Well I have this large flap of skin now left on my tummy - its huge.
Its gross and it hangs down like 10-15cm .
Its a bad side effect of weight loss and it will never disappear without surgery. Surgery will cost me about 10 grand. So ive decided to write a book on weight loss, both factual and my personal experience.
Once ive done that Ill sell it on Trademe repeatedly until i make enough money to cover the cost of the operation.
By the time I get to my goal weight I will be about 70-80kg lighter than i started. Thats a serious weight loss.
Anyway thats my idea - might take some time lol.

Bike the Lake
Well ive been going to the gym less and less now.
Just cycling to work and back, then the weekend before last i went in a Bike The Lake ride.
I did the 42km 1 lap challenge and came 272nd out of 500 odd in my field. It took me 1 hour 44mins.

I choose
I Choose
to live by choice not by chance
to make changes not excuses
to be motivated not manipulated
to be useful not used
to excel not compete.
I choose self-esteem not self-pity.
I choose to listen to the inner voice not the random
opinion of others.

Poem
Don't Quit
When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your grams a bit,
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
If you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!

Sucess!
Here is a comparison photo from a year ago at a BBQ and one taken today. I measured to make sure they were the same size (ie head size from top to bottom etc)
