@Karlottap You look great! How much weight have you lost? You must feel healthier and lighter--good for you!0

Granny, you're tucking a "torch" ..... like fire?
(I am trying to mentally picture that) Hopefully that's an British word for flashlight? LOL!
Ha ha, that was an Americanism I didn't see coming. Yes, a torch with batteries - though we call the flame ones torches too. I should have known because the torch app on my phone is named flashlight and of course we hear the term all the time on TV 'You guys' really do put a twist on the original British version of English

@Karlotta - oh woowwwww! What a huge difference. Congratulations! You mean I might find that my head doesn't sit directly on my shoulders in due course???0

@wheatlessgirl66, total from then is 112 pounds. Weight was 318 and now 206 (and counting down). Although when I got active on mfp, in January, I was 231.0

Wow--that is wonderful! I am so, so happy that you've been able to lose the weight and become so much more healthy. Congratulations, Karlotta! Great, great work.0 -
This is hilarious!!!
Ditto to the sex drive. The hubby is loving this woe.
@Karlottap You look like a completely different person. Congratulations. ♥
Aussies call a flashlight a torch also. I don't use one during the night tho. I stumble around in the dark with my eyes barely open.

Oh squeeeeeeeeee. Today I found indents up and down, along the sides of my core/abs. I'm a *very* long way from any abs showing, but just to see that promise of what's in store has made me so happy!
And I put on a pair of thin fabric white trousers (note to Americans - pants go *inside* your trousers, they are not an outer garment ) and can see indents up and down the outer edge of my quads! I've always had very strong quads so I've a feeling they are going to show so nicely as I lose more fat.
I can't believe how much fat you lose with the WOE while the muscles stay. My whole body is proving this in losing fat that sat there stubbornly no matter how little I weighed on the scales in the past.0 -

Today I'm learning Aussie = British. Boots and bonnets here too.
I'm learning though. I have a good friend who is in American. I met him while online gaming about 5 yrs ago. He's educating me in the USofA way.0 -

I was born a Brit, but have lived in Oz since 1972*. Aussies also speak correct English though and you betcha I'll be telling you about boots and bonnets, and cars using petrol, and turning a tap to get water, dressing a baby in nappies, with a dummy in its mouth, and sticking the letter U every place I can possibly put one in a word like colour and neighbour and humour
And use 're' for centre, litre etc
The only word I can think of that Aussies use, the Brits don't, but the Americans do, is the word 'truck'. In the UK they say 'lorry'. Otherwise, Oz is as much an outpost of Britain as is Canada.

My bottom hurts when I sit on a hard chair, it seems my built in cushion is vanishing
Same here. The wife picked up some cushions and I claimed one. No longer in the market for any MEN'S bras.
An old pair of pants I wear around the house on cool mornings that would just button under my belly sometime now slip down even when I have them over my belly now. On checking I really have lost my hips but the scales indicates they went somewhere else.

That I have shrunk out of the elastic in all my sweat pants... So now I have to dig out the strings in them and keep them tied or my pants end up around my knees.0

That's the belly laugh. Hope they turn up wabmester.I lost my sunglasses. (Please let me know if you find them.)
Probably TMI but when I take my middle-of-the-night loo trip I used to tuck the torch between my leg and my belly while I sorted the TP aspect of things. I can't do that any more, it falls off

Ha ha Twibbly. First time I ever heard that phrase it's a wonder my eyes didn't fall out of my head. I'm not explaining for the unenlightenedIamUndrCnstruction wrote: »"* I'm a naturalised Australian and have had the traditional operation to remove half of my brain and replace it with a meat pie."
