Welcome! :)

Seems we now have a bodygroup forums up and running! How good is this! :D So much better than the 'comments' section!

So - this is the thread for the 'intro stuff'. Which means please feel free to post a little about who you are, where you are in the world, what it is you do, what you are passionate about, and where you want to go!

Good luck and have fun!

My name is Paul, live in Australia near Canberra, been here for 20yrs.....was fit back in high school but joined the public service and slowly declined from there....about 15yrs ago had a kick up the pants as I wanted to go skydiving but was too heavy so startes gym and MRP dropping 15kg in 3 weeks (115 to 100).....I now weigh in at 135kg......time to fix it properly now.

Have changed my approach to food, I don't need to it just because its there! Also doing cardio as a minimum on work out days however I have discovered that going for a walk up the side of a hill during lunch at work is equivalent to 30min on the bike!! Workout is split program Monday, Wed, Frid and Sat doing legs/calves, back/biceps/ab, chest/triceps, shoulders/abs respectively. I am two weeks down and loving it, not big gains (or loses) but feel better.

Love to meet the rest you!

Hey guys... we got a forum so lets use it hey?

My name is Leslie Dingo, born and bred in Western Australia. I work for Rio Tinto Iron ore ( Dirty work ) and im a part time Australian Soldier. I was pretty fit when i was about 17 then slowly setted into life and packed on quite alot of fat... And only really started working it off at the start of the year and weight lifting as well.

During the winter i was bulking and now that summer time is around it's time to cut and show that six pack lol ( well see ). But nah i love body building its great and ill be doing it for years to come.

My name is Kim. Just joined BB.com a couple of days ago. Have started clean eating and exercise after many years of neglecting my body and self. My goal is to wear a bikini at Christmas time so wish me luck... It is going to take an awful lot of dedication to get there! Here begins my transformation. As I read somewhere on BB.com "HARD WORK = HARD BODY!"

Hey Kim - welcome to bb.com and to the Aussies on line Group! :)

Where about's in the Land down under are you?

Hi Emma-Leigh (and everyone). I live in Canberra. Only started exercising just over a week ago. Already quite addicted and loving it! Of course, I can't see any results yet but I expect them to come at some time. I read somewhere that I should begin to see noticeable results sometime after week 9 or so.

I have been researching Crossfit here and am going to try it out on Sat morning. I hope to emerge alive at the end of it - I hear it is a killer :-)

Anyone else been involved with Crossfit or heard much about it?

Hey Kim - I have been doing / prescribing cross fit TYPE workouts for many years now... there are certainly some good things about it (and also some very bad things about it too). It is all a matter of your goals, your basic understanding/ knowledge and training status at the moment, and who/where and how you train.

Good to see you getting stuck into things though - and congratulations on making the move toward health!! :) Keep going and stay consistent and I am sure you'll see results soon!!

Hey everyone! Anyone here from the north shore, sydney?
