Join The FSD!

Hi all, well it's about 9.am here in the land of the Aussie's so I might be the first.
I only joined on tuesday and the last time that I weighed myself was about a week or so before and was 159 lbs:eek: . Before that I was over eating every other day.
I started to watch what I was eating on Wed and of course yesterday. For the last 2 nights I stopped eating at 6.pm, god that can be hard especially since I don't fall asleep till around 12/1 am in the morning. I also take a diuretic each day for my b/p so I can't blame fluid for too much weight gain (or loss I suppose) anyway the good news today is I weighed in at 157 lbs. I will say my starting weight is 158 lbs because for me 2 lbs in two days seems abit much.

Morning all! Ahh Blitzed, you beat me too it :D I thought I might be first on. Great work an the weight loss!! I did the same as you, I under estimated my weight as I knew I had put a lot of water weight on last week due to really poor diet ;)

Its 4am in Britain at the moment (who'd be a postie, eh :rolleyes: ) and I couldn't wait until later!! I am 12st 11lbs. That is 3 lbs down (6lbs including water weight). To put that into context, I have lost all but 1lb of what I put back on while on holiday last week :eek: . Can't wait for that 1lb and another one to go, then I will feel that I am making some progress. And, needless to say, I couldn't have done it without you guys. You have really kept me on the straight and narrow this week. Now all I have to do is give the battery to hubby (don't want to get kicked out of the club!! :D )

Well, goodluck everyone, I can't wait to finish work and come and see how you have all done. See you later ..... :cool:
 
I was just going off-line and I saw you had posted so I came to see how you did, Mrs. Bear. Congratulations! You'll lose the other one this week and it will take a few of his friends with him. Have a good Friday.
 
OK, here's the embarressing bit...

I weighed myself and I'm 94.5 kg. It's not as bad as I envisioned. I thought I'd be around the 100s, and I'd been messing around with BMIs, weight-loss plans and the like around that starting point. I guess it could be worse then, but could have been better.

So better get my ticker sorted, do the rounds, and start my English Channel swim.

WELL DONE to Mrs Bear and Blitzed! Hope the rest of you guys do well.

Bronsk, that is a lot less than you thought you would be! 5.5kg is ... like ... 12lbs. That's nearly a stone. And well done as well for biting the bullet and getting on the scales, not easy when you don't know what the numbers are going to say. I'm a bit of a wuss, I only step on if I'm pretty confident about what I am going to see!! ;)

Good luck on the swim, let me know how many laps you do!! :cool:
 
Thanks Pineola, Mrs Bear and others.
Mrs Bear, god you get up early:eek: , congrates on your lb too :D .
Well it's just after 9 pm in Ozzie land so I will see how everyone went on Saturday (who said we Aussies are behind?):rolleyes:
Anyone out there like vegemite?...yummmmm.

Good luck all :D .

I was never really clear on what Vegemite was. I only know of it from the old Midnight Oil song. Is it like Spam except made of vegetables instead of meat from the head of some unknown animal?
 
Wow!! Everyone is doing so well, this group thing must be working!!:D

I think Vegemite is like Marmite, which is yeast extract - a thick, black, strong tasting goo that you put on toast or with cheese (or is that just me :rolleyes: ). Am I right, Blitzed?

Mal, do you find that you end up peeing all day, because I sure do!!!

For now, yes - what i read (somewhere on the internet,. so it must be true :D ) is that for the short term you pee frequently (which is good exercise -it's 100 steps to the rest room and back if i take the long way :) But what i read was over time, your bladder adjusts and you pee less frequently with more quantity... :) I'm hoping.. :)

I bought a very small bottle of it the last time i was in Australia - i will eat pretty much anything... but this stuff was so salty... and just strange tasting - i suppose it's one of those things you have to grow up with - What I was told there, was if you put a very thin coating on buttered bread .. .it's good... (this is the same country that also eats giant slugs (not snails, these were slugs... and kangaroo :) Lovely people, lovely country - strange foods.. :D

Marmite is made from the yeast extract a by-product of the brewing industry. Vegemite is a vegetable extract... both have the same texture and color.. and saltiness.... :)
 
Just getting off of work! (8 am)

Will weigh when I get home.. and then as soon as I get an internet connection, will posty!

:)
