I'd like to say thanks. :)
Yesterday was a crazy day when it comes to FatSecret interaction. That can of worms I opened the day before yesterday was a much bigger one that I had ever expected. I actually got my first hate mail, "how dare you tell us what to do - yadda yadda yadda", as if the person had never read my initial post in the thread. (for new readers, go check out the "Don't be a stranger" thread in the forum - it's great entertainment!)
It even went as far as me being triggered for moderation by the FatSecret mystic man in the clouds before I could post anything again. LOL!
However, I got at least twice as many positive messages, comments and appreciative mails, and a gazillion buddy requests in the last two days, and that really made me happy. It's really nice to see that what I am trying to do here is really helping some people out, and it's really nice to see and share the results of everyone's hard work. Losing weight is SO much easier when we do it together. I for one could not have done this without the FatSecret forum and the more experienced people in there when I first started. I had so many questions (and still do) and I was desperate to get things right. I was quite baffled when the first one came and asked me for help. I had to ask why they asked
me, not even realizing that I might have something to offer.
It made me think, and I decided to get involved, and I love doing it, and I love when you guys benefit from it. It's the best!
Now, I have changed things around a little bit. I have changed the name of "my" diet to Indulgence Diet. I'm thinking of changing it again, to remove the word Diet. I hate that word. I gotta ponder a little more on this. I have also removed the info from my bio, and put something more related to me. It's a work in progress, but I wanted to share a little more about me as a person. Don't worry though, I have posted the Indulgence Info in my blog at http://kingkeld.blogspot.com - it's there for everyone and anyone to use.
Now, today's results: I am down to a new, lowest weigh-in! :) I am today at 89.5 kgs, 100 grams lower than I have been before. I can't even remember ever being this low - it must have been when I was 15 or so (I turn 42 in a couple of weeks!). This is amazing. I feel so good and I am so happy about my new life - I want everyone to have that!
I found this picture of me, I believe it's from 1989 or 1990. Just to show that I'm actually thinner today than I was in my early twenties (and that I was a true rocker back then also!).
Also, I talked to the doctor yesterday, about my 77 kg goal to qualify for the skin removal surgery. I simply can't grasp how I'll look at 77, and it kinda scares me. I'm not intimidated by the fact that I have to drop another 12.5 kgs, I can do that, but I think I will be TOO thin for charm, looks and comfort, but I'll have to see when I get closer. It turns out that there maybe IS an alternative, and I am waiting to get more details on that, whether I qualify for that, and if I do - then when? I will keep you posted.
Speaking of loose skin, I changed my profile picture. I figured we could all use a good laugh. Enjoy.
It's Friday, gang! It's last (and shortest!) work day of the week. I am determined to go hit the gym straight from work, burn some calories, come home, cook for my lovely wife, then go rock out on my AMAZING BASS all evening. We're hoping to record some of our rehearsal tonight - if it comes out nicely I'll let you guys get a listen.
Oh, and there was one more thing... what was it?... oh yeah... :
LIFE IS GOOD!
