Baby it is cold outside

I am having a great time in Melbourne, although on Tuesday I awoke with a sneeze and a sore throat. I soon discovered that I have now contracted the Victorian strain of what I only had a few weeks ago at home. Oh well, life does go on.

There is so much to say, but as I am paying by the half hour today, I won't go into it all.

What I've most enjoyed about Melbourne is walking around and going into shops/cafe's that aren't mainstream. I love the grungy ambiance of a lot of it and really enjoy the time I spend by myself just looking around. I'd enjoy this a lot more if it weren't so damn cold and rainy, but Winter cannot be avoided.

I've been doing a crap load of walking and on Tuesday I did a lot of swimming at the St. Kilda Salt Baths. It was a great time! Tomorrow I am using mr. ralph's free swimming pass the university gave him.

I probably won't update again until I am at home. Enjoy your weekend.

G'day. I have the fortune of dealing with a fabulous internist and also my wifes oncologist. Obesity is a loose term. At 6'1", 337 I was very overweight. Right now I am under 250 and I look like a very large US Football player. Keep in mind, I am getting all the nutrition I need, all the protein I need, and almost all the vitamins I need. A little short on a couple, but vitamin pills work. I am completely hydrated, I use the gym daily and at 500 calories a day I am feeling very good. I would stop this if I felt anything but great. As a rule, gastric bypass patients are no different than I am. They have a smaller stomach and can only digest a small amount of food. That is the basis for this and it works.
Thanks for the concern...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...
