Go you good thing. I've been in the position where I was grounded for a few months due to injury. Nothing better than the feeling of getting back in the saddle after being told for so long that you cannot. Enjoy.  :beer

Only a temporary setback, then look out, back into it.

From 96 to 79kg since April 23rd. Ate no processed food for 6 weeks, no alcohol, no dairy, no grains, no eggs, no nuts, (no high allergy foods)
I have only broken that occasionally in recent weeks. One recent RTE was shameful.   :EatCake  :fp  OK. So I had a breakout.  :whistle             The objective wasn't for weight loss but that happened as a side benefit.

A few years ago I challenged a colleague to a weight loss competition. Over 9 months I lost 29.7 kg and finished 2 kg below my target.

I won my bottle of plonk and to celebrate I had a "kitchen sink" burger at the lunch bar.

Now I've only got another 22 kg to go. :(

I'm a great believer in that old saying, "we are, what we eat"......so if you want to stay healthy, make sure that what you're eating is good for you, and you don't over eat!

Smoking is a definite no no :-(((...........I gave that away donkey's years ago, when I was young everyone smoked, but fortunately I wised up before it had an adverse effect. In the Ambulance Service I see so many younger people than myself with respiratory and cardiac problems caused from smoking. :crazy

Exercise is every bit as important as eating well...they go hand in hand! I became actively engaged in competitive water skiing from about 28 years of age and spent the next 12 years skiing every weekend of the year (I was a banana bender then), I followed that up with racing catamarans and windsurfing every weekend for many years, then I became interested in Martial Arts and have trained numerous times every week in karate for the past 24 years, I still practice and teach weekly, it's become a way of life for me. Also spent a few years riding and racing a race bike (cycle) in Brisbane 15 years ago, as well as running 4kls every morning before work. I still run 4kls occasionally on the beach here but not quite as often as I should.

I've been fairly active for a very large part of my life, for no other reason than I enjoy it, and it's had the added benefit of keeping me fit and healthy.

I'm very likely one of the oldest members in our club, if not the oldest, and I'm not saying exactly how old I am, but just for the record, I was born in 1940!! :grin

Move out of the smoggy smellie cities into the country where the air is clear and you drink rain water.
Ok for the first 2days it was Deli Belly and I wasn't even there.
Anyway that was July 14 and it  is now October 18. And have gone from 128kg to 112kg
My knees don't even hurt to much, hell I can even do some jogging .
The best part it is so damn peaceful 
That is the bestest way of loosing weight that I know off.
Well that and only 1 meal a day which is a big breakfast .

Tipsy
I am lost and haves gone to find myself
Now If I get back before I return
Please ask me to wait.

A lazy sunset ride of 25k's with the men in my life, was so nice riding in the dark and not searching for roo's like the last night time FarRide. Fun and fitness at the same time  :thumbs

Is that because you can't catch a roo on a pushie, or because you can't see them with your liddle lights?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

In preparation for the OzSTOC IBA1600, I have been on the get healthy bandwagon (yes I got slack, as you all saw with the jacket fittings)

So I am doing a 4 day a week 1 hour boot camp sessions, with 2 games of 40 Minute mixed netball on a Monday and a Wednesday, and in 4 weeks I have achieved the below:

MEASUREMENTS 12/08/2014

Chest: 115cm
Stomach: 120cm
Waist: 110cm
Weight: 106.5kg

Measurements 25/08/2014

Chest: 112cm
Stomach: 114cm
Waist: 110cm
Weight: 103.9kg

Measurements 08/09/2014

Chest: 106cm
Stomach: 110cm
Waist: 106cm
Weight: 101.5

So 5kg and 2 shirt sizes and a pants size I am pretty happy, another 4 weeks to go yet!
