Ummmm .... how can I put this so as to not get myself banned ...

Got it!!!

Think of it like 'doing the washing' - you know when both of you are involved, and theres heaps to wash, and hangout, and fold and it's hot, heavy, wet work.
Nothing like when you've only got half a load to do though, so you do it by hand!!!

ROFLMFAO!!!

Its all good & thanks MR..... It helps to keep thing on track......

If you need things moved just or deleted just say the word mate, one of us will work with you & tidy things up.

How is everyone finding it?
I went for a good walk tonight - 3.8km in 36mins, which i was pretty happy with :)

The most difficult thing i find it what to have for dinner, especially after exercise.
Any ideas what is best to have (or best to avoid)?

If you read back a few pages, Bigrig has given us a wealth of info. That should be a start.

Going good. Have a bit of a head start coz I started about 6 weeks ago. Like a couple of others, shift work doesn't help.
You get thrown right out of routine with eating and sleeping habits, not to mention your social life.

The good thing is, that we're here to support each other in our time of need.

Keep up the great work with your walking.

Take care out there.

Going well also - finding as expected that I'm getting hungry in between meals, so grabbed some of those Atkins snack bars - high protein, but bugger all carbs ... they seem to do the trick!

Yep had a few cravings today,

Giving up sugar for me is like giving up Smokes....Damn!

Got a head ache around mid day and had some nurefin and some water

Just need to break some bad habits

We have been walking everyday too! Because we have just started we are only walking for 15-20 mins a day and are going to slowly work up to longer and more hilly. Food wise we are goning well so far too. Grill not fry, no dessert etc. and lots of stirfries. Feeling good and still keen.!

One day at a time, Paul. Today presents enough challenges without having to worry about tomorrow.

We're 'routing' for you, buddy. Keep in touch, hey.

Take care.

Rossco

My story so far...... My weight challenge started seriously on 24th March, 2011.

I am on medication which could/would probably be attributed to my lifestyle and what goes down my gob.

Since I've started my lifestyle change, in only 6 weeks, I've halved one lot of tablets,
I'm starting to lose my belly and can just about see the tip of my......6pack. lol

My point being..... I strongly recommend if you are on any medication, see your doctor, if you haven't already
done so. Keep a really close eye on your health as you lose weight. If you have any doubt what so ever,
please, see your doctor, as soon as possible.

Apart from jumping out of my skin with joy, If I had not kept an eagle eye on my health, it could have gone the other way
as I'm getting fitter and becoming healthier,


In less than about 3 weeks, I've gone from taking a full tablet, to half strength to none!

I encourage you all to keep up with your endeavour - step by step, and to religiously monitor your health
and if you have any doubt what so ever, or notice any changes - see your doctor asap.

Take care.

Ross

Great stuff, Ryan. We're all here to encourage you.

Just so you know I'm doing it tough, today is day 10 without a beer!!! It's not right!!! For those that know me, that is gargantuan ... first time in 27 years I have gone more than a few days without a beer ... and I'm only 38 years old!! lmfao

But I'm sticking with it ... have had no spirits either, and three single glasses of wine over three different nights with dinner!!!

Keep up the good work everyone!!

This had better work!!! LOL

Onya Scotty. Think of how much you've saved in 10 days. Put that money into your Tank's next mod. He'll appreciate it and thank you!!!!

I'm only allowed to have 2 standard drinks a day over a 7 day period, with 2 days no drinking at all.

That equates to 2 x mid strength or 1 x full strength. PPfffffff. I've decided not to drink at all. lol

Well done Adrian. Rome wasn't built in a day!

Take care out there.

Rossco

Good onya.

It's natural to slip occasionally. I've done it heaps, but all you need to do is to think fitness and health and get back on that track.

Keep looking forward and don't look back. Keep up the good work everybody.
