Don't give up I have had a few false starts before getting all the weight off. And I don't have kids. So I was able to stay focused

funny you say that. on a recent visit to Melbourne, I had some friends walk straight past me.

So the job is now done made BMI a few weeks ago. from 127kg to 83.7

As a tanker driver in QLD i give pushbike more room and even change lanes and move back over after the pass. its bad for bike riders they can't pass the traffic like motorcycles thats why i would not ride a pushy on the road.

with weight watchers you still have all the normal foods and sugar.

The health care system is not good. In the late nineties i had and issue with my left ankle and was on the victorian waiting list for years. it was never fixed i just had to live with it. fast forward to 2014 and my right knee started to give out on my i had to stop work. But i was lucky that my employer had to hold my job for me. I had private health cover so i was in hospital and had a full knee replacement and back at work in two months. I just had to pay hospital excess. The cost to do the replacement was 35g

Hi Spacesailer Are you able to get a replacement hip?

I was watching an old ABC four corners report from the 1961 and the people where well spoken they were also average size. These day they say parents will outlive their kids. one reason why is kids get driven to school these day. myself we rode or walked an hour each way to school.

I did that blood sugar test and passed. I am glad i didn't take it eight months ago.

Maybe you should not take wine and cheese and pies camping with you.

You are right Clinton. I am a sixties child and it was unheard of eating take away. I live in mackay and they won the award for the most overweight town in QLD And the other day they were celebrating the facts mcdonalds now sells burgers and fries 24/7. we are doomed.

I love coffee. I am like kyle i do all the cooking chicken beef veggies at least six days a week. Also stopped eating KFC in feb this year.

Your right at 54 i lift less weight but do more repetitions. but when i was a spring chicken i was big weights!

your very lucky franco are you one of those people who can eat what they want

Kyle I have heard the surgery doesn't work for everyone. but this is not shared by the people who sell this option.

I had a relative who went to thailand for weight loss surgery RISKY! I know. anyway i didn't want to go down this path as i have heard people cheat with milk shakes and stuff like that. I feel it's a lifestyle and mindset and keeping on top of that so you don't put it back on. One for me is ride days at motorcycle tracks you have to fit into your leathers. and i know you can get them made bigger but weight slows you down.

I haven't looked at the CSIRO diet. I like weight watchers because you use points and eat the same food but less of it. And if you reach your goal weight you get life membership at no cost.

Ok i joined weight watchers in march and about april i joined anytime fitness. I spend ninety minutes in the gym five to six days a week and weight in at WW on saturday.

Great work mate. what did you do to lose the weight?

That is a concern. but i have made lifestyle changes and stay away from trigger foods.

we all start somewhere my right was replaced four years ago. so hips knees and other things don't let it hold you back.

Thanks guys and to kyle and your wife congrats. i can't say enough about the change. my doctor told me last week after working in Mackay for five years i am the first person he has told they no longer have hypertension. and sleep apnea.

Four adults in a 172 is a big load it would of been at the high end of its limits. I saw the story and video and that turn was very steep and low. we all know how that story ends.

I an going to do mine soon. As i just found out i live next door a DAME.
