Hi :-) Welcome back. I am also trying to get back on track. Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

I am one of these people that eat when they're bored (which is all the time at work at the moment) but at home, I'll do something to distract myself like going for a walk or tidying up (occasionally). If I still feel like eating something a little unhealthy after that then I'll have a smaller portion so I'm not depriving…

My all time favourites are: Twister Deep Blue Sea (I :heart: shark movies) Serenity The Princess Bride Rocky Horror Picture Show I'm a HUGE fan of action movies, especially the Expendables and RED (plus I have a huge crush on Bruce Willis :love:). I am also a bit of a sci-fi geek so the Star Trek movies and the original…

I'm reading High Five by Janet Evanovich. It's the 5th book (obviously) in the Stephanie Plum series.

Hi!! I've signed up for my first City 2 Surf as well. I'm a little daunted but looking forward to it.

Hansen and Weezer!! Some of the worst music I have ever heard!!!

This is what I loved from my childhood Pretty much anything by Bon Jovi but mainly Livin' on a Prayer Pat Benatar - Invincible and Shadows of the night.

grew up in newey, right in the centre, but now I live in Sydney

I used to be really fit and sporty when I was a kid so I want to be like that again. I want to be able to run 5k I'd like not to struggle to open jars (and seeing as I don't have a man around the house this can be a big issue lol) I'd also love to look good enough for a guy to actually tell me I look hot and maybe even ask…

I'm really shy, I usually take a while to warm up to people, so I don't really have many friends. I'm a huge sci-fi nerd; I love Star Trek, Andromeda, Star Wars (the originals, not the new ones) and I LOVE Dr Who! I was born to be a Trekkie as I was born on 19 August, Same day as Gene Roddenberry I have never had a…

HAHAHA!! I haven't memorised the pokerap but I do have a DDR song with it at the end. I used to be into anime, still have a few dvds, but not into it as much. I'm a sci-fi nerd and I know the opening speech of Star Trek: The Next Generation off by heart (as well as half the lines from Twister and Deep Blue Sea). Feel free…

Well mine is more of a NSV. I've recently started a new job and my old job was the supermarket next door to where I live, so I go back in there a lot. Pretty much everyone I've seen tells me how happy I look and I even had someone tell me that I was glowing. It's been a long time since I've been really happy so I think…

I wish we had a gym at work. I think our company has a contract with Fitness First which is in the building up the road, so I might look into that once my current membership expires. It would be so damn convenient to have a gym that close, particularly as I have to commute at least an hour to work every day.

I'm reading 'Killing Floor' by Lee Child, which is the first of the Jack Reacher novels. I'm fairly certain they made this into a film with Tom Cruise which I find hilarious. Tom Cruise is one of the shortest actors around and the character in the book is about 6"4 lol

Hi Everyone. I've recently reignited my passion for reading, mostly due to the fact that I now have to commute about an hour to work (instead of walking next door). I love reading proper books, however my mum bought me an e-reader because I'm going overseas next month and it's so much easier, and lighter, then packing a…

I'm living in Western Sydney, out Parramatta way, but originally from Newcastle :drinker:

When I was living in Newcastle with a friend (thankfully about 6 years ago) we would order a bucket from KFC with 6 crispy strips, 6 nuggets, a large popcorn chicken, 6 chicken pieces and two large chips along with a large bottle of pepsi and split it between the two of us. Even now just thinking about how much I ate and…

Hi Guys, I read the Hobbit and LOTR when I was in early high school and loved them. I think this is an awesome way to track exercise and I'm hoping to get "There and back again" (even if it takes me a looooong time) :bigsmile:

I feel really slow because since Monday I've only done about 4 miles :embarassed: . Hopefully once the weekend hits I'll be able to ramp that up a little bit. I'm going to England next month and will be walking my butt of so that will certainly boost my mileage :drinker:

Hi, I'm also from Sydney and feel free to add me

OMG that is so annoying! There was a lady I used to work with that would do this all the time. She sounded like a cow eating grass. Whenever we had lunch or went out to dinner together the rest of us would always try not to get stuck sitting near her. This lady is lovely, but she just needs to shut her mouth when she eats!…

It sounds like you're really struggling. All I can say is don't give up on yourself, because you're totally worth the effort. My sister and I work full time jobs and don't have a lot of time to cook during the week. What we do is on a Friday or Saturday we go through our recipe books and pick a whole bunch of recipes that…

Closer to the Edge by Thirty Seconds to Mars. I have it on repeat at the moment :heart:

I only found this page a few weeks ago, so here are my goals for the next 3 months: 1. I want to be at my goal weight. 2. I want to have set up a regular gym routine. 3. I want to have finally kicked my diet coke habit. 4. I want to still be enjoying my new job 5. I want to have finished/almost finished C25K (I'm going…

Chugging back the water today. I was doing pretty good until Sunday night. My sister and I specifically asked for NO CHOCOLATE for Easter. We knew that mum's best friend was getting us an egg because she'd mentioned it a few weeks before. What we didn't know was that it was a bowl full of little eggs with a big egg in the…

Hi Kathy. I also just left my old job 3 weeks ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm now in a new job that is way less stressful and I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. The new job has also given me the motivation to get my healthy lifestyle back on track. I think at the moment you should just…

Welcome! This site is great and so easy to use! I love the recipe calculator. It's so easy, you just plug in all the ingredients and their amounts and the calories are calculated for you. If you save the recipe it's added to your collection where you can use it over and over (and you can change it if you want). There are…

I weigh myself every Wednesday morning after I get up, before I have breakfast. Occasionally I'll sneak a peek on a Saturday just to see how I'm cruising. I think if weighed myself every day then I would become obsessed with the scale, so I figure it's better not to tempt myself.

Good luck. You'll find lots of great people here to help you on your way. Just remember that there is no such thing as a stupid question (I know, because I ask a lot of stupid questions :laugh: ). Feel free to add me if you like

These days I don't really keep junk food in the house any more. I find it way too tempting to chow down when I'm bored. On my way home I ended up buying some strawberries, apples and grapes to take to work with me, as well as some low fat chocolate mousse to treat myself. I'm trying to take healthier snacks to work with me…
