I would love to see other peoples :)

She logged into MFP 1000 days in a row – what happened will AMAZE you
Well “amaze” is a bit a of hyperbole as the results were not that dramatic in comparison to other success stories, but I have logged in for 1000 days today and figured a story would be a good way to mark the day.. I first joined MFP in 2012 when I had recently turned 40 and my lifetime of being allergic to exercise had…

Rollcall for current and active Aussie MFPers
Seeing as it is start of a new year and there is bound to be an influx of new members or old members looking to get started again I thought it would be good to start a new list of current and active Aussie members so new members can find people in the same time zone and use the same measurements (which is not always easy).…

Good intermediate weightlifting program
I am rapidly approaching the end of the Advanced Lifting Program of Strong Curves and am doing some research of what to do next. I have done some of the New Rules for Lifting for Women but it all got too complicated. I know it would be easy to just move into Starting Strength or Strong Lifts but I have concerns that the…

Is weightlifting bad for children?
I have lots of weights around the house and this evening my 8 year picked up some 2kg dumbbells and was having a go, which I totally supported, but her dad told her to put them down as it was bad for children to lift weights.

Vascularity

Pole Dancing Classes?
Today there was a groupon type deal in my local area for pole dancing classes. In a moment of madness I decided that it sounded like a fabulous idea/offer. Now the thrill of the purchase has worn off I am deciding whether to actually do the classes or regift to someone far younger and more flexible than myself. For those…

Week 1 Day 3
Ouch. I didn't want to run today but the girls at work talked me into it. It really hurt :( But the hurtiness was due to a crazy exercise day yesterday where I pushed my body to the limit with non running activities. I could work out what part I hated more - the walking which made my shins hurt or the running which made my…
