When I moved to the north island in February 2003, I weighed in at 110 kgs which converts to about 242 pounds. I went to see a surgeon about a breast reduction and he told me I was on the waiting list but was unlikely to get any surgery until I got my weight under 100kgs (220 pounds). I did change my diet and I was cycling 10kms and walking 2-5 most days but wasnt really noticing any weight loss. Well, since having gallstones and having to be very very careful about what I eat, and having a high energy job on top of that, I now weigh in at 85 kgs (187 pounds)- which is still overweight but hey, a darn site better than I was!! I dont have any clothes that fit me, I could camp in most of them!

So if anyone here is trying to lose weight and feeling like they are getting nowhere, I have to tell you that it is a real commitment to diet- not just going on a diet but a whole lifestyle change in the way you eat- and dont believe the bollocks about 30mins exercise a day being all you need- its more like 4 hours!
