Great list of sites. Ill def refer back to it.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It give me a good start. :)

I have the zen labs one too. And it's awesome. I'm nearly finished week four.

Hiya, I'm from just south of the city. Only about five minutes drive out. I mostly use the gym for my fitness (classes and PT sessions) doing a lot of running as well. (Completing the couch to 5km program), I also try to eat clean. But I'm not good at that yet. Probably clean only 40% of the time. But I'm getting there.…

I'm soooo already going. :-). My friends have got a group together, so far there are 17 of us who say we're going to do it. Haha. Well see how many actually sign up.

Bump! Congrats ladies. I'm 5ft4. So this is inspiring one day ill put my before and after pics. :)

Ahhhh, this has been really helpful. I'm just about to start week three and I was a little self concious about how slow I was going. But listening to everyone I've been doing alright. :). Im an aussie so my treadmill is in kms, so ill convert, I walk at 5k (3.1) and I run at 8k (4.9) sometimes I will run at 3.7 in my last…

Well this sounds fun. Haha. I'm Mandy and this is me! Age: 26 Gender: female Married? no, but am with an amazing boyfriend, coming up 1 year. Kids? no Goal weight: 65-75kgs, depends how the weight sits. Current weight: oh no, you have to buy me at least three drinks to get that info. ;-P I will say that I have a lot to…

I dont know if this is what you would be looking for, but I found this organised run that goes along the torrens. I plan to do it in a few weeks. http://www.parkrun.com.au/torrens/

Awesome, inspiring thread. All you ladies have done so well, although some of you are way too harsh on yourselves. You all look great. I'm no where near bikini ready yet, but this thread makes me hopeful that it will be one day soon.

Im really loving protein smoothies at the moment, and they are surprisingly filling due to the protein and fruit. My favourite at the moment is 1 Scoop Chocolate Protein powder (the one I have at the moment is BSC for Women - Swisse Chocolate) 4 strawberries 50g Frozen Raspberries 250ml Water 1/2 Tablespoon of natural…

I have the FT4 in pink and I love it. Combining it with MFP I have really been able to do the "maths" of weightloss, and have had much more success. I think the FT4 is really good if you just want a calorie counter, if you want any of the bells or whistles I have heard the 7 is good.

I tottally agree with Melissa. I think the Lorna Jane stuff is alright when on sale, and for the novelty of some of the slogans on the tops. But that is about it. I would use it as a treat, rather then just buying your everyday clothes from there. I personally cant fit into anything there yet (well i dont think I can, Im…

I realised I never wrote on this to introduce myself. haha. Probably partially because I know half of you personally, so it seemed a little bit silly. My name is Mandy, 26 and looking to lose a decent amount of weight so I can get fit and kick *kitten*. And look good in all the tiny vintage clothes that I love. Its…

hahaha. Clever. They are about about 2-2.5 centre metres in diameter. I think. Im crap at estimating.

I made these protein balls the other day, they are so tasty. It isn't my recipe, its someone named Sophie Guidolin, but the recipe is really easy to turn into your own. I'm currently trying to find a way to bulk them out a little to lower the calorie count. I got it lower by halving the coconut and chucking in some puffed…

Yummmm, the bars sound delish. I think Im going to make some, with a few additions of course. lol. Do you think the mixture would stick together as well with more fruit?

Hiya, Mandy from south Australia. I'm 26 and looking to lose a butt load of weight and get pretty darn fit along the way. I go to the gym, try my hardest to eat clean and take supplements. All of which I am still learning about. Looking for friends that have an open diary and lots of hints, advice and encouragement. I'm…

I use complete whey protein - vanilla bean. My trainer recommended it as it has less added crap then most others (I haven't checked this, but I trust her) I found the taste at first was pretty average. But I've gotten used to it and now I quite like it. I think you have to preserve with the protein shakes for a bit, the…

Snack sized chocolate/chips, subway cookies and muesli bars/health bars. Too many calories and like no nutritional value. Lol

Hiya, Just joined the group, eating clean is my goal, however I am still pretty new at it, and I am also trying to fight old habits, so my food diary probably doesn't look all that clean to those who have been doing it for a while. However I am making progress, and I think my good days aren't too bad. Also I took Christmas…

:-)

This would be mine. http://www.asos.com/au/Denim-Supply-by-Ralph-Lauren/Denim-Supply-By-Ralph-Lauren-Coloured-Vintage-Cut-Off-Short/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1974884&SearchQuery=denim&Rf-700=1000&Rf900=1568&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Orange

Congrats. You have done so well. And only with walking as exercise is even more amazing. Also I love your glasses. :-)

Mandy from Australia. Looking to lose a large amount of weight and to get very fit at the same time. I'm interested in a lifestyle change. I'm interested in having friends that are willing to give advice and maintain a diary of their own. A lot of people I have added recently either don't use it properly or have it…

Added you!

Well one person added me. Which is a start. Haha. In need of some people to help keep me accountable, and I can do the same for them. :)

This is a good idea. Ive have joined a gym that has all the basic equipment and the classes. The classes are good because once you have started, you are commited to 30-60 mins of excercise. I also found having a personal trainer once a week or fortnight was helpful too. keeps me on track.

My advice is to put the scoop on the scale, then zero the scale. If you then fill up the scoop you can see what it weighs and if it matches the nutritional information. Im guessing the weight would not include the scoop, but I havent checked.

Energy drinks (replaced with define*8 at the moment) and trying to kick Hot Chips, it leads to other terrible temptations. Also, processed snacks such as museli bars and cheese and cracker dips
