THERMOMIX!!!
So I've just ordered a Thermimix and it'll be here in 2-4 weeks. I can't wait for it to show up so I can start to test it out. Wondering if there are any other MFP users out there who want to share low cal/carb recipes. I'm excited to try making my own yoghurt, hummus (and other dips), sorbet, soups and sauces. I'm hoping…

New Study: Aerobic exercise best for fat loss
Any thought on this - it is just focusing on fat loss, so I'm not going to quit lifting heavy anytime soon as I have the goal of being strong.

So work Christmas lunch is coming up and we just received an email about our choice of sundae for dessert. I know what I probably SHOULD be having but probably won't go with the healthy choice.

Australian fast food
Hi there fellow Aussies, Our kitchen is being rennovated at the moment and we've been eating out quite a bit. I'm finding it difficult to find healthy take away options that aren't too expensive.

Rewards for reaching goals - what are yours?
