    Well done Struggle ;) 8 tubs of butter gone... Little bit by little bit is how we lose it. I keep thinking about the fact it took me 20 years to get to the point of 114.3 but it won't take me as long to get back to a decent weight (but does it matter if it did?), however I do need to be...

    Thanks Lilah, Ryan is very resilient and we have had these sorts of things before. The one that got me the mos was his Italian teacher at school. While what she said was somewhat racist I know she did not mean it in that regard. The kids had to do an assignment of writing one of their...

    Hi everyone, I just need to have a small rant about something. I posted similar in my blog but wanted to share with you all this experience. This post contains some words may find offensive, but they are not words I would use; they are words that were used against my son. On Wednesday night...

    The Milk of Human Kindness went Sour

    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...

    That's great news Struggle - 5 tubs of butter gone!!! I was naughty on the week end, after a week of 3 birthdays I threw caution to the wind and ate more than I normally would. Back on the band wagon this week though.

    MEALIES!!!!!!! If I counted the times where I went up during this journey and then came back down then I think I would have shed over 30kgs by now. You only lose the race if you fall over one more time than you get up!!!!!!!!!!! My email notices stopped for a while as well so I have been...

    Struggle - that is great!! 1.1kgs is 2 tubs of butter (or a non-dairy vegetable oil alternative) so just imagine those on the kitchen bench and add them up as you go. You suddenly realise how large an amount of pure fat you have shed if you view it that way. The tablets are starting to have...

    BWAH HAHAHAAAAaaaaaaaaa Flower - just don't let anyone know that I told you about how we think or the "Man Mafia" will be after me for spilling the beans. Bouncing off walls can really be put to good use. I had that happened the Friday night before Mothers Day here in Aus so I put it good use...

    Really? REALLY?

    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...

    Hi girls? Ladies? Fellow losers? - not sure which (I got berated once at work for using "ladies" in an email...) Sorry Mealies, I went back over my posts and realised that at one point I got you and Flower mixed around when mentioning having your partner validate you. My sarang-ha-nun has put a...

    I think the two of you are absolutely amazing people. So many of us sit and think that there is no point in trying to do anything about our weight issues. I saw an article the other day trying to justify the increase in size of folk over the last two decades but it made no sense to me. Some of...
