Oh my goodness - where to start!? Ok - Sophie's Choice, Steel Magnolias, Beaches, My Girl... I'm more of a reader than anything though and some books which really set the waterworks off were The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons, These is my Words by Nancy E Turner, Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon and The Thorn Birds by…

Be careful what you wish for, I'm in Australia and it's been HOT. The heat makes me feel lethargic so working out has to be indoors and early in the morning before it gets too hot. But not struggling - I struggled more early on, now I've strung 2 good weeks together, I'm in a routine of exercise, I'm gaining momentum. Just…

Mine's kind of pathetic in comparison, but I haven't touched chocolate in a fortnight. This is going from eating it every day pretty much for the past 4 years. I did my shopping tonight and really REALLY wanted one, but I came home and ate a punnet of strawberries instead, with a teeny-tiny sprinkling of sugar. Sugar…

Hi, personally for me, it's a shift in mindset. If I can climb that initial mountain of resisting temptation for a couple of days, before I know it, I don't feel like it anymore. I know it's early days but I've been eating healthy for 2 weeks and feel much better. The first few days were hard, more mentally than…

I lost 12kg quite easily by not doing very much at all following birth, and then I had to move mountains to shift anything after that. Given that's about what they say you should gain during pregnancy, I assume that was just my body adjusting to my non-pregnant body (ie fluid retention etc), and the rest was the fat I…

I too am about the same height/weight so seeing your results has given me something to strive towards. Well done! You look amazing!

I have done it twice previously (well signed up, not completed) and I was considering it but can't justify forking out another $200 given I haven't lasted the distance before (but that's more of a reflection on me and my lack of willpower than the program as I found the whole program and the support from Michelle Bridges…

This isn't a success story, but a question (and I feel silly asking). Before I got pregnant I had quite a small frame (particularly my torso, I had a small waist and my ribcage was quite small). I gained a truckload of weight in pregnancy which I've never fully lost, so I don't know this myself, but with all the internal…

Well done! You look fantastic. Your arms are amazing, this is a real problem area of mine, and the transformation in your arms is really inspiring.

I haven't read the responses but I'm guessing there would be some passionate opinions. Personally I couldn't love someone who affected my self-esteem in that way, I would resent him and find qualities of his such as vanity, insensitivity, shallowness etc a turn-off. Saying that, I ended a relationship with someone last…

I started yesterday (10th) so I've done two sessions. I also just downloaded it from youtube. I have found it to be hard, but quick. I hate workouts videos which last 45-60 minutes and do it once and never again. With the 30 day shred workout, by the time I feel like I'm about to crash and burn, it's the cool down. After…
