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

You're doing great Marty. The best cure for "tired" is eat more protein and REST! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on your progress! It is not surprising that you got sick eating toast and a banana as they are both high in carbs and sugar. These slow down the shedding process as well. Remember to wait 1/2 hour to have your tea as well. Joannanotti is right, protein would be the best. Stick with healthy eating and you will reach your goals in no time!
