As for computer nerdery, not too many people I know started with COBOL on a Radio Shack Model 2! That's what was available when I began in 1980. I'm on my 8th language now (J2EE) and getting tired of learning new languages.

Ahh languages re all the same, the rest is just syntax :)
Not sure i deserve the whole oprah thing though, seriously. There are other people on this board who are just as determined and lost just as much weight etc.

Bike ride is on May 5th 8.30am. Im guessing it will probably take about 4-5 hours. If i can sustain 30km an hour 3 hours which is what im hopeing, but im guessing ill tire and be only able to sustain 25km an hour towards the end.

We'll see anyway :D
 
Wtf is this Oprahs Couch thing? I know Oprah, and shes pretty cool, but ive never heard of her couch being something special.

her couch got a lot of press when tom cruise hopped over it in some sort of seizure like event... :D

Jerry springer would be way more low brow and more my style - though Oprah does have her diet of the week so if we hit it right - it could work with her theme :D

That is so cool that you hit your goal... your brother must be doing backflips... :)

Oh yeah i saw that clip, they made a big deal about it that he jumped up and down like a maniac or some shit. i watched the clip and all he did was stand up, i mean big deal, my kids do more than that when on their BEST behavior!
Anyway, im only going on her couch if Mal, M2M, T2, etc etc all come too :D

My brother seems to be happy which is cool :D

Well i talked my old Cycling buddy into doing this 90km race with me on the 5th May. Hes not the most motivated cyclist at the best of times, in fact unless i go kick him out of bed he doesnt go at all!

Anyway, i said im not gonna nag him or anything, im just told him i was gonna whip his ass in this race :D

Yesterday as i was leaving my office my Boss says "Dont fucken bring your bike into the work place, leave it in the garage downstairs" Referring to the underground carpark below the office, normally i wouldnt give a hoot except for the fact that my bike cost me $3k (marked down from 4k) and a workmates car was ripped off from that garage less than a week ago. Grrr!

Anyway, i couldnt ride into work today like i did yesterday due to sucky weather. I hate riding in rain :O I sure hope its good weather when i do the 90km race!
 
Well that really sucks if you can't bring your bike in...if that's the case you may be better off getting a used bike to ride into work...I can't imagine getting one of my bikes ripped off. I would be pissssssed.
 
Husband works in the office next door, he said that i could put it in his building.
The other alternative is to just work it out i the gym i suppose. Also after hours.

Oh now, HOW cool would that be???
T2 and I have joked about rounding up a WLF contingency for Oprah before. Weightloss Support Groups of People Who've Never Met

We could be STARS :)

I would be very, very pissed about not having a safe location for your bike, good thing your husband works close!

Oh yeah, that would be TOTALLY cool if we could all meet up sometime and hang out for a week.
Maybe we should have a 5 year reunion type thing in 5 years, that way we will have time to save :D

As for the Oprah thing - would fantastic and awesome, but seriously the forum would go to ruin from all the new users lol.
 
If Oprah holds the show in Vegas, I'm in. I seen enough Chicago to last me a lifetime thank you very much.

Yeah the Oprah thing would be way over the top cool :)
 
If its any consolation i plan to be doing a magazine spread once ive donated the kidney.
Not so much for the glory of weight loss (though im sure ill give mention to you guys) but to highlight the need for more kidney donors.
 
HI Wishes!! Sorry your boss is giving you a rash about your bike. I'm glad your husband can store it at his workplace though. I'm thinking of getting a bike now that the weather is better......
 
Howdy Wishes,
Pain in the butt BOSS atleast you have a place to put your bike but your boss could have been nice and let you store it there I am sure there is somehwhere, where it wouldn't be in the way.Goodluck on getting your buddy to do the race with ya that woild be fun.Have a nice day Tammy
 
Im making a pact with myself here. Im a meat eat primarily. Im not much into veges and fruit a lot. So im gonna try and eat at least 2 cups of fruit and/or veges a day excluding potatos.

I started today by having a massive salad today made with 3 cups lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes and half a cup of carrot with 100gms of chicken bacon sprinkled through it for flavour. Took me a while to eat it but it was filling and tasted ok.
 
I decided it was time for a clean out of subscribed threads today.
I ws subscribed to over 600 threads - i deleted anything that hadnt been posted in for more than a month and managed to get it down 100 or so.

The reason i did it was that for some reason my own diary thread suddenly 'unfiled' itself from "my own threads" which was very weird.

My friend is being induced today to hve her twins - friday the 13th!
Anyway they broke the waters on the boy (Flynn) and shes been labouring all day. But the girl baby (Crystal) hasnt turned yet.
Not to sure how its gonna pan out but im hopeing she can give birth naturally rather than go the option of C-Section.

Also, some more cool news. I get to babysit 3 kittens for 2 weeks! :D This is gonna be great, i can take some cool photos of them and play with them!
I love kittens, but im allergic to them when they get older (not violently so though, only if i touch them or somebody who has touched them.)
 
Ho hum, yet another post to my diary.
I had mashed pumpkin for dinner - yum my all time fav veg.
Also finished of the pack of chicken bacon in a bacon sammie.
The problem with eating healthy foods is that they have next to NO calories :/

So ive eaten today
Breakfast
2 slices of toast with 5 rashers chicken bacon between them (60+60+100+40(marg)=260)

Lunch
1 super mega huge salad with chicken bacon bits in it (18+100=118)

Dinner
2 cups mashed pumpkin
(100cal)

Thats like a total of 478. Add in the milk & coffees for maybe another 100kcal .. eek!
I think i may finish off the chicken bacon between a couple slices of toast (same as i had for breakfast - yes im trying to use up all the bacon lol)
 
Ooh, exciting news about the twins, I hope all goes well.
I love cats, but I'm badly allergic to them, so it narrows my interest of being with them in watching cats and kittens on tv and in photographs. Post some to the site, if you get good ones. Fortunately the internet is allergen free. ;)
About the veg, where I live the health authorities recommend 400-500 grams of veg&fruit a day. With a big salad as one meal and maybe an orange and some grapes/strawberries as a snack I can do that easily. But on a day when I don't do salad as main dish it's hard to eat that much of those. So most days end up eating a salad meal anyway..
The biking season is about to start here in the north as well. :cool: I'm thinking of whether I'll buy myself a new bike or get the old one a general overhaul. It's in a really bad state, but I've had it for 20 years. But at least nobody wants to steel it. :D
Have a good day there!
Juliette
