The Smarter Science of Slim
A few friends have been asking me how I have lost weight. I admit, the first couple of months I was floundering around with counting calories and went gung-ho into the gym. And I must say, I was enjoying it, I certainly wasn’t grinding my teeth every day, I was really loving being healthy again. I listened to podcasts from…

GOAL SETTING - before you start
A lot of challenge programmes fast forward over goal setting but I think it's one of the most important things we need to do. Without a goal, how do you know where you are headed? Without reasons WHY you want to reach that goal, what is going to stop you giving in when it gets tough or when someone offers you a (insert…

Max's Muscle Up / Maxine's Shape Up Challenge 2013
Hi fellow Aussies! I was just wondering if anyone is thinking of doing, or has pre-registered for the Max's or Maxine's 2013 Challenge? If you watch Max's Muscle TV, they had a one hour special on it last week, and you can also watch it from the link on the website if you missed it. It's a good show - or at least I like it…

44yo needs to lose 22kg - how many cals do I eat?
Well, I am not sure how I am feeling today.. I'm going to type this in my blog and then maybe post on the IPOARM thread for advice. Please don't think I am being negative - I am super positive about my new hobby (me) and determined to get to my goal by next summer - which gives me 9 months to do so (I'm Australian). I may…

Anyone in Sydney going to the Easter Show?
And if so, is there ANYTHING relatively healthy to eat there?? I seem to remember being able to get prawns and salad in the Woolworth pavilion, but other than that, I'm just picturing hot dog stands and hot chips... bleuch... It's not like I am saying that I can't have hot chips. I really have NO desire to eat poorly.…

The 7 Primal Movements
Spartan_Maker mentioned these in another thread (Cardio doesn’t burn fat), which got me into the search function to see what else he’d written and then straight off to the master of the universe (google) looking them up. I mean, sure, I’ve heard of the Seven Deadly Sins before (and pretty much have some of them down to a…
