It's always good to read your updates. It gives me hope. It reminds me that this is easier with a team. Keep up the great work.

Always fun to hear the weekly "down under" updates Marty. So glad you include the weight conversions for us. I would never be able to figure it out on my own!

Hi again all my avid followers lol.

hope you both have had a great week.

well that time yet again for my weekly update.

this week I lost .5kgs that's 1.1lbs

so still coming off.

totals
18,6kgs that's 40.92lbs wow that's 40lbs I can't believe that, I'm moving to America so I can lose more lol

still got 30kgs to go 60lbs, would say a long way to go but seeing 40 of that 100lbs has come off in 11 weeks well it will coming in no time.

Have a great week everyone, also please feel free to share your results with me as it will encourage me and others of my fan base hahahahahahahahaha

You are an animal Marty. I love it. My weight is at a slight stand-still, but....... my insulin has gone from 75 units down to 25 units. I am suppose to be 90-120 in the AM, but it has been lower then that the last couple of days so my dr. will probably drop it some more the first of the week.. My diabetes is why I had the surgery in the first place, so it has done it's job. I am down 56 lbs. since Nov 10, 2015. I would like more but am happy with the insulin. You keep up the good work Marty and keep the updates coming for all your avid followers, I think they call them groupies.. haha

Your sense of humor will get you....EVERYTHING! Hang on to it and treasure it, as much as we (your groupies) do!
Before you decide to move to the USA to lose weight, you might want to consider just flying in once a week to weigh yourself. It will give you a chance to slowly acclimate. It takes awhile to get used to water running down the drains clockwise rather than counter-clockwise.
Have a great week Marty and keep up the good work!

I really don't know if I could live without Vegemite

Not happy today, stayed the same, but I suppose no gain so that is a plus. also didn't do a big number 2's this morning so maybe that was it lol

Ratsak,

Thanks for sharing.

This little Aussie is getting a little down.
.1 of a kilo this week, that's .22 of a pound. so last week nothing and this week pretty much nothing, I know I know we will have plateaus, but going through them aint easy. I will just stick at it, on the positive side, in 13 weeks post op I haven't had 1 gain, 1 week which was last week I stayed the same but 12 weeks all loses. but time is my friend and in time I will get there.

9 weeks until my review with my surgeon so hopefully some more weight off for that

have a great week everyone

Hang there little Aussie! Not sure if you have been able to add exercise to your program. If you can get a walk, or a couple of walks in every day it sometimes jumpstarts another streak of weight loss. It doesn't take much. A ten minute walk once (OR MORE) a day will make you feel better all the way around.
I'm rooting for you Marty!
Jo

thanks

I am back painting as a job so on the move all the time. but I do have that feeling inside that I want to run. maybe I should do something.
really down about it all and thinking if I had done the wrong thing getting the surgery, but I bet that's just normal.

have a great day
Marty

Now Little Aussie Marty dear. That sounds like a little whinning there, you know that is not allowed. Don't make me have to come down there and kick your butt up around your eyebrows. Really, you don't realize how much I enjoy your posts. We all have those times and have to whine a little bit. That is allowed.. Have a great new week and Happy Mothers Day. TTFN Mary Lou

Thanks guys. you are great.

some good news, yesterday I had an interview for a 2nd job, in hospitality. they did a phone interview on Saturday and had me down for doing cashier work, then yesterday I had a face to face and as soon as the interview looked at my resume she said i can't understand why they would have you as a cashier (I will do whatever they ask me to do) anyway she asked if i would do a corporate box this saturday night (we have 3 big events on Sat night, one sold out 52,000 and the other 40,000 both are Australian codes of real football our guys don't wear pads and there is no such a thing as an offensive or defensive team each player is out there for 90% of the game plus horse racing so a big night for the city) she also asked me if i could manage a bar as well, probably a good thing I speak English fluently, there were about 15 other people there and I was the only one dressed properly or could speak English, plus I was the best looking one there.

bless you all

Marty

"...plus I was the best looking one there."

Marty, this comment put a huge grin on my face. Keep this thought in your head when you're feeling discouraged. Look back at how far you've come. Plateaus are expected and normal, but that doesn't mean we have to like them, right?

Good luck with the new job and keep on keeping on!

Your friend in the USA,

Marty you go guy go. You will be great cause you feel good in your skin. I'm in your corner. TTFN Mary Lou
