Green Book. Went with my mother-in-law, really loved the movie. I was probably the only person in the theatre under the age of 35 😂

I'm so excited for my holidays this year! - two weeks camping in outback South Australia with my family at Easter - 5 days with my girlfriends in spa and wine country near Melbourne in June (Daylesford for the Aussies) - 9 days in Vanuatu in July with my family Then it'll be a long, hard slog til Christmas 😂

It's officially February here in Oz, and I'm so proud that I only had a single glass of wine for the entire month of January! Compared to December where I easily would have drank 8+ bottles :# Onward and upward! (except on the scales ;) )

So sorry to read about your pupper :'( If you're tech savvy, there are apps that turn walking/running into games - 'The Walk' and 'Zombies, Run!' can both be used while walking. I guess even 'Pokemon Go' would give you an excuse to get out and about too.

That app looks awesome, @cupotea ! I had my first glass of wine on Wednesday for the year - I had lunch with a girlfriend to celebrate her birthday. Even after one drink, I could feel that voice in my head saying "you want more" but I ignored it. Hopefully I can last another 20+ days before my next tipple.

Mine is liquid.... wine. All it takes is one glass, then I start rummaging in the fridge and I don't stop. But I'm working on mindful moderation this year, allowing one drink here or there without sidetracking my progress.

Workout gear is practically the mum uniform in Australia - we're all about comfort, apparently. I've been to the supermarket in my pyjamas before, so I'm not one to judge :D

'You must be a good swimmer with your webbed toes' (they're cute-webbed, not freaky-webbed, I promise... and yes, I am a good swimmer ;) )

I've got a body composition scan in early March, and I want to be down at least 5kg from my previous scan results (3 month period).

I use a chest strap + Polar A300, and I trust it for cardio (but not weights). I don't eat back exercise calories, generally. I'm a bit suss on wrist-based measurements, but I'm sure they're accurate enough.

Great brows!

The week before my period, I am an eating machine and crave sugar and carbs. Then once it starts, my hunger dies right off and I'm barely hungry. It all averages out so I eat when I need to, and try to make smarter choices around what I eat (plus drinking a HECK of a lot of water to fill me up).

There are two Spotify playlists I play to death: - Nu Metal Generation (all NWOAHM) - One More Rep (mix of heavy rock and metal)

Country Victoria here... dunno about "gorgeous time of year", I'm melting!

I'm going on a family holiday to a tropical island in July, and I want to feel confident standing against my SIL, who rocks a bikini after two kids.

I cannot stand the smell or taste of coffee.... so I get my caffeine in my preworkout.

1hr back and shoulders, I upped my weights today so pray for me tomorrow. - lat pulldowns, seated rows, Arnold press, trap raises, single arm DB rows... and I'm forgetting something else.

I'm going AF for a month or two too - currently 8 days in, and starting to finally not crave it. Summer is the hardest time, because the weather is great and I want to sit outside sipping a cider, but there's a reason why I gained back the 15+kg I had lost.... damn booze :s

Cotton On Active Core leggings. They're an Australian brand, but apparently it's available in the US - I have stopped buying my $100+ leggings and now exclusively wear these. They flatten your tummy, never ride down, squat proof... love them!

I'm from country Vic!

Me too! I'm an Aussie mum, love weight lifting, currently cutting.

I am exactly the same! Mid-30s Aussie mum, on the constant gain>lose>gain cycle, but trying to make this one stick.

I've got a 2yo and am about to give birth to my second in nine days time - can't wait to start losing weight again and hopefully get to goal! I want to lose 15-20kg from where I am right now (39 weeks pregnant). I'll add you all now!

Lisa, I swear the guidelines change weekly here (Australia)! Or maybe it's just who you speak to? I see a different midwife at every appointment, and if I listened to all of their advice, my head would probably explode from the contradictions! Currently 32+3 weeks, and am sitting 0.5kg above my pre-pregnancy weight…

There is the Fit, Fabulous and Pregnant group - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1903-fit-fabulous-pregnant Feel free to add me too, I'm 29 weeks and keeping track of my weight gain and exercise here :smiley:

Everywhere, but I first notice a loss on my wrists and my neck/face.

Right now it's thighs. Ask me when I'm not pregnant and it's probably stomach.

I am all of the above (stressed, tired, in pain) - working 50hrs a week, 7mo pregnant, plus a toddler who doesn't sleep. Logging religiously is the one thing that keeps me on track. As soon as I fail to log one thing (especially things that I know will blow out my cals for the day), it's all over, red rover. It's taken me…

Awesome work, ladies! I'm currently 26+3, and have gained just shy of 2kg (4.4lb). I'm loosely following the gestational diabetes eating plan and counting calories to maintain my weight (doc has OKed it, as I am overweight, BMI was closer to the obese end than normal weight). Really hoping to keep my weight gain to a…
