suspense is killing me...! ;)

I might be lucky last...? :) Maybe? Who doesn't want a chance to kick start the new year with a bang!

1st Fit Test ("practice run"; first official day is tomorrow...Just couldn't wait?!) Switch Kicks 87 Power Jack 41 Power Kick 76 Power Jump 20 Globe Jump 5 Suicide Jump 8 Push Up Jack 5 ("proper ones") Low Plank Oblique 17... Then 22 on knees...

I used to feel this too - I figured my abs were 'cheating' somehow and making my neck do all the work? :ohwell: How I go around this was to do lots of other ab/ core exercises - yoga and pilates style things that work the mid section without necessarily being a 'military/ PE style' sit up. Maybe by investigating plenty of…

Be proud - 'discovering' fitness should be done asap. Being 17 you've got a lifetime of good habits to develop. Good luck. :)

Exactly the right post at the right time! (If only I could be bothered to do it for myself! Avocado on Turkish bread for tea tonight I think!)

Bahaha, I always answer Drew for this question! (Charlie's Angels' style... :tongue: )

What, like spanx or similar 'suckyergutsin' undies?

Hello, and thanks for the add - great to meet another Aussie! All the best and welcome to the site, it really is a very useful tool.

Sounds good, I'm thinking youtube maybe a useful tool here!

LOL, Convict Conditioning - a name very appealing for an Australian of British descent :wink: Have to check it out, thanks for the heads up :flowerforyou:

No need to be overwhemled... Or underwhemled... You can just be 'whemled'? As corny as it sounds, if you are interested in losing weight or toning up, this is a really useful tool. There are heaps of message boards to trawl thru, and I haven't spoken to a negative member yet. Take the time to look around, talk to people,…

Love that baby is basically in the same position in both pics! Classic! Also, congratulations - I hope I can get anywhere near the numbers you did! Well done :)

dr0p4ah0y - I'm on day 3 of 30 DS... And I'm trying to lose about 20lbs :smile: I started it becuase I read/ saw so many great things on this site about the 'programme' (I'm not following the JM eating plan.) Although I want to lose 'weight', I'm more interested in toning and increasing fitness, losing inches etc. Good…

The only mirror in our house used to be in the bathroom! I've since brought some 'long, skinny' mirrors and placed in hallway etc to 'create the illusion of space' - but you also walk past the beggars several times daily! My mum's old house had huge mirrors everywhere! It was a very good source of motivation....!

Gah, saw it before your post - monkey see, monkey do. I'm blaming it on being on nightshift. :noway:

St Paddie's (= 'Stralian, we always knock words short :smile: ) in years' past was a 16 hr or so blinder! Remember waking up one year with bruises on the back of my legs that were replicas of the stool I'd been perched upon! :drinker: Working this weekend :sad: but sure I'll have a brew or too on knock off!

I actually think it might be a little bit painful to cancel - they were prompt and polite with my email querie, even offered me a discounted membership. But to actually cancel I need to call their number (in The States, of course) during office hours etc. I tried it a few minutes ago and it didn't work! Clearly I need the…

I couldn't access because I don't have the password :smile: But great numbers! Well done!

Okay, I'm Australian, I don't work in lbs, ft etc, but with the help of the almighty google, I think I'm doing this right! CW 150 (about 70kg) GW 120 (about 55kg) Apparently I'm 5'1" (although I use five foot nothing as an insult! HHhhmmm... Maybe I need to rethink that one!) When I was working in an extreme manual labour…

:smokin: I. Want. ...That's it, first thing after I knock off work this morning, going to Kmart to buy dvds... !

Yeah, that's what I'm kindof thinking. The site is very geared toward an American market, which doesn't help me much being in Australia! And I get all the tracking and web community-ness on here. *Aaaawwwwwh :blushing:

Thanks for the welcome, the praise/ advice and the 'friending'... Also to all the rest of you who have sent friend requests, thanks! :smooched:

Hey, cheers! This does seem to be a fairly close knit community. Thank you for the friend application :smile:

Adding onto the jug on desk, make it 'nice' to drink, ie glassware etc. try adding mint leaves, fruit :)

Nice! Big difference for 30 days! Might have to do some investigating... :)

Hahaha, I'm pleased that you've posted this topic, I was just searching thru old posts to see if it had been covered before (although I am sure it has, probably billions of times :) ) My BMR is 1379, recommended calorie intake 1200... I've only just started adding my exercise in, there's no way I can 'eat back' (tho I…
