ok well i ended up with a cheesecake last night, though since ive been on fairly restricted calories, though good foods lately its no major really.
Today was better, some emails came through from experts whom i sent nail photos too. They said in no way were my nails ridged at all and agreed that i had no symptoms of the syndrome.
So this validates that this Doctor is a dickhead more interested in furthering his career rather than caring about his patients welfare. The fight will go on

I took a mental health day off work - being a friday and all. Jogged 40 mins to my friends house, spent few hours relaxing and then jogged back in 45 mins. Pretty hilly terrain and so i was pleased with my efforts. I wasnt even really tired and didnt have to stop at all. And it was great to think things through and clear the head.

Whoa, Wishes. That SUCKS! What else can I say? It just plain SUCKS. Is there any way to replace the idiot doc?

Second and third options are a good thing... good for you for keeping up the fight

so i said last week i started taking some fat burners which were basicly caps of chilli and green tea and other such stimulants.
Dunno if they helped me loose any weight at all, i think possibly its a gimmick to make you work harder since you paid all that money to loose weight.
I did notice i havnt been sleeping, however i dunno if its related to the pills or not. Im stopping them for now anyway since you are only sposed to take them 5 days in a row and i forgot to take them one day and then forgot when i started it, and i suspect ive taken em too long by a day or two.

Anyway ill stay off them for now.
Ive lost 10lb in about 2 weeks approximatly. Been a bit busy to take notice exactly. Ive had a few blowouts so it could have been more if id wanted to be.
Basicly on the eating meat and vegetables diet only which always seems to work well. Plus a month gym membership on the exercycle and treadmills and stuff.

So now im sitting at home with a cyclone bearing down on me, though a mild one , however we live in a very open space on top of a hill. Heres hopeing the tree next to the house falls down, its protected so we cant cut it and it blocks tons of the view!
Ive brought all objects that can blow around inside, pre-cooked dinner, cat is inside.
Looks like it could be fun! Should be a fast and hard cyclone though which is good. Over quickly.
I told my sons work that he wouldnt be working as a driver tonight and they were dumb enough to ask "why?" .

Hi wishes
I LOVE looking at your pics - they are so inspirational! You've done a simply stellar job - and you've done it in a very healthy way.

Congrats on the loss you saw at the gym recently! I'd flip to lose over 2 lbs in a week!!! All of your hard work continues to pay off.

You go, girl!

Humm maybe you could help it out a bit by digging up some of it 's root structure, then find someone with a tractor and a big chain "We dont know what happed, a huge crack and wham it was over, lucklly we we're all safe inside and no one was hurt, damm storm killed our favorite tree."

Damm you'd think there would be some way to rush thoses dna tests through in your case. Keep up the fight! You will prevail!

Aww thanks! makes me feel good that i only had 4 muffins and 1 slice of cheese cake today. The 4 crumpets i wasnt feelin too guilty about

Hey it was storm weather and im off the temporary idiotic horrid annoying diet-that-works thing for the weekend. The weather is crap so its great eating weather lol!


Hehe we have thought about it a few times before

copper nails, spray on poison, leaking toxic waste .... we've thought of it all before

well it was bad in parts, but its much better now, in the eye of the storm. The other half probably wont be that bad.

hmm how cool is that, i got an email from a new magazine starting up. they want to do another article on me! and my weight loss!

man i wish there were more kiwi chicks on here, we could have done a forum spam thing :/

That is very cool! I hope you charge them for their articles. In fact, I think you should contact Oprah and get booked on her show, so you and your fam can enjoy a free trip to Chicago and have some fun at O's expense!!! You deserve it.

cheers
ABBA

nah not getting paid for this one, but they will however do a free photo shoot!

YAY GLAM PICS!

Very cool... can you also use the article to bring attention to the idiot doctor and your brother's maybe he does maybe he doesn't have condition

That is pretty neat. Will we be getting this magazine in the States? I don't think we did on the last article. bummer

nah if its a new Womans Health NZ mag im presuming its NZ only :/
Thats a great idea Mal, brilliant in fact. I dunno if i can get the tests done or anything before that.

women's health is a fairly big publication in the US... it's an offshoot of Men's health magazine -and of all the fitness related magazines -it's not bad -has a lot of good info -from nutrition to workouts, to sex,...

If it's the same one:
Women's Health Magazine - Australian Magazines :: iSUBSCRiBE - magazine subscriptions online

that's the australian version but it's identical to the us version...

that would be exciting

Hey! Thanks for the comment. Actually I'm a girl. Surprising I know...
That's so cool that you'll be in a magazine. Your weight loss really is insprining. It makes it seem like my 40 pounds is nothing when you've lost that much. How long did it take you to lose that much?
