And we’re off! 🚀 🚀 🚀
Having dropped 55kg over the last 3 years (without any use of weightloss drugs or surgery) whilst keeping most of my skeletal muscle mass and lean mass, I get questions all the time about #bodyrecompisition 💪🏽
So to save people feeling like they’re annoying me by asking, I decided I’ll document the next 90days of my journey to drop 7% bodyfat 😬 It’s a big goal but all the worthwhile ones are right?
You’re gunna see that it’s not as hard as you’d think but it’s also not as simple, navigating social occasions like Weddings and working late nights - you’ll see it all 👀
So here’s day 1! ☝🏾
Comment anything you want to see / learn / hear / ask along the journey and I’ll do my best to answer them in the videos as I post 📝
Big mihi to @absolute_radiology@push___fitness@wheyd_up@cs_supplements_taranaki_ for the support 🫶🏽

We’re not entirely sure how this will look so we’re open to hearing what you wanna see and know about our daily life 🤷🏽♂️
Ngā mihi 🫡
Somewhere around the start of school term 2 🏫
- that’s when I started DJing in year 11 👨🎓
Standing next to the DJ at our school social I watched intently as he mixed between two vinyl and a desktop computer he had setup with 1000+ songs 📚
Then partway through the night, he gets a phone call, his son had just been taken to hospital on an ambulance and he needed to get up there immediately 🚑
‘You, come here’ he said at me. ‘This goes here, this changes this and if you need to stop - push this one’ and then he hurried off 🏃🏾
That was my introduction 😅
It’s been over 20 years now and I can’t imagine my life not having DJing in it 🙂
I think it’s easy to stand out front and command attention and what’s underrated is the ability to sync into the background and let people have their birthday, their wedding, their festival experience - THEIR moment - whilst just letting yourself be the feature so they can be the main act 🫶🏽
In the beginning I had plans of grandeur; fame, fortune - all that stuff 😱 But as the beard gets more silver I take pleasure in being able to play a small part in other people’s big days ☀️
I often sit back and smile thinking about all the interactions that have been a result of the music I’ve played: first kisses, best friends meeting, babies being conceived - I’m sure you can think of more examples 💭
Shout out to all my DJs, may your audiences be as kind to you as mine has been to me over the years 🤎
Never take it for granted 🎶
Thoughts heavily influenced by attending a wedding by @hepsfx
“Romantic love is fun.
Romantic love is cool.
Yet Romantic love seems to be illusive for soo many.
I talk with a lot of singles about what they want to find, wishes for the future and the rollercoaster of hope that one rides on in pursuit of romantic love.
It’s important to remember that both Faith & Fear equally require you to believe in something you can’t see yet.
If Romantic love is important to you, I pray that you keep having faith that you’ll not just find it like it’s some magical flower that one simply stumbles upon one day BUT instead you plant and nurture romantic love into existence.
I also pray that such faith and nurturing drives away any fear that you have of not having Romantic Love show up.
Romantic love is fun.
Romantic love is cool.
Romantic love is for anyone that wants it and works for it.”
A massive congratulations to Hunter & Janaya on their day. I’ve seen too many weddings played with by drunk uncles, loud aunties and hoha in-laws but you managed to stay the course and make it how you wanted it - super proud of you for keeping true ✊🏾
I’m never far 🤎🤎🤎
The team at @absolute_radiology are hooking it up ⬆️
DEXA scans (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) are fast, low-radiation imaging tests that measure bone density, fat and lean mass 💪🏽
Arguably the most accurate tests you can do when it comes to losing fat and/or gaining muscle ❤️
Along my weightloss mission of losing 55+kg without surgery or injections, these scans have been a pillar in helping me know where I’m going 🏃🏾
The team are so friendly and will explain all the measurements to you, we’re actually going to go through that here with my scans very soon 🔜
For a limited time you can go tell them you saw this post and get 2 scans (one now and 6 weeks or after) for the price of $100 (usually $85 per scan!) 💴
So what are you waiting for? 🤔
Give @absolute_radiology a call now on 06 222 0202 and get yours booked ✅
Two sleeps until we Rise & Rave 🪩💃🏻
We’ve got cold brew coffee (with @boringmilk of course), stunning 10/10 kai from our friends at @theory.food , tunes courtesy of the one and only @hepsfx , hot coffee and vibes with @vibe_container_van and the whole reason we’re coming together… to celebrate the launch of the latest @itsamood_mag 🔥
Phew 😮💨 It’s going to be one hell of a start to a Frideeee, I’ll tell ya that for free.
Where: The Creatives, 3 Davidson Street, NP
When: Friday 1st May, 2026
Time: 7:30am — 9.30am
Since losing 50+kg I’ve learned to be able to do it and still be able to enjoy a few drinks 🍷 🍺
The key to a shit weekend of eating is to not let it become a shit week of eating 😅 🔑
Big mihi to @cs_supplements_taranaki_ x @wheyd_up for the shake, they’re super convenient if you’re ever running around the New Plymouth CBD and need a high protein low cal hit make sure you go get one ✅
@push___fitness Load classes are not only great for a heavy lift but also to check in with the crew on a Monday and yap it about the weekend of sports or whatever else is going on 🏉
Day 8/90 in the bank 🏦

Randomly saw someone asking for some help on Facebook today so u offered some perspective. For anyone else wondering or curious or if you have a friend who needs some help and doesn’t know where to start, feel free to share this with them 🤷🏽♂️
I’m not a doctor, scientist, trainer, nutritionist or Pro - just a bro actually doing the things we know we’re meant to for weightloss 😊
POV: your first time walking into a gym
“Everyone’s fitter than me”
“I don’t want to look silly”
“What if I can’t keep up?”
You’re telling yourself all the reasons not to be there…
You’re overthinking every little thing 😅
But you showed up anyway.
And we get it, and we’ve all been there.
Push is a place where you’re seen, supported,
and reminded you don’t have to be ready..
you just have to start!
You’re guided, supported, and surrounded by people who remember what day one felt like.
He haerenga tēnei — this is a journey.
And we walk it with you.
Download the app (link in bio), grab a 3-class pass, and haere mai,come check us out.
Having dropped over 50kg - I often get asked “What made you stay committed?” and to be honest I never know how to answer that 🤔 One answer though is knowing exactly what needs shifting 💪🏽
Measuring stuff (tracking food and using a consistent scanning system) has been an absolute game changer 🧨
Big thanks to the good people at @absolute_radiology here in Taranaki for helping me stay on top of my goals ✅ They’re gunna be joining us here soon to explain how it all works and give you an offer to sweeten the deal 😉
For now, take a ⏩ swipe ⏩ and take a look at the data and how it’s helped my journey. What I plan to do with this information I’ll be explaining 🔜
