Well, this is NOT an entry about weightloss, duromine or anything else to do with my journey to smaller sized clothes. This blog entry is about the disgust I feel for the actions of others in this world. It is about the anger that is generated in me by the intolerance that we can show to...

Do you remember what their one hit wonder song was??? I know, you've gone away to google it right now ;), I can wait............:)........:rolleyes:.....:cool:.....:confused:.....o_O So you have found it? Yep, that's the song I meant... "What will we be singin' in the 80s, what should we be...

It never ceases to amaze me that your head can do such stupid things to you. So, since the 7th of January this year I have: controlled my eating. changed my taste in food to point where I still like the taste of some fast food but I no longer crave it. reduced my weight by 24.3kgs. reduce my...

Well, its been a month a half since I wrote anything and I know you all have been missing me ;) !! So, in the last month what has been happening? About 3 weeks ago I thought I would find my original wedding ring. I had put on so much weight over the years that it no longer fit so I put it...

No no no... I saw what you were thinking there and this is NOT that sort of post!!!! It is the 1st of April and my goal was to lose 10kg by the end of March. Well I know I broke through that target a while ago but I nearly fell of the scales this morning when they read.... 94.8 kgs...

So I pull out a pair of shoes for work today (no Imelda Marcos jokes please) that I have not worn for a couple of months. The last time I wore them I can remember them being a little bit tight, hence the reason why they landed in the bottom of the cupboard. I put them on and now I am finding the...

Well, I have completed my 2nd pack of Duromine and I am feeling so good. I jumped on the scales this morning and have finally cracked the 100kg mark - I am down to 98kgs even!!!! I wanted to lose 10kgs by the end of March and to date I have lost 16.3. Now, why am I feeling nervous - well...

Well I have just started on the 2nd sleeve of tablets in my second box of Duromine - so I guess that means this is the half way mark for the first 3 month lot of scripts. I stood on the scales and found that I have dropped to 100.7 - that's a reduction of 13.6 kilos in the last 6 weeks!!! I...

Well, my first 30 days is up today and I must say I am somewhat chuffed with the result. I started this journey on the 7th of January this year and was weighing in then at 114.3kgs. This morning I stepped on the scales to find myself weighing in at 104.2kgs. My goal was to loose 10kgs by...

Had a really stressful day yesterday at work and when I got home my sweetheart already had dinner on the table for me. She is telling me I am not eating enough but I just don't have the craving to eat like I used to - up until last night. We sat there and she let me vent about my day and then I...

Well, I had intended writing everyday but I guess life and work get in the road sometimes. I am now 13 days into my first round of Duromine and the side effects I was so worried about seem to be leaving me alone. I did have the anxious feeling for the first couple of days , but that settled...

Had a good day yesterday. Finding the whole concept of not wanting to eat, after the amount of food I used to consume, quite amusing. Now to start planning the exercise regime I want to follow.

WOW - I was a bit worried about the side effects of Duromine but after the first day (yep I know it only the first day) the only side effects I have had was an anxious feeling for the morning - other than that it all seems good. It didn't take me long to realise yesterday that eating is...

Each new year I have made resolutions to "eat healthy", "lose weight", "spend time with the family" and each year they seem to go okay for a short time but I never quite see the end. What am I doing wrong? How do I make these eventual stumbling blocks into stepping stones? The answer came for...

As my first blog entry let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a father of 8 children, 6 by birth and 2 by adoption. I have been married to my sweetheart for 20 years this coming March (2014). I love my family so very much, they are my life. When I was married I weighed about 75kgs and...
