Aargh So so long between logins. I'm back on due to being out of any action. Lost my job and been off work in any case the last couple of months due to post op wounds not healing. Things are looking up but.

Finally,.. I'm Back. Drama with the film and my daughter being born has kept me head down and bum up the last few months. So I am very very sorry. What's going on with everyone?

Merry Xmas Perth Rebels

Borat like! .. errm Tag or Paintball sounds awesome

It was really good meeting you all last night and please excuse my partial deafness.

Lupus. I can. Picking up or Dropping off? calll me pls 0468387897

In like flynn

If it's D3 I'm in Hay Street so Lupus may have to make his own way there but I can take him back. Probably Rachy out to Jane Brook

that is fair, hitlionsoul, very very fair. Plus Lupus has no excuse he lives less than 2 kilometers from my house

or maybe not,.. I am guilty of skimming just about everything these days. Rachy87 when are you back from HBA?

LOL,.. mmm rethink then

Monday December 1 Sounds good. My intention is to have the day off that day anyway.

Well that seems like a sort of consensus is coalesing around weeknights. Good. Monday and Tuesday nights work better than Wed-Fri

It's only right I get into the swing of things and tag along..So, the question is,.. When?

Sorry i've been so absent folks, but I have returned. Has anyone met up from NF in Perth in real life yet?

Just seeing if there are folk out here in the Perth and the west that are Rebels and maybe looking at doing something. Just testing the waters so to speak, see if anyone's interested

Know the feeling bro. Weighed myself last night from the last weigh in with the doctors 15 days previous. From just over 2 weeks ago I'd lost another Six kilos. Changing the battery in it as I think it must be broken.LOL

Hey. Know how you feel. Came back to Australia from a nice high paying job in Asia with the high life to only to live like a peasant again. I packed on six kilos in the six weeks after I got back in September 2011. Kept on climbing with the fact you go everywhere in a car here. Intermittent employment in shitty jobs has led to a rotating two weekly contract that while nice paying, is lousy for any long term job security with a family. Not a day would go by without me wondering "why I'd brought us back here?". Turned around eight weeks ago after cancelled gastric sleeve surgery in September 2013 and went to my new doc near my new house, who said he hated the idea of me gettng it now and wanted to try everything else. I was so ashamed of my weight when the doc weighed me I begged him to not tell me. I was put on meds, a week later I bought them and a few days after that, started using my Jetts membership which I hadnt touched since 2012 (yah I know Gyms are dumb n stuff if you use them wrong. Love the free weights section, but have loads of injuries to spine so supported stuff is vital at times, while I'm rebuilding my strength) That was 11 kilos and 25lbs ago. I had knee pain from the work induced Sciatica that bordered on needing Diazepam and Panadeine/Codeine just to get through the day without writhing agony has gone. My chest pains have gone. At Xmas I was on Crutches having come down an escalator rushing for a train and tore the meniscus in my knee I was moving that fast with that much weight slamming onto my knee. It still hurts but not like it used to..Hell Yesterday.. I RAN to the train... UP a set of Stairs, DOWN another set of stairs, through the turnstile and across the platform into and through the closing doors of a Perth commuter train... everyone on the train smiled! What I've done is not the strictest form of thing going on here. I run my life by these two precepts. On exercise, Something is better than Nothing. On Diet, Nothing is better than anything. It is always best to stick to the plan you have and the regime you follow for your diet. But in moments of temptation or weakness, this has been my hail mary pass. This doesn't solve my long term career prospects. I have a skill set useful throughout the world and quite well paying but not in my homeland. But now, I have a plan. I have a purpose. I'm not dwelling on the negatives. Worst comes to worse I will go back overseas to support my family, but that is last ditch. LOL My plan B has a Plan B If you are determined, you will prevail. Nothing like the fight of your life to sharpen the senses and the drive to victory. Everyday you get up, do something, be itj ob exercise diet or ideally all three, you are one day closer to ultimate victory. Keep fighting the good fight.

I'm not gonna give you any advice beyond these two axioms I've observed since I started this journey eight weeks and 11kgs/25lbs ago On Exercise: Something is better than nothing On Diet: Nothing is better than anything I'm not saying it's right. Indeed In terms of your health stick to palaeo and keep your supplies up at all times. But as long as you have the energy deficit going on, more energy burned than consumed, it will keep coming off. Keep kicking butt

"Last year I decided that I wanted to be fit and attractive. " I don't know you, but please, I am utterly certain you are already attractive. It's a myth that a person needs to be fit in order to be attractive. It's not a myth that being fit will make you feel more confident, stronger and more assertive. Change your mindset and you will begin to see things in a different light. Attitude is Altitude. You are already attractive. It exists inside you.All women are. What you want is the physical fitness to KNOW what is inside you is true. You sound like you're on your way. Keep fighting the good fight

Nice to see another Aussie on board for the big win

Welcome aboard and welcome to the fight. Always good to see another Aussie on board..
