Re: First weeks in Cairns
They have already had one work reference back.......and there were 3 people to contact, so 2 more to go!!!
The Project Manager from the Water Corporation in Perth was the reference they have had......and apparently the agency woman said it was excellent
God I wish I could just book the flights today!!!!

Re: First weeks in Cairns
I know it's crazy..it is a kickstart to healthier eating and I am purely doing it to get weight off quick for the damn austrlian visa medical..otherwise there is no way I would have done it. I have got round to thinking now though that if they don't want me because I am just over B.M.I then it is their loss!! I have all the skills, a job lined up, and every intention of staying in Oz but weight seems to be an issue, even though I walk 6 miles a day with the dog and am not unhealthy..always been sporty and biggish build anyway.
That is the only reason I am doing it. used to be a personal trainer so know how to lose weight gradually..which I will when I have kick started it with this...already my bad food cravings are disappearing and had no alcohol for 3 weeks!

Re: First weeks in Cairns
Have you checked with the makers of the product whether they advise you to do this diet before blood tests.
The only reason I ask is because a friend of mine was on one of these diets and she was advised not to have a blood tests because it does something wierd to the blood, not sure what though.
Just if it came back in your tests though dont know if it would cause a problem.

Bloody BMI rubbish. Just another excuse for the medical industry to categorize people and sell them crap because they are outside a certain zone. Have you noticed how every year they keep lowering the reference points for glucose and cholesterol? Cholesterol of 4.1, better take these tablets to keep it down...hang on, last year the reference point was 5.5, why last year was I fit and healthy and this year, because YOU moved the upper reference value, I need to take tablets to lower my cholesterol.?!!!! (OK it's not quite that bad but you get my meaning.)

BMI evolved in the 50`s I think, the chamge in body mass to now averagely is not comparable when I was at school ( if I can remember
) we had acouple of kids in the year above 6 foot we thought they ere giants now its more of a standard, with changes in body size evolving BMI is bull s@@@tIm still a lard arse though

Re: First weeks in Cairns
Are you quite sure? HERE
I don't really want to go to canada..certainly won't be after seeing that!! I am only interested in oz and if that goes tits up then will buy a business here down South..but just don't want to be in this country full stop!!
Who would wait 5 years..not me. I think if you make a decision for a big change it has to be done with great thought but not over that long!
