Hi Guy’s Awesome is to light a word to explan my weekend but I am sure you all know my heart felt feelings to you all as there are just no words great enough to say it with
I am just below my goal total lose of 20.7 kgs 4.4 where lost last weekend and I will not be going back to find them
I now weigh 70.4 But you haven’t seen the last of me yet as I am signing again to just make sure the habit is cemented in my head
and I will be going to give up smoking completely on this challenge
Good luck with yr continual journey’s I am only a text away if I can help in anyway
Anyone coming to Greymouth I will show you coast hospitality and will be highly affended if I hear you have been here without having a tour with Greymouths newest top model (mawa )
Once again guys love you all and thanks from the bottom of my heart xxxx

Please Forgive Me LOL

Hey Guys
OMG It is 6 weeks since I wrote a blog and thanks to all you guys who came looking for me I did get yr messages
I did go missing in action for a while but thought I better get back so that all would be forgiven before I arrive at the retreat
Boy I can’t wait I soooooo need some me time
I have pretty much managed to stay on track I have lost about 17kgs now and only have 3 to go for goal
Pretty sure that monster Ray Kelly will torture that out of me on Retreat LOL
Met up with Phyllis Gaza and Cindy in grey on Friday nite
First time I have seen Phyllis and Gaza since the retreat
It felt so good giving them the old model twirl
I know they say we do it for our self’s but I will forever be in debt to Phyllis Damian and Ray for without their concept I know I would have just gone on more and more diets and just gone up down up for the rest of my life which I am sure would have been sooner rather than later. Now I reckon I got at least another 100 yrs as only the good die young and this old girl has a lot of bad behind her and plans to have a hell of a lot more ahead now I have the energy.
But most of all I hope you guys know that without each and everyone of you I wouldn’t have come this far. I have read yr bloggs even in the times I haven’t wrote mine and have learnt something or been encouraged by at least one of you at the times when I have most needed it and our Tuesday calls have built me up everyweek and encouraged me to go on. I have had so many changes in this last 112 days Not just in size and body but in mind as well and I really love the great me that was buried alive in fat for way to many years But watch out world I’m now back!!!!!

Desi I was sad to hear you won’t be on the retreat was really looking forward to meeting you
To all the returnees can’t wait to see you all again and to the new guys really looking forward to meeting you all
5 more sleeps Guys Take care and love to you all Linda xxxxx

Hi GUYS

Hi Guys
Sorry I been a while writing this time
Been a busy week
Tracey, Tash and the kids have moved in
My house is in total chaos. But kind of fun having them
See if I still saying that by the time they leave (LOL)

I have a very small 2 bedroom house and 4 extra is proving a challenge just fitting them and their Gear in.

See if I still saying that by the time they leave (LOL)

Having lots of mind fights with myself as now have snack food in the house with the kids here
but still ok at moment. Trying to find what they like that I don’t

Paul my 32 yr old son is now starting to get into walking and food with me
He has seen the difference in me so it has inspired him
Hubby toally off now He had lost 7kgs But his sweet tooth has beat him
I can’t controll what he buys away from home so am not fighting with him over it
But he eats what I do or he can get his own
I am a bit upset with him but hey it’s his choice I cant do it all 4 him

My foot is real good now but my knee still not 100%
am walkin 1/2 hr a day and loving it
You can be sure I wont be walking for miles like I started off
The price I have had to pay for that was way to high

Not quite a kg loss this week (800gms) but as I always think a loss is a loss
So I am real happy with the way things are going
Lookin forward to tonites call
Love to you all
XXXX

first shop for cloths that fit

First and foremost today must say My thoughts are with Tracey and her family “All the best Girl “

Welllllll my best shopping day in years was just so full of laughter and I must add I had a couple of tears
Had planned to go dancing with CHCh girls but by 3.30pm decided I wouldn’t risk snow on pass but I will get to one meeting with you guys Hope you all had fun
Anyway my daughter in law (Tash) had day off to take me shopping to have as she said “cloths that make you look as good as you are “
We started with jeans My last pair brought about 2-3 yrs ago where 18′s so I got 16′s my god way too big next came the 14′s Shit OMG too big
then comes 12′s WOW I brought these ones even though I could maybe have gone lower but the roll of skin that is now hanging from my belly showed so stayed with 12′s MY god can you believe that 12 12 12 12 I have to keep saying it cause I still cant believe it. I have to say Tash was amazing
she cryed before me and told everyone in the shop, so they all gathered to dress me. I felt like the Queen getting dressed by the ladies in waiting.
I was very good though and only brought one outfit (My track pants swim on me but I just tightin the string and Tops swim on me but boy I feel the cold now so have a couple of Layers underneath.) as I still have more to lose. My top is a medium instead of 2xL and my boots are now 7 instead of 8′s
I got home and stood for a while in the mirror BOY I LOOK GOOD Even hubby was impressed He said he relized I’d lost alot but now he had the girl back he married except for the wrinkles Well I guess a compliment is a compliment so I took it with the cuddle offered. LOL BLOODY MEN ah
I am having a slack week this week so will be happy if I stay the same with out a gain this week but I still have the weekend and know the kids will have plan’s to get me movin again I am just so enjoying the new me right now and although I would be happy to stay here compared to where I was I am heading for goal Can you just imagie how good I will look then 35 ( vain me )instead of in my 50′s Have also had my hair cut. Quite short for me and what a difference
Well guys I’ll finish on that great note but as always Thanks so much to you all for keeping me going in my bad day’s
love and best wishes to you all and lets all say a pray for Tracey xxx

a loss is a loss

Hey guys Had a reasonable week and lost 800gms so happy with that considering it was mothers day Sunday
The kids and I made breakfast for their mum’s at my house Then My kids made lunch for us all Then my sisters and their kids all had pot luck tea But I was pretty good and kept mostly on track
Some people have decided I need to stop now as I have lost 11.8kgs todate and “I am taking it too far ” How come only fat people seem to say people are too skinny and to make it worst they made plans to diet as well but lasted less than a day
Well goal weight so in sight now and I have no intention of suffering this much pain or beating myself up, just to go back to having to go out feeling like a fat porker or going back to that depressed sad old bag that use to live in my skin.
Jealously must be a sad thing to have .
My family love seeing how much happier the new me is and that makes up for the best knockers life has to send my way
As you can see I am in the best frame of mind I have been in for a very long time
and well and truely back on track, Thanks to all you guys who dragged me through my bad days
Love you all xx

Hi Guys

Been a pretty uneventful week really. Has been great seeing so many on face bk
been for 3 1/2 hr walks this week knee fairly swollen still and foot still needs ice and
strapping but manageing the food at about 95 so hoping that will be enough to give me a loss again this week
Can you believe we R 1/2 way through our challenge Where have all the days gone.
Can someone from CHCH let me know when your next meeting is. Thinking if no bad weather I mite try and come over for the nite

hi Guys sorry it’s been a while few family and friends got flooded so busy trying to help
Not a good week so far Hoping to find some cloudless place and get a walk in this weekend

It’s just so easy to get off track
Well way past my bed time so Hope yr all having great week and yr weekend is even better

Doctors report

Hey guys

Went to Doc this morning and this is amazing

I have been on omeprazole 20mg x4 a day for over 20yrs for a hiatus hernia and bad reflux

a few weeks ago on a call I heard people say that they no longer needed theirs so have been weening myself off and have had none for 3 days

Old doc was amazed

I am also on “THE LIST” to have a bladder operation and had my last scan 7 days ago as I noticed I was not leaking 1/2 as bad Doc said if I keep improving I may not need op Can you believe that. crazy. Why don’t more Doc’s know the power of good food weight lose and exercise. I’m really blown away by it all so if that is not enough to get me and my family on track I don’t know what is . The only bad news is if I don’t stay off my foot he threatens to plaster it

It is so hard not to push it when crutches stop u carrying anything but will try harder to use them more

thanks so much to all u guys that have made such great comments and believe me I have taken it all on board and am feeling more postive this week

Cindy and I am going to meet next week so hope Caroline will contact us and meet up also

Hope you all have a great week

Cheers Linda xx
