Women's Health & Fitness

This was great training for those who wants to lose weight and with a compassion to give their earnings to charity. Thanks for giving this information. I will just check first on the sites provided.

Anyone in Perth?

I am new to this, excited, scared - does this mean no more connoisseur vanilla ice cream?

Really keen to hear back from someone who's currently in the challenge!

Hi!

Good luck!  Just started the challenge too, good luck!

Hi Shii1,

good on you!  I too have recently started my 12 week challeng, 10 weeks 4days to go!  Go Girl!!

Hi - I'm new to the boards.  Have a patchy diet history; was underweight and had a lot of "disordered eating" behaviours in my late teens/early twenties. Then got healthier, and gained weight, but in the last couple years since the birth of my daughter two years ago have been sitting in the overweight-obese borderline range on BMI.  Want to get my weight back to healthy, but want to do it in healthy ways, without sliding back into old patterns. 

Hoping for help, support, and some accountability.  Have set myself a 12-week goal of losing 8-10 kg.  Still working out ways to fit in exercise with full time work and mothering, but will keep you posted and hope to get some ideas through these boards.

Congrats - I also just clicked start challenge!

I am still deciding whether to go to a gym or use the homegym in the apartment..

I say following the exercises in the magazines are always good...

Good luck! - see you at the finish line!

Hi all,

I started my 12 week challeng last Saturday (1 week ago)  and I am  seriously determined to take on this challenge but  I've caught the flu (from my caring, sharing husband).  Not wanting  to be out of action for too long, can anyone advise me on suppliments and when I can safely return to training?

Hi there everyone,

My name is Nicole from Melbourne. I have just joined a gym, not for weight loss as i need to put on weight but more for building my strength and fitness level and possibly putting on weight if i can.

Would love to get in contact with any other Melbourne people or people from Craigieburn as that is where I live who are in a similar situation

Hi Gem,

Your story is definitely inspirational and we're so glad to see you're inspiring others to take control of their health and fitness. It can be so tough to find the time and energy to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but if you can do it, then anybody can!

WH&F :)

I have 4 weeks and 2 days to go, my last 2 weeks have been a bit meh, last week I kept up my running and a few walks, but only did one weights session, then this week I had the dreaded period, and all hell broke loose, over eating major problem no motivation!!!

Im 42 and I am nearly recuperated from a ankle reconstruction (thanks 34 years of netball).  Hell, I miss netball so much i can't even watch it on TV without getting upset.

However, I now have a new obsession.  I love doing weight training, HIIT, and eating all the good stuff.

I am a disciple (ha ha) of Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle process, for me its makes awesome sense and no silly promises or miracle cures etc. 

I joined this particular forum as I hope for it to be very diverse, informative and to expand my thoughts on working out and eating right. 

I look forward to reading your opinions and ideas, giving me constantly fresh approaches to maintain and strenthen my lifestyle.  I can always keep learning. 

Hi Gem!

I read your article and I know what you mean! I work in the mines also in the Hunter Valley, but i am lucky enough to work close to where i live, but I totally agree it is so hard to find the motivation to work out or go for a run when you have just finished a 12.5 hr slog. I find the best way for me to integrate exercise into my roster is to get up at 4.30am before a day shift and go for a run, because after work i just want to relax and then i can just worry about eating well. When im on night shift i sleep a bit less so i get up a bit earlier in the afternoon and go to the gym for a good workout which wakes me up and gets me pumping for the night.

Here's luck working out a system that works for you! Its nice to know someone else faces the same kind of challenge!! 

Hi Gem

your  story inspired me lots, I thought if you can work those long hours & train I can do this too. I have started the blitz with a shoulder injury but have clearance from my Dr & Physio so I'm not without my challenges either. It will be nice to keep in touch & track progress with each other...cheers

Hi Lisa,

Good luck to you, you can do it! just with a proper diet and exercise, you can shred off that fat.
