Hi there ladies and gents. If any of you are still here from a couple of years ago, I'm back! Brief update...18 months ago stress hit pretty hard and i lost 8kg in about 3 weeks. Kept losing and got down to 94kg. Was ecstatic! I kept it off for almost a year and then changed a medication and have put almost all of it back…

@lois - a loss is a loss!!!!!!! Keep up the work, this is a lifelong journey, so small osses are great because they are sustainable. Well done you. Work can be hard when everyone doesn't do their bit. @Marsha - i often find to get a tune out of my head "achy breaky heart" is the best LOL. Goodluck getting that out of yor…

Quick post tonight, just popped in to say I'm very pleased with myself. I came in under my goal calories today for the first time since getting back on here. Yay....

@skinny/Karen - my Kookaburra made me think of you and your class' poetry and an old Australian bush ryhm... Kookaburra sits in the old Gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he, laugh Kookaburra laugh Kookaburra, gay your life must be. Or there is the school kid version... Kookaburra sits on the electric wire (ie…

Tuesday goals - i think for me this has to just be getting my calories under goal, taking goal seriously and taking real note of what goes in. Off to log today, and try to fill in other days this week. Because i missed Sunday share some of you won't know I'm an Aussie. Have put in a pic my DH took in our backyard on the…

Robin, hope you continue to mend. One day at a time, a song i heard diana trask sing thht i often sing to myself, such wonderful lyrics, and you'll get there.

Thanks all for your kind and encouraging words. It really shouldn't have to be this hard should it! Kaye, such good news for your hubby, so pleased for you both. Tlh, good to see you back too! Sounds very interesting in your area politically speaking, good luck with getting people to read actual documents and think of the…

Hi everyone! Long time since i last visited. My Thursday truth is that I've been away from here 4 months and have gained 4 kg/8lb approx. I've been back for 4 days and have been completely out of control, but logging everything. Please don't look at my diary, it is seriously embarrassing! While I have been out of control,…

Hi guys, Happy belated birthday Laurie. Sounds like a good day. I am sure you deserve it. Hope you are feeling better soon. I'll post some pics of our bonnie next weekend. Kaye, it'll be quite large, but as we have no close neighbors we don't have to worry too much. Also, it's winter, so no real worries about fire getting…

Hi guys, it's saturday here now and my success for this week has been finding clothes in the op shops (thrift or second hand charity shops). I always hated going to them because it was so hard to find anything that fit, but it sure is getting easier. I have spent a total of $34, and have picked up approx $500 clothes. I…

Hi everyone, Just checking in with a quick "Hello". Have been keeping up my good eating habits, with some happy results. I am now shopping at the local op shops, as my regular clothes are lots too big, and I just cannot make do anymore. A good problem to have I know. Glad to read of your successes. Hope you are feeling…

No ime this morning, meant to catch up last night but went to bed early instead. Thanks for the zombie run update. Tried to watch TWD but gave me nightmares, but 14 year ol son loves it tho. We both thougt the zombie run sounds like a blast! Thursday truth: had 2 choc chip biscuits the other day and didn't track them. I…

Forgot to say. For Mothers day we are going to have pancakes for breaky and then head out with the phone and spend the day geocaching - our first time. Should be a blast of a day. Five of us in the car for the whole day. What could possibly go wrong????? LOL. Can someone please tell me what zombie runs are????? I keep…

Tlh - sorry to hear about your house worries. It's so hard! I know someone else said it, your house is out there waiting for you to find it. Susan - I love the photos you put ip of the food at your work, and am seriously amazed at your self control in being able to leave them all untasted. I'd have no chance! Skinny -…

Well I have caught up on all your news of the last few days. So much happens doesn't it! We are just living our lives but its so hard to keep up. I tried to look back for my April challenge goals and can't find them anywhere! So disorganised! Not sure that I will be contributing much to the May challenge. Have any of you…

Well, end of April has come around fast. Soooooo long since I've been on here. Have not ben on track at all, with 2 long weekends, camping, brthday parties (4), Easter, and school holidays! However, am back on track for the last week and results are good. Not sure how I go against my April goals, I'm sure not good. Hope…

@tlh – I’ve got sister’s in law too, sometimes they suck! Other ones are fab. Not sure how we get the ones we get. I’ve had 2 dodgy ones & 1 fab. My brother is now engaged again & I’m hoping for another good one LOL. @Lives – Glad the weather is turning nice. My DH has a vege patch, so I can relate to your enthusiasm for…

@Susan – Made me laugh – the ¾ refers to the length of the jeans, as in they come about ¾ of the way down between knee & ankle. I wish it meant my waist was ¾ the size of everyone else’s. Very happy to put you up for a few days or meet you in Melbourne for a bite somewhere when you do get to Australia – we love a good BBQ…

Newlings - Welcome! This is a great thread; the people on here are great for advice, support & encouragement. Come back often. @Susan – thanks for your kind words the other day about my son, I appreciate the support. By the way, you are welcome to stop here for some free accommodation when you do get around to visiting…

I know I'm missing some of you since me last post - when I read through I tend to think my reply & then can't remember it when I get to post! This getting older is hard on the brain! @kah - glad you had such a great trip. Welcome back. I find it's always so easy to excercise while away, lots to see & do when travelling.…

Bendigo VIC - happy to receive friend requests - just let me know where you're from. Naomi :-)

Hey there, I joined in mid December & my plan is to take off weight slow & steady. Really I just want to eat healthily - the way I can eat for the rest of my life. I started out at 122.5 kg & have so far dropped 11.5. Very happy with that! Would love some 'local' friends on here - Anyone from Bendigo (VIC) region? Send me…

Jnettie, good on you for running at all. I b3t Brian is real proud of you. Hope you work it out. Karen, exciting on the size 12 dress and size 10 capris! I shopped yesterday, just for a couple to t shirts, and went down 2 sizes from my usual. Was pretty excited too. I've only just discovered the walking dead. Never heard…

Karen, I love the "just" post! The way we talk to ourselves makes all the difference to how we get on. Tanya, I can relate to the photo avoidance, but I have learnt to cope. My sister in law died a few years ago, and my brother has almost no pics of her because she didn't like how she looked, and would never be in a pic.…

Wednesday wish - there's so many of them! 1. I wish there were more hours in the day 2. I wish I had the energy to use the hours that i'd like added to the day 3. I wish Australia did not have so many dead spots in internet/mobile phone coverage! That's because I lost my streak because we went camping on the weekend. We…

Just two days since I've been on here, and so much has happened! I will pop back later when on pc to read all your news. My big confession, had my first control blow out yesterday. Ate a ton of biscuits. Stupid part was that I wasn't even hungry. Sitting on the couch on my own and got 2 biscuits, nothing wrong with that,…

L2T so great to see those scales moving down again. Well done, pleased for you. KAye, that sounds like a very busy food weekend! I'm sure you have got it covered though, maybe not enough walking, but over the whole week it all sort of evens out doesn't it. Tigredia. Keep up with your logging while you try to work it out. I…
