Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Congratulations Kerry, i know how hard it is to allow someone to take your photo and even harder to look at them ourself. So what if it takes us longer then others, as long as we are focus with the big picture we will win. I bit like if you look after the shilling, the pounds will look after themself, same here only with our journey. If that makes sense. you know that 56k in 26 months is at least a 250gm of fat lost every week, that's great and good for your body to lose it gratally, stops some of the sagging that we get after loosing weight. Welldone and keep up the good work, you should be mighty pleased with your success. Best wishs Barb > > Howdy all, > > Hope you all had a wonderful Melbourne Cup.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Kerry you look fantastic - you should be so proud of yourself. You have lost the weight of a whole person (well a skinny minnie anyway - LOL) and you must feel like a million dollars. You have the right attitude too, slow and steady. Can you imagine all the weight lost with all the Sydband members. Do you have the Oz lotto TV ad up there with the over flowing truck of money? I bet if we filled it with all our weight loss in kilos, we would need several trucks. I have one of those revolting rubber moulds that Xenical give to chemists - it simulates 1 kilo of fat and I keep it in my kitchen as a reminder to how far I have come. When I look at it and see how disgusting and huge even 1 kilo is - it makes me feel good. I'm on my latest plateau but that's OK - next week another fill and hopefully will kick off another couple of kilos. Cheers Cherie > > Howdy all, > > Hope you all had a wonderful Melbourne Cup.
