Hi Katherine, I'm also from Melbourne, feel free to add me :-)

Hi all, I'm new to this group and have recently finished reading the book after reading so many people rave about their success. My plan is to start tomorrow and try to lift at least 2 days per week. I do a lot of weight based circuit training already but nothing like a planned program. I'm looking forward to working…

Hi I'm Lisa from Melbourne! Best of luck and feel free to add me :-)

^^^^^^^^ Awesome article, thank you for sharing!! Yay for eating more to lose more. Currently in my second week, no loss yet but no gain either, going to give this body a good chance to readjust!

When I first started running it was all outside, on the beach and I ran weekly with a running club. I was living in West Africa at the time so there was no such things as a gym or treadmill :-) When I moved back to Australia the first thing I did was join a gym because the summers get really hot and I wanted to have access…

Happy weekend to everyone! Just home from my 10km fun run, lots of hills and the weather was really warm so it was not the best run in history but its done. Celebrated afterwards with breakfast out with my boyfriend at our favourite local cafe. Best thing to do after a good workout. Got to try out my new Garmin watch on…

Don’t worry @jomatho by losing weight the "traditional" way you are more likely to keep it off for life. Making a change to your lifestyle through healthy eating and exercise will give you lasting power. Lap banding does work and for some people it’s the only option. My mother-in-law had it done a few years back due to…

Ummm that is a hard one, I'd be partial to say I had something else on and skip it, but I think it would depend on who the person was, what their relationship to you was and whether you really want to have anything to do with them in the future. If there was a big group of friends going you could keep clear of the person…

:flowerforyou: Such and awesome job! Congrats. Im still working on fixing the damage that I did over the long weekend, getting there little by little :-) I had my final bootcamp session this morning, sadly I missed the fitness test from the first week so I cant compare the resutls. Our fitness test is a 1km run and then…

Aussie friends yay! Request sent :smile:

Goals for November: - Train hard 6 days per week - 2x run, 2x cycle, 1x swim, 2x circuit, 2x weight sessions - Complete my first triathlon of the season (500m swim, 20km ride, 5km run) - Attend weightlifting training every week (so my coach doesnt tell me off again!!) - Hit 2000 cal each day - Drop a kg or 2 (or…

Hi all, love this thread! Just catching up after a couple of days away and there is heaps to read! It's Wednesday afternoon here in Melbourne, back at work after a long weekend full of fun, food and wine, wine and more wine. I don’t think any other country in the world that gives everyone a public holiday just for a horse…

Don't wear any new gear (that you haven't tried out already) on race day. I totally agree with this, I have done it twice before, once with a new running top that kept riding up on me the entire way and one with new running leggins which kept falling down. I always wear my old favs for my event runs :smile: Hydrate well…

I have been keeping up with this thread since it started and have found it really refreshing to hear from other people who train hard and enjoy eating. I have had a slack week on the exercise this week, only made 3x 1 hours sessions where normally I would have done 6, heading home straight after work to pick up another…

I'd love to join, this will be my first group on MFP and I have been thinking for a while I really need to up my cal as I have been at a plateau for what seems like forever. I work out at least 6 days a week and train hard, a good mix of circuit, heavy weight training, running and cycling. I have a mental blockage where I…
