58.4Kg lost, now for the last 16.6

Another month is gone, another 6kg gone, it has slowed down of course but in combination with going to the gym, building up some muscle I am really happy with the result. I am getting to a stage where I am really starting to feel like counting down, I have gone from a 7XL size clothing to a 3XL and I feel better than ever. Sometimes something bad really turns into something great and I am happier for it :) Pretty proud of the fact that I have been able to do it with just the support of my family and friends rather than pills, potions and other remedies. If it works for other people.. great of course but I am happy just doing it the natural way. Anyway, here is to getting rid of those last pesky kg's lol

7.7Kgs destroyed permanently

Another month gone and another 7.7Kgs gotten rid of. Now at 146.3Kgs so that means I have about 36 to go. Hopefully I'll be able to do that in 4 months or so but I tell you what I feel so so much better than I used to. My diabetes is under control as well with an average blood count of 5.5 and I really have my hopes set to be able to get off the medications when I've reached the target weight, only time will tell of course but it'd be awesome if that could come through. Anyway enough for now.... See you next month!

Gone With The Wind ... 10.2kgs That Is

Another 3 weeks and a bit have passed and another 10.2kgs has disappeared on top of my other total. To say that I am more than happy with this result is an understatement to be sure. Today I also went to the eye doctor and my eyes do not have bleeds to the back of them so that was great news too. I have not reached a plateau yet it seems but I am afraid it will come, so as of next week I will be changing my workout regime by riding to work only on Sunday, also riding the bike on my days off, Wednesday and Thursday and the other days I will be going to the gym for some working out on the good old muscles and abs and all the other stuff that needs, well, tightening ;) Really looking forward to it but yes, a total loss of 45kg in 3 months and a bit.. I am very very happy :)

Another 7.2 kgs down, a few more to go ;)

Ok, 7.2KGS lost in the last 3 weeks, totalling just over 35kgs in total now. Needless to say that I am stoked with that. I still have a long way to go but I am getting there slowly but surely.
It has been a while since I blogged on here, mainly due to time restraints. I am really trying to make it a point of exercising every single day and eating as healthy and little as I possibly am allowed by my apps I use.
MyNetDiary is the main food app that I use and the great thing about this particular app is that it tells you what you can eat and will not allow you to lose more than 2kgs a week, which is the healthy amount. This is includes the fear of most people who are on a diet of putting it back on when the target has been reached. Once I do reach the target it will revert to a setting called 'Maintain Weight' and well.. that does exactly what it says it does.
In the next couple of weeks I will start putting my rides on the bike on here as well to get this going a little bit more but for the moment, this will have to do.

Walking Home and Riding To & From Work

On Tuesday I went with Sharon to weigh at the PMC, because they have a proper scales and it turned out  have now lost 28.5kgs since the beginning of January. I could not be happier with that result. I know it will plateau at some stage but to lose this much so fast, I feel great, it is such a major win when I actually fit into clothes again that had been stored away because I had become too big for them.
Last Wednesday we went to see Dr. Champion and I think he was very pleased with my progress because he only wants to see me again in 3 months! He was more interested in the apps on the iPhone I use to keep track of everything than anything else, which is great because that just meant I am doing the right thing. I do have to thank everyone around me, Sharon, Emma & Beth, all my friends who have been so supportive of the things I have to do and even of some of the things I do not have to do but I want to do.
The last two weeks have marked major wins for me, I have walked home on a hot day and on a rainy day. It is the walking home that gets me, I actually am feeling I want to walk, I am actually enjoying it very much. Last Sunday I rode home on the bike and today I actually rode to work and will be riding home as well, so so stoked about that! Here are the two results for both ride, to and from work.

Here is the morning one from home to work:

Here is the afternoon from work to home:

So, somehow I lost 200 meters somewhere lol oh well, great fun and I beat the rain lol
Thanks for reading everyone!

Another 12 days, another 6.8kg

The hard work of  the last 12 days has paid off, I was a little dubious due to the fact that we went away as well and had Emma's birthday in between but keeping the working out going, it has worked out fine. Tomorrow I am going to see Dr. Champion, the Endicronologist and to be honest, I am not really looking forward to it. Mainly due to the fact that I actually do not know what he is going to do, or not do for that matter.
Last Sunday I actually rode home from work on the bike for the first time and that was awesome, I canot wait to be able to ride to and from work every day. Yesterday, I walked home from work for the first time and I made it! Something I did not think I was going to be able to do a little while ago.
Still dieting of course, keeping things moderate, saying no to things I never even thought twice of in the past. Yesterday evening, I came to a horrible and absolutely shocking realisation. Even though I can still have the Dutch Cheese Fondue, I cannot actually have it on something because the fondue is eaten by dipping little pieces of bread in the cheese stew. I am gutted lol
So, I will report here after I have been to Dr. Champion tomorrow, wish me luck !
