I weigh every morning and average it over the week :) That way, it accounts for any excessive fluid retention, bloat etc.

I'm not new-new but rather coming back for a second round after gaining weight from medication. Looking forward to being part of the family again! :) It's been a while...

Welcome to MFP!!! :smiley: Just remember that it gets hard but it is so totally worth it! And everyone here is pretty nice and friendly so you will always have people encouraging you to keep going :smile: Me included.

Welcome to MFP!!! :smiley: :smiley:

I have to second Lindsey Stirling too! So good. My playlist varies on what I feel like, it can be anything from Mozart, Bond, Stirling, to metal and techno and the likes.

I tend to just zone out and contemplate the meaning of life... because I'm philosophical like that ;)

Agree with everyone that says it's a waste of money; I've known people that have used it and DID get results but you know what happened after? They gained all that weight (and more) back! Maybe a lifestyle eating overhaul is required? Not only will you be eating healthier and be able to maintain it, but you will also have…

+1 about the induction. When I first began I was 'inducted' into the gang and they show you how to operate and workout with proper form! Some machines also have instruction pictures on them so you shouldn't be too clueless as to how to operate them! Like mentioned before as well, 99% of the time the staff will be happy to…

This is me at my latest progress photos! I do quite a bit of lifting but have really only just started focusing on it more!

That definitely sounds like me!!! - Urban Planner; enjoyed studying GIS, IT, and mapping Hazards and stuff as well as mathematics and population trends / economics. - I enjoy studying! - Avid gamer, used to play WoW before I got too busy (Horde - Undead Warlock) - Science Fiction :heart: Need I say more? - I want to do Phd…

HAHA. The women at my gym think he is a God and talk about him alllllll the time whilst on treadmills. Bit of a cult goin' on!

^ Agreed with the two people above me; don't worry bout it. Rather sugar from fruit with all the other benefits than sugar from lollies with no extra benefits!

I was an ex-trophy girlfriend :ohwell: And the whole: "You're too flat - I like boobs." Well....thanks.

I would stay away from logging it it's not reallllly active is it?

You pretty much answered yourself - what you are experiencing is water fluctuation which is why your weight changes. Water won't make you gain fat - it's just a temporary cycle. Water consists of NOTHING which can make you gain permanent weight and your body will adapt to it soon! :) PS - Better be hydrated than not! PPS -…

Great work! :noway: It makes me laugh when people say these sort of things about lifting - really; you aren't going to get that big in a hurry! :grumble:

Definitely with you on this one - that is about 3/4 of the PTs there! Hope it works out with you too; you won't know until you get further in and start getting to know him outside of the gym!

I have one on Mr. Physiotherapy guy at my gym.... :love: :embarassed: I can only wish!

:drinker: HI there! Firstly...You're English is not bad at all!!! :happy: I used to weigh in at 70kg but only at 58kg now; my ticker is a little bit out on MFP :ohwell: I started when everyone started calling me fat and now... here I am! Goodluck with you're journey and feel free to add me if you like :flowerforyou:

Agreed; these things are bets done over long periods, not short!

AMen to this; I appreciate honesty!

I just finished reading 'The Jackal' by Frederick Forsyth. COntinues to be one of my faves :heart:

Sounds like a great motivation; you can do this!!!! :bigsmile: You are the creator of your own story :happy:

I dont do them myself; but I hear rave reviews about T25 and Insanity!

20 turning 21 in four weeks :) Feel free to add! :drinker:

Great work!!! Amazing results man! :drinker:

Dane Cook and Ellen DeGenerous! I'm sorry but no!

I try to motivate myself through idols [Arnold Schwarz; Shannan Ponton; etc etc.]; I motivate through mixed music; through quote son the mirror that I see everyday and most importantly, envisioning what I want to achieve every day and also whilst training!

Hi there; I live in Queensland now but I used to live up in Port Hedland in the Pilbara!

Mine is the humble apple juice! ^_^
