Weight Loss Fund Raiser CHAT THREAD

[Bush Ranger]

I`m at 106 Kgs at the moment. Lost 25 Kg when I first started a few months back. Plateaued at the moment and no doubt I`ll get back in to the swing of things soon.

Nice. Please be careful. 40kg in 6 months is a lot of weight to lose in a short amount of time. This won't be suitable for me because I love my pushbike riding and I need carbs. Low carbs and pushbike riding, IMHO, aren't good friends. Been there done that.

All the best, Winnie.

Take care out there.

Thanks mate. The doc is happy with what I've done so far and it has brought my blood pressure down which was what made me make the choice to do something about my weight.
I'm down to 95kg, which is the first time I have been under 100kg since I was 16

Winnie, that`s one thing I found too, about bloody pressure being lower once the weight had dropped. I use to walk around 1.5 hours a day once, but now I do any thing around 2.5 to 3 hours a day. Keep up with the good work.

Wow, just found this thread and I shall be subscribing.
Just found out from my doc after 8 vile of blood, chest X-ray and spinal X-ray that I have Metabolic Disease. To beat my spinal column is knackered so as far as exercise goes I am restricted to walking. I have a CT Scan this week so we can see exactly what is going on in the spine so we can see what exercise is suitable (I think that is his plan).
So for now i am needing to lose 20kg by diet alone.
Currently 99kg. He has me aiming for 88kg first, the 78kg.
I am not allowed to eat any carbs, sugar, or any foods high in acids. This may just end me. I like my food.
Doc says: "No Pasta"
Me: "You know I am Italian right?"
Doc: "Wanna live past 50?"
Me: "Cazzo!"

The old pasta is addictive isn`t it, even rice I can`t get enough of at times.

Weigh in tomorrow morning.

I've got it, so I'm gunna flaunt it! PML
