did you do much cardio? ever hit a plateau? you look fantastic! x

omg I have been away for a coupe of months, I come back and this is the first thing I read!!! holy cow! love the shirt....LOVE THE SHIRT! where has the love gone - what's happened to you all. ok...see you again in a couple more months xxx

Go girl!! :-)))

"If you had one shot, one moment....would you capture it?"....yes you did! Well done for truly seizing the moment and never letting go. You deserve your success. Thank you for telling your story :-)

The good news is that it is perfectly possible to lose weight when you are post menopausal - the bad news is you have to do everything longer and harder - eat at a small deficit, take up vigorous exercise and do it everyday and you will lose but it takes years. I have lost 10 kg in roughly two years! Last plateau lasted…

Whatever it takes. Just whatever it takes! Keep throwing ***## at it and one day something will stick.

Wow Brian. Look how many responses you've got! Just had to add mine - you deserve to get a record number of congratulations because you are one fine man that has shown such courage! Awesome awesome x

Just become a runner - just run - get some miles on the clock. Ever seen a serious runner with man boobs? It's easy. Just start slow. Trust me - start running!

I'm no expert - unlike some on here - but I had to stop eating back my exercise calories. I mean bodies just adapt - they get good at doing stuff. I have gardened all my life so when I put in six hours of gardening because I have had a whole day out there I would have to eat back an enormous amount. Or to say it this way -…

From what I have heard gastric bypass can be pretty awful - a friend of my mothers did a lot of throwing up, even when she was out to lunch with her friends. That can't be healthy! Or fun! The people around you will have some wins and some losses, you have to run your own race - literally! Enjoy every drop of sweat and…

I eat 1200 to around 1800 a day, lift heavy two or three times a week, personal training weekly, two yoga sessions, maybe six or more hours of gardening, four kids and I'm painting the house and I can't lose a kilogram!! Just saying...missed the running - run at least 10k a week

Thank you for helping to start my year on a positive note and congrats to you. Someone once told me with running just to relax relax relax and that works for me - just relax into every stride and enjoy the show! Never never ever give up xx

'Fleicher's ' is the name of my favourite cafe in Melbourne too! The best cakes and coffee...yum

Finish the job I started....lose last bit of body fat and run 10k under 60min

I'm going to log just to see what it comes out at! Should be a hoot! Back in the program Boxing Day .... :-)

If it is at all possible take up an evening class of yoga or something similar. It's not too strenuous and keeps you away from the kitchen! Also I have to say it's hard but nothing worth doing is easy! And just as an aside, 'got so far to go' is the name of a song on the Hairspray soundtrack - I like to finish a workout or…

Ok I have read all of this thread and want to say to all the sceptics - this is a real issue - I know because my ten year old daughter gets it. I kept thinking I was imagining it because she has skinny arms and legs and a fairly flat tummy at the beginning of the day but sometimes by the end of the day her belly is huge.…

sounds like me...are you losing weight on this? me - none!

One word for you people....star jumps!! Six in a row - awesome warmup! Xx

What the heck are noobie gains?

Keep it simple - don't overdo the preparation I reckon. For lunch I sometimes have a lettuce leaf rolled around thin slice carrots, tomato, cucumber. lately I have been on coleslaw - thin sliced carrot, radish and Chinese cabbage with a natural yoghurt dressing (and tsp mustard), and put a tablespoon of that into a lettuce…

Someone once told me though that fast workouts burn carbohydrates whereas slower training burns fat. Any truth in this? Sorry OP, hope I'm not butting in..

Yep I want to know too - before I hit the gym tomorrow and waste my time doing the wrong thing! It's a great question I think...

I read to the end. I cried. I will keep running and think of your story. You are awesome xxxxxx

Weight loss and fitness - two different goals....best wishes x

You are helping so many others just by posting - keep telling your wonderful amazing story. You look fabulous fabulous gorgeous and wonderful! And wow!!!

So guys its that fitness, or lifetime health, and weight loss are different goals? This has just occurred to me - am I over thinking it?

Omg what about your teeth!

Organic spelt whole grain - awesome, or else sour dough - both are pretty common in Australia. Are they popular in America? /:)

I'm sticking this on my fridge...keep it simple....! :happy:
