No, too young :p

Sydney resident here and I approve of this thread!

Definitely start as soon as you can. I wish I had mixed up strength training with all the cardio I was doing when I started my health & fitness journey. I lost a lot of weight pretty quickly with a modest calorie deficit and 5 days of cardio but realised much later on that doing weight lifting as well would started the…

In early 2011 a girl I worked with started paying a lot of attention to me and made it pretty clear that she was interested in me. While I wasn't hugely obese, I definitely was chubby to fat and not in good shape at all. She was a petite little thing with a great body. What made it seem even weirder was her previous…

Tonight will be roast pork with baked sweet potato and regular potato and some steamed veggies. Pretty much the Sunday norm :)

Within Temptation - Shot in the Dark

Umm, the ripped back, sculpted shoulders and muscular arms all stick out :p

Sure :D

@BoatReadyBody - yes, those abs are awesome!

I love Australia, but if I was to move far away first choice is The Netherlands with Canada coming in second :)

Sydney here :)

Yay for gamers!

I used to use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein practically daily for about 6 months and only switched to a different brand/product that suited my current goals better however it's definitely a protein powder I *will* be using again. Great taste (I've sampled Double Choc, Extreme Milk Choc, Strawberry Cream, Banana…

Count me in :) I'm actually hoping to be somewhat beach ready by the end of 2012 so I can enjoy the bulk of the Australian summer. Summer 2013 though... Should be nicely shredded, haha.

I've spent the last almost 2 months on a mission to put on some new muscle mass and wrap up in a few weeks to start cutting. I've planned out a considerably longer cutting cycle than you have as my body fat was still quite high and I really want to get down to as close to 10% as possible. Currently I'm eating 3000+…

I was eating 1500 calories a day + exercise calories and was losing for a while then it tapered off and stopped. Thought I'd cut down on what I ate and went to 1200 + exercise calories and was feeling hungry a lot and wasn't very energetic some days. I did lose a bit of weight, but I couldn't keep doing what I was doing.…

Going to my first ever Halloween party next week (Halloween has started getting bigger here in Australia). Got myself a costume that's meant to be an evil Cleric/Priest from Medieval times, looks pretty cool :) Might get my face painted as well to give a bit more of an evil touch :p

I got started on my weight/fat loss adventure in January this year and pretty much ate a calorie deficit and just did cardio 3-5 times a week, usually a fast paced walk for 30-60 minutes or playing basketball. Weight fell off really quickly but and while I had lost a considerable amount of weight a good portion of it was…

I bought XCOM last Friday off Steam after seeing it being featured in the store. The trailer was halfway through and I was already sold. Definitely brings back memories of the old school games and to be frank, I didn't even know a remake was in the works (remember the previews of the XCOM FPS). Love strategy games be it…

Don't be so sure of that! You know how it is, not blue, shoot it! Unless of course you're in TEST where they bubble their own fleets on a stargate :p DekCo might not do an official deployment to Querious, but doesn't stop a group of alliances heading over to look for good fights like the original plan was with Delve :p

Gotta agree with this post. You're active daily with exercise so a smaller calorie deficit than you're currently on should suffice and maybe change your routines up a bit. I've heard good stuff about HIIT helping burn away at stubborn belly fat and am working it into my exercise regime. I know how you're feeling though.…

I miss playing EVE but I'd spend so much time on it. Pretty sure the only times I wasn't connected during the hell caging of 6VDT and more recently VFK was during the scheduled downtime. 15 minutes of non-stop **** jokes.. <3 DekCo :p

Friend on my basketball wanted me to play that with him... He's missed 3 games since it came out...

Ahh EVE... I miss blobbing :laugh:

That's the attitude I've adopted this year too. Wish I had a lot sooner but.

Sweet. Pretty much what I've been doing. That's a relief xD

I had almost 2 weeks off about a month ago and came back to the gym feeling weaker before even picking up a dumbbell. On my warm up set of incline dumbbell presses I had to drop down 7.5kg to finish a set :/ I didn't like that feeling and don't want to experience again if I can help it! Even during my time off I felt like…

Different people, different approaches. Main thing is to find something that suits you and that isn't going to negatively impact progress made.

I considered getting Wii Fit at the start of the year just so I had something to do here in the house. Didn't end up doing it and started playing basketball more regularly and joined a gym. The way I see it now, when I get home in the afternoon/evening, if I want to play computer games, I'm allowed to play computer games!…

She's mine! :love:
