G'day from a 20M Aussie — just dropping in to say hi

[sticky pete]

Spent roughly 2 weeks reading and digging around before deciding it was time to post an intro,

I work as a software dev, so I'm parked on my arse most of the day, which pushed me to finally get serious about my health. I'm 6'4" and was around 110ish kg when I began; a few months on and I've just reached 90kg. That has me EXTREMELY stoked, and it also means I'm officially sitting at a 'healthy' weight for the first time in idek how long.

So, to keep myself from slipping back into old habits, I figured I'd give reta a go and see how it treats me (had I known it was a thing back then, I'd probably have started with it).

No real number in mind for where I want to end up weight-wise, and I haven't set foot in a gym yet either

Either way, keen to chat with you all and swap advice!

GDAY and welcome aboard. If training is something you're thinking about getting into, this place has loads of solid guidance. My suggestion would be to take your time digging through and reading whatever you can get your hands on. The resources here are quality, and the folks are even better when it comes to lending a hand. Wishing you the best of luck!

Cheers mate, I haven't set foot in a gym since around age 14, so there's definitely plenty I need to pick up on that side of things haha

One more Aussie reporting in — can't hold it against Sticky Pete that he's a Sydney NSW man while I'm up on the Sunny Coast in Queensland.

Good to see a handful of us from Australia, so we've got people to bounce ideas off.
