Mornin Tomble! The images in that link are just amazing! I'm here at work..doing my overtime stuff... In the town we live in, they've had 2 major fires that have evacuated the whole county... we don't have that type of growth afterwards though. Don't worry about the water weight! You'll be able to sweat it off in no time with all your walking! Have a good one!

It's pretty impressive. I've been bushwalking in areas not too far from my home where fires had devastated the plants, and within months it's all green. The trunks are all blackened, but it was amazing to see how quickly it all came back to life.

A bit heavier on the scales this morning, but less than I had expected. That's what a litre of water before bed will do! I was lucky I wasn't running to the bathroom all night.

Hey Ryan, thanks so much! I like to think I can give back to the community some of what I get from it. I hope you're enjoying my progress even half as much as I am!

G'day Tammy,

How are ya, mate? The weathers abso-bloody-lutely beaut, I've been walking my arse off. Today's a bit of a scorcher though. It's been yonks since I felt this fit. Anyway, can't stay here waffling on all day, I'd better nick off and get back to work! It's hard yakka but it keeps me busy!

Hiya Felici! The way time passes as I get older, I think that in what feels like no time I will be doing the Super Happy Dance as I reach my goal, but it still feels like a long way! It doesn't discourage me though, it just makes me more determined to get there.

Also, I meant to tell you that I pinched the colourful layout of your signature. I liked the red/amber/green colour layout much more than what I had, but couldn't remember whose it was to thank them! So, thanks!

No worries. I noticed that we had the same colours, but wondered if it was just a case of great minds! I also thought it might be a common idea that I had picked up without noticing. You have improved on the thought though - in design and numbers!! Keep up the good work. :) :)
 
I am beginning to really regret not having photographs of myself at my heaviest weight. I have a couple, taken by friends, but they are not very clear, I would have been better taking some pics specifically for the purpose of showing off my extra weight. Even just a shot of me standing in good light would have been better, the only shot I could find was of me about to wrestle a guy at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

It's not a real surprise that I didn't have photographs from that time, I couldn't stand looking at myself, hated mirrors and large reflective surfaces... I also hated being photographed... I was NOT happy, and the whole `eat because you're depressed' is a pretty bad way of getting long term happiness!

:p Ha ha I was stopping by to say Howdy! I don't have many before's
they are scarce and scary! I try to dodge the camera whenever posible!
Well have a gr8 day,Tammy:)
 
Wow! I bought a Garmin 205 - a gps that fits on your wrist and is designed for walkers and runners. I'm happy to find out that the distance I had calculated to get to work on foot is almost exactly right, but where I had calculated the calories burned for a walk to work as being around 450, this tells me that I burn 820 CALORIES EACH WAY!! Whoa!!!

No wonder I have been losing weight! I think the difference is that most calorie calculators assume a flat surface, but the walk has a few hills which I guess burn more energy. If I walked to and from work every day, that would be an extra 8000 calories a week burned!

It also stores all the walks on a program on my PC, so I will have an accurate record of all the distance I have covered. Pretty cool stuff! Now I really want to start racking up some serious distance!
 
Wow Tomble!! That's awesome that you are burning that many cals! My eyes bugged out. I did 30 mins on the ellptical thing and thought I was dying!! Keep up that weight loss!:D
 
WOW good for you, you are burning them up like crazzzy...isnt that great to know...you are only fueling your body...excellent!!!
 
Woohoo! 103.5kg!!! 227.7lb!!! I am sooooo close to the half way mark :) :) :) :)

Oh, also I discovered that if I untuck my shirt, I need the last belt hole on my belt! Unexplored territory!

Congrats on the halfway mark for yourself!
In this case, it appears that the glass is HALF EMPTY now, isn't it?
The GPS device you have sounds pretty cool too.
Keep on truckin', er, WALKING/RUNNING!
