

GREAT work, loving the photos i think im definately going to have to take some and see where crossfit takes me!!! It really scares me when i see people weighing themselves every day, i hardly do it once a month :D all about the results in fitness and strength more!!

pitbull - give me everything tonight... no idea why but when i hear this song i work out extra hard.. i think the zumba has subconsciously got to me lol

I used to be an advanced combat medic in the NZ army :D loved it trying to get fit again to potentially rejoin in the territorials :D miss my weapons and the training too much..

i think for christmas i will have a day off food wise but i will try to exercise and get that in regardless of the day so hopefully it all works out.. although i am a tad worried about being home and drinking because my parents love alcohol so it will be interesting lol cant wait for a holiday though!!

yeh our classes are always kept to low numbers so that they can keep an eye on your form and you only work to your potential... if you are trying hard and they can tell they usually just keep you going rather than pushing you to hurt yourself and tell you to go faster.. well thats what ive found atm.. n when you are…

i work out at lol not work at.. i wish i worked at crossfit

the crossfit gym i work at has some great deals on grab one etc so it actually works out to be less than most gyms.. ie les mills etc. im a poor student but i find the money to do the things i love and i find that crossfit understand that so let me do the deals etc.. n if you get a membership you get 20% off 10 card passes…

i have been doing it for 3 months and i love love love crossfit.. i think most of it depends on the coach but the coaches in Dunedin.. Grant and Speedy are amazing and i never have a bad workout and i always leave with a smile. I highly recommend the box101 class for fitness as the crossfit work outs are more strength…

lollipops of any kinda are actually a great alternative because quite often when you are craving pop you actually are just craving sugar so if you can id cut down to a lollipop and drinking heaps of water.. diet coke is actually really bad for you, the reason you can drink it without putting on weight is that your body…

i cheat lol i do fitness classes with crossfit.. love it !! always get forced to work out hard- thats usually either the normal crossfit work out or the boxing but at the moment i am also doing bootcamp.. so all in all 5 times a week but then on top of that i do pole dancing and gymnastics - trying to do that twice each!!…

Hey Kiwis, im so stocked with how many of us there are now!! wahoo, My name is Jess Im doing a PhD at Otago in biochemistry and i love it!! My aim for using mfp is to get fit!!! so mostly logging to make sure im eating a balanced diet for the amount of exercise i do!! But i also understand loosing weight as have been yo…

I…

ooo id be keen to join the new zealand group :D

well to be fair there are some people on here who want to log their fitness as well. I know im one of them, its my record for how much i did at the gym or at kickboxing, it is after all called my fitness pal. Although i do log my food because I have never really looked at it before and so i want to know how on the ball i…

Being over on protein is actually a good thing if you are doing lots of exercise because it really helps with muscle developments .. im continually over on protein but i eat very low amounts of fat :D
