Hi all
hope you have had a great week. Just an update from down under. this week I dropped 1.5kgs that's 3.3lbs for my non metric friends. so that's 11.5kgs or 25.3lbs since surgery 6 weeks ago.
now here comes the reality/perspective check.
there is a new person on here, and I was able to give them some advice, but it made me realise how far I have actually come. you can read my comments in their thread.
also I realised that in just 6 weeks I have achieved 25% of my weight loss goal, definitely can't complain about that.
have a great week everyone
blessings

Congrats Marty! You're doing good work. You keep us laughing too!
stay safe everyone
.9kg lost that's 2lbs. can't say I am happy at all, but can't do anything about it. weekends seem to be my curse, I eat more through boredom I think and being around food, at work I pack my lunch and it isn't a problem, church will be an issue for me today having lunch after and we will be having pot luck (translated for you citizens of the USA) but main dish will be butter chicken as our Pastors and many in congregation are Indian. I am just worried about old habits.
anyway in other news or should i say NSV my stomach is 10cms or 4 inches smaller and my chest the same.
Have a great Easter Sunday everyone and remember Jesus loves you all, that's what Good Friday was all about and today is about His victory over death
Blessings

Well it is that time again ladies and Gentlemen.
Sundays comes around so quickly and so do my weekly updates, so here is this weeks figures.
I am now 103kgs that's 226.6lbs
this weeks loss 1.8kgs that's 4lbs
total loss 16.4kgs that's 36lbs
Total since surgery 8 weeks ago 14.2kgs that's 31lbs
so sometimes I feel that I am not getting there, but every little step each week adds up and looking at those figures I have to be happy although it does sound better if I use the U.S of A method of calculations, lol
100kgs is a major milestone so that will be goods to reach, this coming Saturday I am off to a party of an old work colleague and many from my old work will be there, so it will be interesting to see what people say.
anyway have a great week everyone
Marty
very disappointing week, but still a loss albeit a small one .3kg/ .66 of a pound.
I did go away for a couple of days for work so routine disrupted. here's to a better week next week
that time yet again.
I am so happy to report this week was a better week weight loss wise lost 1.4kgs which is 3lbs.
so 10 weeks since surgery now and lost 15.9kgs which is 35lbs. I love converting that figure for you guys State side as it sounds so much more lol.
I had phone consult with my dietitian this week and she was really happy with my progress. although I do have to work on my evening meal which i have in the later half of this week.
I have also reduced my antidepressant meds by 1/3 (it was increased after an incident at work so back to old dose)
I hope everyone is well, will report back again next week.
so long from the GREAT SOUTH LAND
