I'm a big fan of air-popped popcorn. Simple and easy to prepare ahead and put into bags for when I need something!

People that wipe down machines with their disgusting wet, sweaty towels. Do they really think that's making it cleaner??? :noway:

Auckland, New Zealand :smile:

I've been 15 months on MFP and I'm STILL weighing everything I eat even though I'm at my goal weight! I never used to own scales before. I even took them away on holiday with me! I guess I just like knowing exactly how much I'm eating... or I'm completely nuts :bigsmile:

I'm Rachel and I'm hopelessly addicted to Vogel's toast (it's a kiwi thing).

I'll jump in and make it four!! North Shore girl here. :wink:

1. China 2. USA 3. India I'm from tiny little New Zealand so these are three enormous countries I would love to see one day!

When you've had such a big upper body workout that you are too weak to take your sports bra off!! Or your arms are shaking so much it makes it hard to turn the steering wheel on the drive home from the gym.

Lots of us kiwis on here! Welcome :)

I use that same HRM and replaced the batteries recently. It takes a CR2025 battery. Easy to do.

Yep... I'm from Auckland :wink:

Absolutely! I plan a day ahead to work out what I can have and then try my hardest to stick to it. Works well for me anyway

I had this problem with some gym gear I'd just bought. No matter how much I washed them, they still smelt awful. I read something online about soaking them in vinegar and thought I'd try it. Guess what... it worked perfectly. Now I do it all the time and haven't had a problem since. Put stinky gym clothes in a bucket and…

You have just posted exactly how I feel about it too. Not a fan... at all!

Yesterday my boss (who I've always thought had a great figure) asked if she could borrow my body for the weekend and leave me hers to hit the gym with! I thought that was cute. It was a throw-away comment to her but it meant the world to me!

That's that big swanky gym downtown isn't it? I'm a Les Mills member on the shore! Heaps of Next Gen's at my work though.

I can't stand baked beans or tinned spaghetti

I'm from the North Shore in Auckland. Been on here for 275 days so far and MFP has helped change my life in the best possible way!!

Agree on the weights. My back fat was nasty but it's ALL gone now!

I get so red (like furnace red) faced every time I work out hard and although it's calmed down a bit the fitter I've become, it's never gone away! Just something you get used to. Try not to think about it too much and don't let it stop you pushing yourself.

I just did my first 8km race a couple of weekends ago with over 70,000 others! This would have been great to read even though it went really well. I laughed at the de-shoeing comment... I did that to a lady in front of me. She was most annoyed.

Watermelon! Yummo

New Zealand - 2.26pm on Monday!

I have a Polar and have had that happen. It's usually because the strap is too loose so it's not picking up your true HR. I've got a safety pin in the strap now to hold it secure and have had no more problems! See if that helps!

A half-leg full of fantasy insects!!

The Green Mile

Over five years now. Just haven't put myself out there at all :)

Ripe old age of 35

Walk of shame? Hardly, I'd be proudly steppin' out of those old pants, leaving them on the driveway and taking my skinny butt into the house without looking back! Well done on achieving so much - you must be so proud!
