I live in Brisbane, Australia. I'm an Administration Officer for the State Government. I'm only 21 years old and I absolutely love cooking. I learnt from my mother when at a very younge age. I've held over 15 dinner parties. The biggest one I've held was for 16 people, and catered for my own 21st. I know quite a lot about low fat cooking and loosing weight. I lost a total of close to 35kgs. Starting out on my diet I discovered I had galstones which helped me on my weight loss. Now I have gained a lot of information and knowledge about weigh loss and low fat cooking. I'm actually just starting to get into Muay Thai Kick Boxing although I'm just a fan and love going to watch. Also just have to mention my lovely dog Snoopy!
