Shellitz

Once people get to know me in the workplace I don't hold back admitting I have them. And that I like heavy metal music. because once I am already working there, and they are already happy with my work it would make it really hard for them to treat me any different without it being obvious that it is over the lifestyle…

Don't give up - I have started incorporating it into my weekly workouts. I have done week one a couple of times as I was interrupted with a hip sprain. I will do week one until I feel comfortable with it and can do it easily before moving onto week two. And then, same thing if it takes me 3 weeks to really settle into the…

I am a fan - I have 5 myself, and would definitely consider getting more. I personally prefer to keep them in places where they can be 'put away' when necessary. By no means am I ashamed of having them, quite the opposite I am a big advocate of the fact that having tattoos and piercings does not at all mean that a person…

Mine is 6'3" - I have a theory that if there's a little shorty they need a tall partner, because SOMEBODY has to be able to reach the higher shelves at the supermarket!!!!! HAHAHA My mum is the same, she is shorter than me and her hubby is 6'2"...it's just a thing!

i love Spongebob too - who wouldn't love to live in a pineapple under the sea! And I just want to give squidward a big hug and tell him it'll be ok haha.

I am up for the activity challenge - would love to include both minutes and cals burned, that gives us two focus points and anyone that is carrying any injuries or is still working on building their fitness can still comfortably participate in some low end acticity but still aim for a minute goal :) I'm pumped!

I'm two for two so far (yay lol) took a spin class last night, first time I have done one in ages and boy...I feel like I've been kicked in the butt...literally!

Can I suggest we open a Vertical Challengers Recipe Thread? I find i go through fads where I find something good and I make it every week and my fiance gets sick of it and I'm not allowed to cook it anymore! haha. There are so many of us shorties here that I am positive we have a load of recipes between us :) And a…

Confession time - I had a BAD weekend food wise. It was our football grand final and my team was in. We lost, but it was a big drinking and nibbling day on Saturday. Plus, the beginning of daylight savings here on Sunday meant bbq dinner with friends. Thankfully I steered clear of the bread but the meat wouldn't have been…

You know it's bad when you reach for a choc chip muffin for breakfast! F**k it! Oh well looks like I have to go for a Friday night run haha.

Pump Classes are awesome. Don't be scared off after your first class, you will be sore. But I promise promise promise it is no where near as bad the second time. Absolutely worth pushing through for the results. I hate doing weights just at the gym, I find it really boring, so pump is the only way I get any weight trainig…

Your kids will love watching their mum transform into the happy butterfly she deserves to be :) I used to fall to convenience food because I convinced myself that I din't have time to cook a fresh meal every night. It was easier to pull something out of the freezer and slap it in the oven. I am slowly getting better at…

OOoh I love our new home :) Ok - mini bio: I'm 29 and living in Melbourne, Australia. I am 5 ft even and don't have a lot of room to store excess weight (like every single one of us!). I'm currently at 61.5 kilos and it's the pits. I would love to start a family soon and I don't want to add baby weight ON TOP of my largest…

Update - my osteo took a look at it last night, looks like I have strained a tendon in my hip joint. Well that's what she is hoping it is. Other option is that there is a tear in either one of the tendons or in the hip capsule, which would be bad. Treatment so far is anti inflammatory tablets and to try to be kind to it to…

Thanks MissD, hopefully it's good news tonight. Nothing some antiinflammatories can't fix. All of my fingers and toes crossed!

DEVASTATED :( I have started doing the C25K and had just finished week one. Was sitting on my bed and knelt up to reach for something, knelt back down and my hip made the loudest popping sound I have ever heard! Now all of my joints make noise, I am a bit bendy and used to my hips, knees, elbows and shoulders making…

ok testing my banner adding skillz....

count me IN for 3 pounds in a month :)

I'm just scraping in at 5ft as well! Very frustrating when you see things like "wow I lost 1.5kg this week"... when that is a whole freaking dress size for us!!! I look at my 7kg total loss goal and think far out why do I struggle to even lose one! Must admit I've had a really bad run heath wise over the last 4-5 months…

Yeah JBT are pretty good. I find them seasonal though - I think of their stuff as "summer bbq" music...haha! Hot sun, beer in hand!

Donate some - but ebay some too - to fund new skinnier clothes :)

Love them all to pieces :) We don't get them touring that often in Australia but when they do come here it's like Christmas :) I never miss a show I finally saw Rob last summer and it was unreal! Finally ticked him off my live wishlist :D

I am more a metal/industrial listener too - I have found the best workout music for me is from Rob Zombie, Static-X (GREAT jogging/eliptical paced music) Nine Inch Nails and Prodigy. Static X relly kicks my *kitten* for a workout :)

Hands down any movie made by Rob Zombie. House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and the remakes of Halloween and Halloween 2. G R E A T movies :) Rob is a star And a few more of my faves: All of the Hannibal Lecter movies (Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising), Paranormal Activity 1 & 2, Let…

I downloaded the app and some podcasts last night - planning to start this weekend. I am a little scared but being brave after reading how much success other MFP's have had with it. I have always wanted to 'be good' at running as I much prefer to exercise alone to zone out and clear my head. Fingers crossed my bravery…

I am terrible at eating breakfast. I have always struggled with 'the most important meal of the day', even as a kid. I find that the absolute only way I can at least have something is to have an Up & Go breakfast drink. I opt for the Up & Go Vive line as its a lot less cals than the original line. Lazy - but the thought of…

I would like to have a similar shape somewhere between Ellen Page and Kristen Bell. I can't go for the towering beauty - cos I'm only 5'0"! Kristen's great, healthy looking.

I started on Tuesday but broke my scales! Lol I didn't break them myself but they are faulty and have returned for a replacement. So I guess I'll weigh in when I have them in my house again :blushing: Probably good to give myself a couple of weeks to begin with anyway cos I can be a bit of an obsessive weigher which has…

Hi :wink: I am in vic too

I am a shortie - just scraping in at 5' :happy: Struggled to loose weight in the past - this is my first week on MFP and fingers crossed I will start actually seeing some reults!
