My before photos have been taken recently. I shouldn't have deleted them off the camera, but they had that awful double chin I just have to lose, and my fat face. I already know about my tuckshop lady arms and duck butt, but I hate that it's got to my face. This is why we're here though. I want to get back to a weight…

Yep. Brisbane, Queensland here. There are tonnes of us here. :) Do a search for Australia and you'll find heaps more. Welcome!

I ate a whole packet of Doritos Hot Mexican Salsa Corn Chips yesterday. (175g). I was so stressed with my toddler, and moving. Grr.

That's fantastic Michelle, I'm glad the challenge can be helpful. I know that I go in to new things with full gusto, miss one day and I'm over it for a long time. This way I'm fully accountable to doing a diet and exercise diary, and I've made it public for further accountability. I'm having the same debate about size 18…

Welcome Beth! Good to have you on board. I'm back on the wagon after a bit of an absence, and I'm moving next week, so I'll be logging in from my phone. I needed to start this group, because I need to be accountable to someone! My food diary was shocking today, but I graduated last night so there were some extra-ordinary…

I thought baby steps would be the way to go. Eventually it will become a habit, and not something that we even have to think about. :)

That's awesome Deb! Welcome aboard. I know it has been a bit hard keeping up with all the weigh loss challenges, when the weigh ins are at crazy time zones like 3 in the morning on a Monday! Also, as I'm just getting back in to it, I thought I'd start with something simple. Just to try and get a feel for the community we…

Hi there! I'm from Brisbane, but have lived many places in Australia being a military brat. :) I've just graduated University with a Grad Dip Ed (secondary), and will be taking 6 months off from looking for work. I'll be spending time cleaning and organising my home that I'm moving to in about a week. I need a clean home…

Hi there, I found this link of recipes by the kangaroo farmers council or something. They have tonnes of recipes. Knowing kangaroo meat is quite lean, and high in protein, all these recipes should be pretty good for you. Just watch out for smelly farts though. :) http://www.kangaroo-industry.asn.au/recipes/recipe_frame.htm…

Hi there,

Hi there,

Hi there,

Hi there,

Hi there,

Hi there, My name's Jackie. Born in Newcastle, NSW, but ended up in Brisbane, QLD - so you can see how much fun State of Origin is for me ;). [I don't watch it!] Anyhow, I've been with the site for a while, but life has gotten in the way, and I'm getting back on the wagon. I have found the phone app for my android, so I…

I'm moving next week, so will be cut off from the program for a bit. MY DD is turning 3 in September, so I'm in. I need some motivation... badly. I'll figure out how to do this from my mobile phone for now though. The food may be a bit tricky, but I'll be there, so give me some time. :))

I just bought myself a Zumba DVD and finally put it in (while I was at home alone), and I did ten minutes of the warm up / quick 20 minutes workout and I was stuffed. I'm 20kg overweight (44lbs) and was sweating like mad and thinking that I can hardly keep up with the "If you're a beginner you might do this - really basic…

Thanks so much. Do you usually get up and go to bed at a set time? What's the best time to go walking with the little one, before or after breakfast? I went for a 15 minute walk the other day because I found a park. So it was fifteen minutes there and back. I had set my mobile phone to beep at 30 minutes, but DD couldn't…

Okay. I'm going to start this tomorrow. Also the push up challenge. I need to do something, as I am feeling more and more terrible as my body weight goes further and further from 66kg to 83, 84, 85.. :sad:

Hi there fellow Brisbanite. This site has been really helpful and the people are so motivational, it's just great. I've had Uni and now I'm sick, so I've been slacking off a bit. This site is really awesome though, and it's nice to see another Brisbanite around. :)

It's not as funny as sacrifice a chicken, but much more clinical. You're fine. :) Me? I always get up, use the facilities, take off my clothes in preparation for a shower, pray my daughter stays asleep just a few more seconds, and weigh myself. Have shower, get dressed and start my day. *Sacrifice a chicken - Mwa ha ha ha!*

Thank you all so much for your help! I wasn't too sure what games were out there. The last video game system I bought was the Nintendo 64 which was 15 years ago. I like the Wii Fit because it teaches me how to do some yoga, which I'd never done before in the privacy of my own home. I'm trying to get some tone before I…

Hi there guys, Seeing I'm in Australia, and it's my Monday, I guess I get to weigh in first! :tongue: I started at 76kg (167.5 lb) last Monday, I fluctuated up to 77 (170 lb), and I'm back at 76kg. So I'll take that as not a gain. My goal for today is to make it to 8 cups of water, I'm still very new to all this, and…

Thanks for this advice. I did 20 minutes of cardio, basic punching, a couple of squats, kicking etc. plus 4 push ups and 20 sit ups. It's now just Sunday morning (1219 am) and my abs are still sore, my wrists are sore, my shoulders and legs are sore. It's been 3 days! It's just ridiculous. :sad: I'm hoping tomorrow, I'll…

You're looking great!

Hi there, I'm trying to get down from 80 kg to 60 kg, so that would be awesome if I could lose that by Christmas. I'm 170lb now, so 30 will get me down to 140lb (63.5kg) which exceeds my goal! I'll be utilising push ups, sit ups, walking, maybe star jumps before starting running for my beep test (shuttle run). I'm trying…

I tried the normal push ups. Couldn't do one. I tried the girly pish ups. I did about two, but only dropped half way to the floor, so technically did none. I reseorted to doing the wall pushups, because I have absolutely no upper body strength. I did about ten of those. My plan is to get the technique down correctly first.…

Thanks. I found the URL is http://hundredpushups.com/
