I use Bulk Nutrients or Venom, both quality and from Australia with fast shipping and taste good :)

Definitely

I pay $20.95 a fortnight for all all casses and 24 hour gym access but my gym is a fairly small chain with most gyms located in country Vic. Definitely worth it IMO I go in late at night quite often.

Yeah protein is crucial for your muscles and as you use them a lot more when exercising you need to consume more protein, it's all good though protein is great for the body! the most important of your macros in my opinion, especially when exercising.

You look great if you ask me but if you want to tone them up, squats! and more squats! :)

Adding stuff to coffee? Noooooooo! Black, no sugar is the only way to go, can't dilute that coffee flavour! :)

There are plenty of times where I don't really feel like exercising but I know it can be a slippery slope from "I'm only going to miss one day, it won't matter" to that happening more and more regularly. Best thing to do is find exercises you really enjoy, then it doesn't feel like a chore.

Day 1: Heavy weights, DL, Squat, Bench etc. Day 2: Cardio rowing, HIIT, total body elliptical Day 3: Heavy weights, DL, Squat, Bench etc. Day 4: Rest Day 5: Heavy weights, DL, Squat, Bench etc. Day 6: Cardio rowing, HIIT, total body elliptical Day 7: Heavy weights, DL, Squat, Bench etc. Day 8: Rest And then repeat.

Pretty chilled Aussie, I'm online every day if anyone is keen for more friends :)

Log it, it's hard to have a day that is that bad that would even ruin an entire week let alone do any damage to your loss, still have to have fun :)

"You worry about your body and I'll worry about mine"

Haha MotoGP weekend is insane down here, I actually went away for the weekend last year to get away from it all for once

I've lost 26kg's so far since joining MFP, it's by no means the sole reason for my loss though but it's good to be able to plan my days food and know how many calories I am consuming

Yeah sorry may have put that a bit more enthusiastically than I should have, strength gains have been quite huge personally (on squat, DL, Bench) but as far as muscle goes I'm sure there has been some but at the same time it may just be becoming more defined as I lose weight.

Haha low-carb/hgh-carb doesn't affect my mood in any way...... coffee on the other hand though, that's a different story ;)

You can do both at the same time, essentially you'll be building muscle and decreasing your body fat, so far I have lost 26kg's and certainly gained plenty of muscle along the way through most of my exercise being heavy weights coupled with a high protein diet. Still eating at a deficit to lose fat which means the muscle…

Not so much for night snacks but I find myself banking calories through the week for times when I know I'll be going out on a weekend to a restaurant or to a bar/club for a few beers.

What actually counts as low carb? I eat minimal amounts of carbs at the moment (between 80-150g a day) and find it works for me really well. Still have days where I have more than that obviously if I have a few beers or something but 95% of the time I keep it low-ish.

Squat, Deadlift, Bench press are all your friends :)

Finding nice looking clothes that fit, for blokes at least all clothes that are XXXL and above all seem to just be sloppy and boring so it makes it hard to find something good to wear out.

Yeah me too, well sort of! Down on the coast closer to Phillip Island :)

Haha yeah young is a pretty vague term, I'm 27 from Melb and consider myself young still :P

If I listed all the anime I watch I'd be here all night lol, but it's a LOT! Have been a huge fan for many years, favourites probably being DB/DBZ, Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood, Death Note, Naruto, AoT etc.

Main thing is clothes are getting looser which means you must be shrinking in some places, personally I don't weigh myself all that often and weight can fluctuate quite a lot, maybe take measurements regularly instead of just looking at a scale? Losing cm's from around the waist/legs/arms is an even better feeling than…

Another vote for Bulk Nutrients, those guys are amazing, favourite flavours are choc mint and cookies and cream, delicious! Quest bars are good but they are definitely an expensive protein source either way you go about it, but as s substitute for a chocolate bar it's hard to go wrong! Cookies and cream (I see a pattern in…

I'm from near Melbourne, happy to have more Aussie friends, saves me bringing the calculator up every time someone measures in pounds ;) haha

Definitely add some weight/resistance training to your program, immensely helpful for weight loss :)
