Surprisingly, another 4.6lbs again this past fortnight. 37lbs in total.

If only my Mood reflected my success with this battle.

Dave.

Wow Dave!!!!!

A 37 lb weight loss is remarkable!

You deserve a hot fudge brownie sundae as a reward. ;)

When you set your mind to a task, you have amazing willpower to follow through. What's your secret?

How close are you to your ultimate goal?

Keep up the great work.
D.

Congratulations!
 

Congrats Dave! :D

Amazing! You've been through so much extra lately, it's awesome you have been able to stay focused and committed! :D

:hug:

Well done Dave - that's a brilliant achievement.

Forget the hot fudge sundae - if I reached that goal my treat would be a lovely piece of fresh grilled salmon with a side of scallops.

I know you've had to rest up since your last fall but have you noticed any other improvements health wise since the weight loss. ie: easier breathing, sleeping etc?

Sorry I can't remember any more bad jokes to cheer your mood.

Thanks for keeping us posted.

congratulations dave!
wish you felt better.

Diandra,

I am 6lbs off a major target - there may be a Reveal then! Who knew it would come so soon? I was aiming for Christmas.

My Target is 24lbs away.

Bluesfan,

Steamed salmon is part of my diet, I rotate it with mackerel and sardines. All Sustainably Caught.

I had a big treat last week, flapjack topped with caramel and 1/4inch thick chocolate. It was to celebrate 3 months of being strict. Tasty as it was at 500cals, I had no cravings for more.

I know internally I am getting better, my A1c is good for a Diabetic and I am reversing/protecting my liver issues. It is easier to breathe, especially when laid down, I do not snore as much. It is also easier to drag myself back up from collapses and a little easier to stand from sitting - but that is spinal/neuropathic, not weight.

Thank you all so much for your support, it means so much to me.

Glad to hear the weight lost is having discernible improvements on your health.

That first goal only 6lbs away - another few weeks then - keep it up.

Re the salmon - it used to be a regular part of my diet as well until it became too expensive ($35 per kilo) - that's why it's in the treat dept. Most fish in NZ is now too expensive for the average consumer - a lot of it's exported. A lot is also caught in our oceans, shipped to China for processing, and then shipped back here to be sold. Crazy economics. Fortunately it's Hoki season (a local white fish) right now and the price has come down so I'm putting a few fillets in the freezer. The only mackerel & sardines we get down here come in tins.

I am very happy for you dave, keep up the great work that you are doing. It really matters that you succeed!

Dave, I reckon that you are travelling really well :).

I am a big fan of salmon (a couple of times a week) too.
