I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it…

Wow, there's a lot of steps there! Well done everyone!

@deepwoodslady Sending virtual hugs all the way from Australia! I'm glad the other blockages weren't as severe as first thought, hopefully you see/feel some improvement soon with the new meds - I know these things can take some time. :heart:

@minstrelofsarcasm Thank you for the warm welcome :smile: I agree, declining health/looming health issues can be a great motivator! I have tried many types of exercise over the years, and I am part of a few challenges here on MFP that mix things up a bit. The thing with strength training is I don't mind actually doing the…

Hi all, thanks for having me! :smile: About me: My name is Christie. I live in a rural town in Australia, where I work as an accountant at a gold mine. It's interesting work most of the time, and I get to see some pretty cool stuff (like going underground to see equipment in action, or watching them smelt a gold bar)!…

@deepwoodslady I know it's really easy to get caught up in the daily movement on the scale, but there really is so much more that goes into each day's weight than just how much/what you ate the day before! Calorie deficits take time to show up on the scale as fat loss...we retain and lose water weight for a million…

@deepwoodslady I love my Renpho scale, it connects to an app on my phone that also links directly to MFP so I don't have to do anything more than open the app and step on the scale! They're pretty cheap, too, I think I paid A$30 on Amazon.

Hi all! I used to do this challenge a while ago but stopped...but now I'm back! I'm Christie, an Aussie, 36yo with a 3.5yo son at home. I work full time as an accountant, so I'm chained to a desk for 9 hours a day! Last year, I lost 30 lbs with the help of this challenge and a few others here on MFP. But around 9-10 months…

Thanks @DaffyGirl88 ! I've been around, just mostly in the Hogwarts & GoT challenges! @deepwoodslady I'm so sorry to hear about your heart problems. I really hope you can be set up with a treatment/prevention plan soon. My mum went into heart failure earlier this year, with atrial fibrillation (AF). It was scary for a…
