Well, i gained a little overnight - probably from the chocolate and diet coke (sodium etc) yesterday heheh. Im sure it will drop off easily enough.

Today i made the call to the hospital, they are sending me the packs and it takes apparently 3 months to do all the tests etc.
So i SHOULD be able to loose another bunch of weight before doing the actual kidney donation which is awesome!
Not only that, but i can do the race i wanted to do!

Anyway, test sheet is in the mail box to do, ill do that firstly, and register for this race!

Congratulations on that surgery weight!!
And I see you're on to the next goal right away. The race sounds a bit scary, but I know there's nothing like conquering your fears. And ours..
Have a terrific week!

hey wishes! i logged on after 4 days & just saw your new avatar. u look fab!! good job on the SH diet. i thought i too would start it this week. But i've shelved it for the moment, coz the husband is on a 2 week vacation & he lives to feed me. It'll just not work. Maybe later!

awesome pictures.
You know I started taking before and after pictures too... But instead i gained weight
Hopefully, I'll follow in the same direction as you and actually do it.

Hey Wishes it has been awhile and I am sorry...I didnt read back to far - I was offline for a week due to comp problems...Id like to see how much weight you can loose in 3 months - you are a loosing machine - youve done great so far and you can only accomplish more and greater

hahaha, oh noe :/
I do mine about once a month, unless i dont really loose significantly decent amount of weight. That works out to be about 10lb between pics give or take some.

Probably a good idea - its EXTREMELY hard to stick with, particulrly at easter! lol

Im not gonna win the race, i just want to be able to finish ... to be able to say i did it! and didnt quit!

Hey Wishes,

I just wanted to say you've done an amazing job, and are such a source of inspiration! I'm pretty new to the forum, and I know there's going to be times when I want to give up, but if that happens I'll look at your pictures and your progress over the last year and push on. Congrats again and keep up the good work.

RhoRho, i recall being just like you only 8-9 months back.
I trolled through the before/afters for a fair bit to make sure it was possible and not just some gimmick by companies to sell stuff!
I was at the stage that i honestly didnt think i could do it, but was determined to try. Being here, and having fitday, and educating myself was the key to success.
Mostly the latter, the educating. There are a lot of false prophets about trying to sell you stuff, and a lot of news items on TV that are blatently false, or grosly exadurated. Tons of Urban Myths and Fairy tales etc.
The best way to learn is to keep searching online, and listen to the people on this forum who have proven results. Not to mention being totally honest with yourself (even if you lie to everyone else ) and choosing a plan that you can stick with.

best of luck, Ill be keeping an eye out for your before/afters
I still have a bit more weight to drop yet!

Good Morning!! Congratulations on getting the pack from the hospital!!! That is so tremendous!! You are truly and inspiration to all of us!!!

Hi wishes

just wanted to let you know i gave some newbies your web page (hope you don't mind) cause i find it more helpful than any other site i've been to. it has helped me a lot when i didn't know where to start and how to continue.
thank you for inspiring me

Good Morning everyone!

Sweetbix! Thats what its there for!

So i paid the fee and im now booked in to do the 90km cycle race on the 5th of May. Im gonna cycle to work again to get back into cycling shape. Also need to do some hills on the weekend to make sure i can do it.

that's a heck of a bike race - I'm seriously impressed my butt is sore just thinking about riding that far

Howdy Wishes,
Congrats on getting the hospital test packs coming yourway!
3months wow you can do some damage in 3 months can't wait to see what you can do girl! Goodluck on the 90km biking thats alot of peddaling.Hope you have a nice day Tammy

Thats because you dont eat your oatmeal for breaky!
Im never gonna forgive you for that! :O
Funnily enough, people over here just dont eat it, its considered yuck. There are a few of us who love it, but i distinctly recall it not being 'cool' when i was the only kid at school camp tp eat it over weetbix

Yeah, in 3 months i aim to be as close to 'out of the fat range' as i can!
And 90km is about 56 Miles

Good job on booking the race. You're going to do great.
