I saw him in Sydney (best night of my life!!) and i have to 100% agree - he is a TOTAL genius!!!

Hi :) I am Katie and currently living in Penrith. I am originally from the country - Tamworth and spent a year in Dubbo before moving here last June. I joined a gym as soon as i moved here - fernwood in Penrith - and have been loving it! Need to be extra brave this year and start doing some classes so hopefully i can make…

I work & live in Penrith!!! I go to the Fernwood gym in Penrith but would love a walking buddy or something on the days i don't feel like going to the gym. Send me a message if you want to catch up sometime! I have just moved to the area from the country so it would be awesome to start making some local friends too :) Katie

My best by far was Eminem in Sydney 2011 - was definitely a dream fulfilled and the best night of my life! Was VERY impressed with Lil Wayne as the support act, his set was amazing!!! Other mentions include: Silverchair - their Freak Show tour (maybe around 1997? I am sure i was 15 & was convinved i would marry Daniel…

I go to a Fernwood and l love it! Moving to a big city and not knowing anyone and not feeling too confident about my body, i thought it was a good option for me. I had only ever been a member of a mixed gym before, so i didn't know if the atmosphere would suit me, but i feel really comfortable and i love going! So it's…

It worked for me when i was doing it properly. I still have the shakes & the bars on hand for emergencies or i buy them when they are on special (i love the cookie crunch bar). I found it simple & easy to follow and i would have the 500 calorie meal for lunch which suited me better. Good luck!

Hi guys :) I have been thinking as much as this group is amazingly supportive, it's just so hard for me to keep up with, i didn't realise how full on my new job was going to be until i started. I have been in Sydney for a month now and am seriously loving it, but am working my butt off at work and at the gym, going home…

Chiliflea... no worries, I will try and find my measuring tape tonight to take measurements in the morning (cause i haven't measured for months and months). Did you want my starting from tomorrow morning or when i started doing this again seriously?? Photos?? Hmmmmm i have some probably from my last trip to NZ, but i am…

Jenni you are amazing!!! Good on you!!! You keep me inspired :D :D

Awwwwwwwwwwww Jenni it was so lovely to meet you and just chat about everything! I am really looking to spending more time with you and having the support i will need close by! So looking forward to Zumba too! To everyone else, hello again, i have been a message board slacker of late and i am sorry to have left the group,…

:smile: Kia Ora! I wish you all the best on your journey to a new and healthy lifestyle :) I am going to send you a friend request... I love this site, it is so good for support and knowledge and just keep track of what you eat and how much you burn on a day to day basis! Katie :smile:

Oh wow you look AMAZING!!!! And look so happy!!! Good on you, you are an inspiration!!

I just the my heritage thing... and it also said i look like the actor from Gilmore Girls - Lauren Graham!! Haha, but it said that my face matches Amanda Peet the best. Other mentions were Delta Goodrem, Rachel Bilson & Grace Kelly! Interesting :D

I always seem to get Loreli (not sure if that is how you spell it) from Gilmore Girls - not sure of her real name though?? Haha and i don't see it... And whenever i meet irish boys, they always think i look like Lilly Allen... but yeah not sure about that one either haha!

Another Monday! And i am please to post a 1.4kg loss this week! YAY!! I now weigh 93.6kg and i am super happy :) It is inspiring to read everyone's progress! I cannot believe how much exercise everyone is fitting in, makes me feel a little lazy! I did nothing over the weekend... but i did spontaneously drive home late on…

Reading that was really inspirational! And makes me even more determined to do it this time and to keep it off! This group is amazing hey... so supportive and makes you feel like you can achieve anything! Congratulations!!!

As of today i have officially lost 5kgs! YAY!! I am beyond happy! It has taken me 5 weeks, and i have 5 more weeks to lose the next 5kgs before NZ! I CAN DO IT!! Orangejellybean is a screen name i have used for years... basically everything else i chose was taken haha, and i like orange jelly beans, so there you go haha!…

I have one on my ribs and MAN it hurt!!! But totally worth the pain...

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome to hear! So happy for you!! VezNo1 - Hugs!! It is never fun to have a low week, just know we are all here for you in any way you need!! Early morning spin might be just what you need to lift your mood! *hugs* hang in there! So this week is going really well for…

Idahogirl71 - Congratulations!! That is amazing loss and you must be super happy to have lost more than what your target was!!! Very happy for you!! :) :) Steph_135 - Wow a Japanese restaurant like that sounds amazing! And the atmosphere/ experience would be worth the money. I am finding that as i am getting older, i am…

Oh my Sydney was AMAZING!!! I haven't had that much fun in a while. We had the funnest road trip on Friday morning and got into Sydney a bit after 12 i think and went to The Rocks and had the yummiest Tapas at a little place called the Flying Fish (or something similar?). Friday night we went out for real Japanese food…

You are going so well Jen, you are truely motivating!!! I don't think i would have survived on this site without you! Am almost ready to leave work for the week, i cannot wait to head to Sydney tomorrow!!! You have a super weekend, and i look forward to seeing if we have all managed to stick with our challenges! I will try…

I am having the weekend away with my best friend this weekend as well! CANNOT WAIT!! Although i don't think we will be as strict with the drinking haha!! Have the best time :) :) :)

Happy Thursday!!! So far this week, i have managed 4 hours of exercise, only 3 more to go and hopefully i can manage that with my weekend away. I am pretty sure all the walking and (hopefully) dancing we will do will be more than enough... Although all the eating and drinking we will also be doing makes me a bit nervous!…

I am terrified of frogs too!! They totally freak me out!!!

Hello fellow friends :) So my challenge this week was to exercise for an hour each day! Yesterday i did my hour, and i have already completed my hour today, but have been asked to go for a walk with a friend this afternoon which will be great! So hopefully i might be able to log around 2 hours today :) I spoke to my friend…

Hi Sarah and welcome to the group! Everyone is so lovely and supportive here :) I am EXACTLY the same!! I freak out whenever i have to get a needle at the Dr, but i like the pain from getting a tattoo! Mind you, i only have 2, but i definitely want more. I have one on my ribs and one on my foot, and i have been told they…

Ok i have had a shocker! Haha, must be still waking up.... i see the challenge last for 12 weeks!! So my goal is to weigh 88kgs in 12 weeks time :D I think that is pretty realistic as there is Easter, and my holiday to New Zealand in the middle of all that plus no doubt other social events. So hopefully that should be…

Happy Monday everyone :) :) New challenge day! YAY!! My challenge for the week is to do at least an hour of exercise every day, so that would make 7 hours total for the week... it will be hard as i am off to Sydney on Friday for the weekend with some friends, but i am hoping some dancing and walking around the city will…

Hi lovely ladies, I am looking forward to the walking challenge, and yes as i don't have a pedometer, i will choose to go by hours of walking per week. Realistically i already walk for about 30 mins to and from work and at lunch time, so i am thinking it would be possible for me to maybe add in an extra 1/2 hour a day, or…
