I've requested to join the group too! Bring it on.

My FH and I have agreed that once we're done having kids, I'll have a tummy tuck and a boob job. I'm currently a small B cup so I'd like to go up to an average C. That's probably a decade or so away though!

SW: 83.4kg (184lb) in August 2011 CW: 74.9kg (165lb) GW: 65-70kg (143-154lb)

Oh, you've got green eyes, Oh, you've got blue eyes, Oh, you've got grey eyes, And I've never seen anyone quite like you before, No, I've never met anyone quite like you before. New Order's 'Temptation'. One of the best songs EVAR.

I love rules. Mine are: - I only drink water and milk - no caffeine (this is more for my headaches than anything else) - no fast food (I don't care if it's from the "healthy" Maccas range, I'm not eating it) - no alcohol

I have a 40oz water bottle on my desk. And I drink two of them during the work day. I also pee a lot at work :)

The Smashing Pumpkins (2010) - they hardly played any of their popular songs, and Billy was an absolute *kitten* the whole way through. For the encore, everyone thought they'd finally play "Tonight Tonight", but instead Billy played a 15 min guitar solo. Wanker.

4.5km run, 4.5km walk.

I create a new "my exercise" entry for each week of C25K, and rejig the time to suit the correct cals burnt if it varies a bit over the week (I wear a HRM).

I live just down the road (well, highway) from you! Near Meredith / Lethbridge. Anybody and everybody, feel free to add me :)

Mine is set to lose 2lbs a week, and I'm losing between 1.8-2.2lbs a week. With that setting, I am on 1200 cals a day, but I exercise a fair bit and eat back most of my exercise cals so I'm rarely hungry. The only tough days are my rest days when I have to stick to 1200 total cals. ETA: oops, sorry I thought the topic was…

If you do this every day, I wouldn't count it as exercise. Instead I would set your diet profile to "very active".

I am loving salads right now as it's summer here. My current favourite is a Thai prawn salad Prawns Shredded cos lettuce Red onion Capsicum (bell peppers) Cucumber Bean shoots Coriander (cilantro) Dressing: - Lime juice - Fish sauce - Sweet chilli sauce - Tiny bit of palm sugar

Alan Rickman. Mmmmm....

Short run and a 75 minute walk

I used to eat the same thing for dinner every night, and I loved it! Mine was a cup of wholemeal pasta with a sauce made from 150g chicken breast, two diced tomatoes, diced half an onion, spinach leaves, mushroom and some EVOO. I had to cut out almost all processed foods, and it was easy to just stick to the one meal once…

Yes, you really see results. And it's only about 20 mins of a workout, plus warmup and cooldown. I've already seen results in 10 days. ---- I had to have a break today. My knees are so sore from L2D1. I'll attempt it again on Sunday and if it hurts again, I'm going to have to bow out, unfortunately.

Sorry, but I don't feel qualified to give out medical advice, especially as I don't know anything about your injuries :)

I was naughty. I jumped ahead to Level 2 (I should be on L1D9 but it just wasn't challenging me and I was losing interest). I didn't find L2 THAT bad... I had to have a few breathers doing the plank jumps, and the cheerleader things really hurt, but it was ok! I love being covered in sweat at the end of it. It is much…

Yes, yes, and yes.

She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart and Marilyn Manson - Angel With The Scabbed Wings

Yay, isn't it great?! Well, annoying but great. The same thing is happening to me now too.

Ahh ok, thanks for clarifying, guys! Bugger about it being so tough, but I am up for the challenge. I Three more days of L1, then I'm onto L2!

Urgh, you guys aren't filling me with confidence for level 2!! I did L1D6 today and I'm breezing through it now. I also sneakily took my measurements, and I've already lost about 5 inches all over, which I'm amazed about. Not much weight loss though, which I expected.

I did L1D3 today, and I’m finding that it’s starting to get easier. The only thing that really hurts still is the anterior raises. 1/10th of the way through!

You should be easily able to find one in your price range. I have the Polar F4 and that now retails for under AU$100. Look online for the best deals. Also, the strap is worn under the bust, so you shouldn't have any problems there!

I started day 1 today too! I found the cardio bits really easy, but the strength... my gosh, the strength. Already I am struggling to lift my cup of tea to my mouth, so tomorrow's pushups are gonna suck.

Daft Punk's Discovery or Alive albums are my faves right now. Also, there are a few 2manyDJs mix sets that run for around an hour each that you can find online - they're great if you like house music/mashups. And Slipknot's Vol. 3 (Subliminal Verses) is awesome too if you like metal.

Rice. I could eat it plain for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and I did when I lived in China).

The Lion King - I have to fast-forward past the bit where Simba's dad dies :(
