I love being a loser!
Hello to all.
I have been trying to post here for some time now. If you all see this, then I've fixed the problem! (changed my newsreader). Well, it's been a long time since I've popped my head in here (been a lurker mainly... never had much to report), but now I'm on the right track as far as determination is concerned, I've decided to give ASD another go. I'm Australian, 39 (*gasp* 40 this year!) married with 4 kids. Since seeing my sister at Christmas, after she lost 30 kilo (about 60 pounds I think) in 6 months, I asked her (after getting my jaw off the floor) to show me what she was doing, which I am doing now. (BTW, she has since then lost a total of 40 kgs). I started off eating 1200 calories, and up to 35g carbs per day. Now I am eating about 1000 cals per day, but my carbs can vary from10g to the full 35g. Not planned, just works out that way on some days. I use a palm-top program called "Calorie King" (but the Australian edition). If I lost this little gadget, I'd be LOST! It is my saviour. It calculates everthing I put into my mouth, or *about* to go into my mouth. I can be on the ball wherever I may be with this little 'toy'. anyway... I started on the 29th December, weighing *cringe* 107 kilo. The first week I lost 4.4 kg. I know most of that is water loss, but encouraging none the less. Week 2: lost 1.8 kg Week 3: lost 1.2 kg Week 4: lost 1.8 kg Week 5: lost 2.0 kg Week 6: lost 1.6 kg Week 7: lost 2.2 kg Week 8: lost 1.6 kg Week 9: lost 1.4 kg Week 10: lost 1.2 kg Week 11: lost 1.2 kg Week 12: lost 1.4 kg Week 13: lost 1.0 kg Week 14: lost 1.4 kg Week 15: lost 1.6 kg Week 16: lost 0.4 kg Week 17: lost 1.8 kg Week 18: lost Nil Week 19: lost 0.6 kg Week 20: lost 1.6 kg Week 21: lost 0.2 kg Week 22: lost 0.4 kg Total loss so far, 31.4 kg (that includes up to today) I weigh myself everyday, but officially weigh on Mondays. Today I weighed at 75.6 kg. I am walking, eleptical & weights for exercise. (And I've also put a rowing machine on lay-by). Will keep you all posted each week after my weigh-in & let you know how I'm doing. Have always enjoyed reading the posts on ASD, now I hope to contribute a little also. All the best, Gayle |

You should post more often, Gayle. Your progress is impressive and I'm
sure we could learn from your experience. Welcome Beverly "Gayle Harrison" wrote in message ... Hello to all. I have been trying to post here for some time now.
