Hi guys started the couch to 5km app today! Feeling great! It wasn't too bad actually- lots easier than the first time I tried to do it going to try to run Four times a week and drop the yoga back to 3 days to see if that helps to drop this last 10kg Happy Sunday guys !!

Absolutely Sue!!! That would be great!!

So I went to Melbourne and had the most amazing trip!! Went to the Monet Exhibition, Met up with Kelli, discovered the wonder that is Chadstone and met a personal hero all in 5 amazing days. So my suitcase weighed 12.5 kg on the way to Melbourne and 22.5 kg when I left today lol. I shopped at VERONICA MAINE and got beautiful clothes in size 14 bought two dresses from Diana Ferrari in a MEDIUM! Bought shoes, books, pressies for my nephew had an amazing time. But the most amazing thing?? I WALKeD! Everywhere! We roughly worked it put based on where I had been and in the past week I walked 32 km no way could I have done that before!!! I. LOVE. MY. SLEEVE!!!!!! Love, Liss

Hey Aussiegirl- how's it going??? You must be getting excited for your surgery- it's next week right???

Hi guys - as a psychologist I just want to add that not all anti- depressants cause weight gain and if you are taking one that does just talk to your MD about getting onto a different med. anti depressants are really important and too often I hear people going off their meds due to weight gain rather than trying another type which can really compromise their wellbeing. Not saying you would go off them but it's something I hear quite frequently

So Kelli and I managed to catch up for brekky Which was great!! Even got a kind staff member to take a pic Hoping to see Kelli and our other Brissy/ Gold Coast friends in October!!

That sounds great I am having connection troubles lol so didn't think my first post went up and then I just got your subsequent ones!! I will see you at 7:15!!

I am at Mantra on the Park but can meet you anywhere you will just have to let me know an address or a landmark to use as a reference point

So I am in Melbourne for a conference but have had some free time so went to the National Gallery and the conference is at the MCG so of course I had to get some photos saw the Monet exhibit- incredible!! Having a blast!!! Another NSV- walking all around Melbourne without even breaking a sweat!! Walked nearly 10km today and I wasn't even puffed!! Love my sleeve!!

Wishing you all the best Suesue!! Kick cancer ass!b

I used super too- it was fine. Quick and easy really- I had thought it would be harder. Your dr will know what they need to write- you can actually access the legislation yourself if you'd like its online. Cheers Liss

I know!! And before I couldn't lower the tray as it hit my belly!! Now there is inches and inches of space!!! I love that!!

Flew today- first time post-op. last time I couldn't fit in the seats or the belt- the extension belt only just fit. Now??? Normal seat, normal belt that I had to tighten about 5 inches!! Tray table was DOWN ladies (and gents)!!! Waiting for my connecting flight on a bigger plane - hoping it'll be even roomier Doing a happy dance in my head right now!

Hey Aussiegirl!! Wow that has come around quick!! Can't wait to hear how things went!! And to see those after shots!! I know what you mean about hiding the bits you don't like- I feel the same way, particularly my arms and tummy. I am hoping that this last bit of weight off will help but I am not confident about it at all...

Thanks Sue I feel so much different too! Here is a before and after sometimes I get taken aback lol- is that arrogant???

So I went blonde!!! And I love it happy Saturday!

Oh thank goodness!! Weight is shifting again - lost 1.2kg since Monday...so relieved!!

Yay Helen!!! So happy for you!!!

You're probably right- I don't count carbs but I track with my fitness pal and checked- it suggests 197 g of carbs per day. So sorry about that That being said, I seem to average about 60g of carbs per day do maybe I should look at increasing that too!! Particularly since I have stalled with my weight loss the last few weeks...
