Oh, I could eat the brussel sprouts if I had to. I just couldn't eat anything nasty like the duck fetuses they had to eat on Survivor--twice. 
That was the most revolting thing I've ever seen.
That is great news they gave you your money back from the class you can't take. I guess they figure if they make you mad by not refunding it, you'll be less inclined to take classes there in the future.

Thanks for visiting.

Thanks for the compliment. I have quite a way to still go to get to the figure that I was supposed to have. My whole family are very slim - so I am very much still the chunky one!
I cannot tell you how pleased and surprised I am that this project has gone so well. I can assure you - if I could have done it ten or fifteen years ago - I would have.

I dont watch shows like survivor. I cannot say that I ever want to eat or drink anything disgusting. I like to do well in competitions as much as the next girl - but there are plenty of things that I wouldnt do to get points.
I am such a wimp - there are tons of things that I will not eat. Rod had kalamari last night - but I had something else - it is like eating rubber bands. I dont eat kidney, liver or anything like that. When I was young I used to eat black pudding and like it. I went off the whole idea when I learnt what it was. I found the idea of eating congealed blood quite revolting - even though I knew that I liked the taste!
I have to admit that I was really pleased about the refund. It was a long time after the course cancellation deadline as classes are actually due to start today. I think that I got the refund in part because I have got to know the ladies in the office there quite well. I have been going to classes three days a week and I pass the adult education centre three times during an average walking day. I have got so that I often pop in while passing to pay a visit to the toilet. When I pop in I have a word with the ladies in the office - so they have got used to seeing me almost every day.
Take care
Love

OMGoodness! LOL
I tried them once and that is exactly the impression that I had!!! Except I was thinking they were a bit more like chewing a pencil eraser. Soooo Grosss! All the squeaking while you are chewing. LMBO!

Calamari is the only way I can eat squid, although I do not really care for it. What's even worse is raw squid or dried squid--that is like eating shoe leather. You chew and chew and chew, all the while thinking you are grinding your teeth down like the eskimos that do that to I believe seal hides to make leather out of them??
I like most veggies, but there are a few I am not very fond off. However, if push came to shove, there is no veggie I could not stomach for the sake of a challenge--same with beverages. Now when it comes to meat and bugs...that's a little different.
In Korea there is this kind of fish that smells like amonia. It is incredibly foul. I don't think I could manage to get that down for a challenge--not unless that was some BIG $$ in it. Also, anything alive and slithering/squirming I cannot touch. Bugs are also out. Koreans eat boiled silkworms--bundeggie--they sell them in street stalls. Nope, no thank you. Luckily, my next challenge will not involve eating anything like that!!
As to your class refund, I guess it's all about who you know, right? It's always good to have friends in somewhat high places. I need to make more friends in Colorado.

You have a very wide knowledge of disgusting food Kimberly. I do hope that you didnt get that while preparing the next challenge. You say - luckily the next challenge will not involve eating any of those things.
One thing is for sure - it will not say "make sure that you eat....... weetabix, skimmed milk, honey shreddies, pears, apples, clementines, plums, kiwi fruit, grapes, baked beans, salmon, breaded plaice" (pick one each week for the duration of the challenge). I reckon that I could cope with that kind of survivor food challenge.
I know one thing - I will not be eating bugs or slithery things.
Many organisations have key people that actually affect the way that the place runs. They might not have highly paid jobs or great job titles - but they are certainly in positions of power.
When Rod was at Vodafone he used to always make sure that he looked after the people from HR. When they came down to Hayes he put on a nice lunch for them. It was never forgotten. When he relocated to Newbury he automatically got the best relocation package. When staffing problems arose they really helped him out.
It was sheer chance that I got to know the ladies in the office at the adult education centre. I have to say that the idea of free toilets en route was a major bonus for me with the amount of walking that I do. It is working out well. I am quite enjoying picking DVDs to buy now.

My wide ranging knowledge of disgusting food comes from watching Survivor and living in Asia for 5yrs... I haven't even made up the next challenge yet. It's all in my head, and in need of being written on paper. One thing, though--it won't be as long as this one. 6 weeks max. I can make no promises of your list of foods making the challenge, though.
I agree that making friends with people in positions of power can prove very useful. I learned that in Korea--where it's not so much what you know, as who you know.

Hi Margaret,
You are absolutely right about walking fast versus slow! In my opinion, any movement is better than sitting on the couch. When someone is overweight they should always start out slow so they don't injury themselves and then abandon exercise all together! When I started out at the gym 2 years ago, I started with 15min on the stationary bike then added 5min each week. This got boring after a while so I ventured onto other cardio machines. As your over all health improves, you increase your exertion.
I wish more people were aware of this and maybe the world would be alot fitter. I'm glad that you have been able to get back to your walking. That is great! Keep it up. You are such a motivator!
Go Blue!

Its true, toilets along even a moderate length route are in desperate need! Luckily I walk in a park that borders the Hudson River, and the park has bathrooms about 1.5 miles down. I always hit them at least once along the way or I know I'll regret it, and my total walk is only 4 miles.
Poor Rod, we all know how it is to have a large appetite that controls us rather than the other way around. Somehow you've managed to harness yours and that has been a big part of this whole thing. Of course like you said, being busy walking and away from food, helps, as does having less fat cells producing harmful hormones that make us hungry (leptin). Sometimes its a vicious cycle.
I'm not surprised that the school returned the money given that the cancellation is related to a health issue which left you no choice but to cancel. That would have been short sighted to not return the money given that it might turn you off to joining next round, when you are feeling better.

Thanks for visiting and your support.

I cannot say that I am surprised that my list of food is unlikely to make the challenge. No-one could ever think that my food was even a little bit disgusting.
I think that the concept of not what you know but who you know works well all over. I know one thing for sure - it really works well in the Greek villages. You know the funniest thing in "My big fat Greek wedding" was where it said that the man was naturally the head of the household - but his wife was the neck - and of course the head went where-ever the neck put it. This is so true. One of my friends is married to the regional mayor. There was once we decided that some road works were really necessary - so we called on Maria when she has her evening coffee. We sat and chatted about life and everything and dropped into the conversation what we had noticed. Two days later we noticed that the road crew was out working on it.
Eldaweesda
I thoroughly understand that people who start off reasonably thin (by my standards) really get very little benefit from slow walking - but the fact is that the world has quite a lot of big people in it - and it is truly quite a good workout for the larger person - and one that is low impact. It can be noted that 8 days after an operation - I was yesterday forbidden from bending, stretching, lifting anything or doing anything energetic - but I still managed to walk 18,115 steps i.e. 7 miles. That is bound to have burnt some calories and had a positive impact on my metabolism. It certainly also made me feel good about my achievement and kept me away from food for over two hours as I never eat when I am out walking.
Claudia
I would say that my appetite is channelled rather than harnessed. It is as huge as ever and I spend an awful lot of the time that I am in the house eating and drinking. Some people can control their appetite by somehow deciding that they are not going to eat very much. I really cannot do that at all. I have managed to persuade myself to not eat such-and-such even though I know that I would enjoy it and have something else instead. This is naturally tougher if you then go on to watch someone else eating such-and-such.
I think that for Rod - we are still awaiting that moment where something just snaps and he decides that he is going to do it - whatever it takes. That is kind of what happened to me once I saw that excessive walking really was giving me results. Temptation is bound to win for him until he gets to that point.
I certainly plan on joining my same classes again next term. It really is quite fun surfing the internet and deciding which exercise DVDs to buy with the money. I have picked out a couple and am still looking into some others. I should be able to acquire quite a nice library which will make a difference during the summer.
Take care
Love

LOL@you and Claudia and your pee breaks while out on your walks. Even when I walk 6 miles I never take a pee break. If I had to, it would have to be behind some bushes, as I walk in the country where there are no public bathrooms. I am not about to knock on someone's door to ask if I can use their toilet.
Also lmao at the BFGW analogy about the head/neck. Your friend Maria is to be applauded for being such an efficient "neck."

Margaret,
I saw "Weetabix" while shopping at this specialty store today and I thought of you!!!! I almost bought it because I would give ANYTHING to lose as much as you have, LOL. Sadly, though, I couldn't really figure out the nutritional content it was all in British units, so..oh well.
MMM..Your chinese meal sounds delicious. And I am laughing at the "Omega 3s" team, that is SO cute! LOL You should get the trophy just for the adorable name.

Margaret,
It looks like I"ve missed a lot in terms of reading you diary. First of all, I am so glad you are doing okay and recovered okay from the operation. I saw quite a few of those emergency operations while I was on surgery, and it's pretty serious to do them right away, so it's a good thing you went to the doc when you did. I can only imagine how much sodium you had in your body and how much it affected your weight!
I saw some new pictures of you, and wow, you look absolutely stunning! I don't even think I would ever recognize you if I knew you a couple years ago. You must be so proud of yourself when you see such progress. Even for me, going down from 138 (what I started at back in August) to 121 made a HUGE difference when I look at before and after pictures, but your pics are just breathtaking! It must be such motivation to keep going when you see progress as great as yours. I love coming on this forum to see people like you and how dedicated and motivated you are. It's amazing how far you have come! I'm excited to be back on here to keep reading diaries and getting inspired!

I wouldnt knock on a stranger's door to use the toilet - but there is nothing to prevent you making friends with strangers that you meet out. If I was passing a friend's house I might ask if I could use their toilet if they were out when I was passing. It never harms to pay a visit to public toilets when the opportunity arises if well into a walk - as it allows you to "restart the clock". Whilst it is more rural in comparison to London - there are not a lot of opportunities to duck into the bushes for that much privacy as there are quite a lot of people fishing and walking their dogs or babies.
My friend Maria has amazing levels of influence in South Rhodes.
Carrie
Weetabix is certainly a healthy choice for breakfast cereal - but I am not surprised that you had difficulty in working out the contents. For a challenge I once tried to put things into that fitday site that everyone uses and gave it up as a hard job. I found it much easier to work it out myself from package labels and other resources. I would imagine that it would be quite expensive there if it was at a speciality store - probably geared towards people like me that wanted something that they liked and understood. I am sure that you will be able to find tons of cereals that will be just as healthy over there in your mainstream products that would enable you to lose just as much weight.
Kimberly invented the Omega-3 name when we were thinking of names for the last challenge. We all thought that it was just so funny. As Kimberly said at the time - there are three of us and we are all inclined to be both fatty and have acidic moments!

I told my husband about you when I was admitted into surgical assessment and was seen by a lady like you that was on her surgical rotation. It was very painful and I did get the impression that it was quite important that the surgery happened quite quickly when it could not be manipulated apart. Things improved dramatically once the surgery took place and I am very pleased with how well my recovery is going - but I am being careful not to be silly with bending / stretching / lifting etc. I thought that you would find familiarity in my diary after spending long hours in that environment.
I am pleased that you like my new pictures. I can imagine how good you feel about your own weight losses. When I was young - I was happy with my weight when I was 119 (which is why I selected it as my goal) - and I can remember how chunky I felt when I was about 130. My weight shot up so quickly from there (to an area totally beyond my control) that I cannot say that I remember what 138 felt like - but I know that I would have thought it very big. The fact that you have brought your weight down from 138 to 121 is a definite accomplishment that I can certainly relate to. You have done really well to hold your losses while being so very busy at work. I could not handle many aspects of the work that you do - but have to say that I am very grateful that there are people like you that do that work and do it well.
Take care

I'm glad you're up and walking again!
I'm also so glad you got to the doctor in time! My stepmother is missing over 50% of her intestines, as they've had to slowly cut away parts that are dying over the last several years. She has been eating only minced and pureed foods from a specific list for the last year and will have to remain that way for as long as her body holds our (which they predict will be less than 2 years) it is sad and painful.
