I currently weigh 81 kg (about 180 pounds) (178cm tall). My peak weight was 93 kgs (about 206 punds). I have been hovering around the same weight for a few months now. It has been hard to carry on loosing weight in the last few months due to the fact that I have given up drinking. I have replaced the pleasure of drinking with eating. and believe summer is a good motivation to get to my goal weight of 72kgs (about 160 pounds). I hope to achieve this by 1st december 2008. and believe with not drinking and keeping to a healthy diet I will be able to reach my goal weight.

I look forward to keeping you up to date with my progress and I hope I can get support here to help motivate me stick to my goals.

G'day mate. Congrats on the loss so far, and good luck for the rest of your journey.

Best to ya. Don't be solely focused on reaching a particular weight. As you near your goal, weight/fat loss tends to slow down a lot. You should be more concerned with looking and feeling great, which no number on the scale can give you on it's own merit.

3 weeks into it and ive lost 6kgs (75kgs on sat 11 oct), a majority of this is probably just fluid but im on my way. Been a little bit distracted this week but will try and be under 75kgs at my next weigh in on saturday.

Hi Cairns.

When you say you've given up drinking, is that giving up drinking alcohol? If it is, has it made much of a difference? You see, I tried to stop drinking but it didn't do anything for me. But I have to say I only drink a couple of wines a week.

kewl, you live in cairns and you were born in 87... SAME :hurray:

Good luck with your journey!
Damn thats a lot of water weight to lose!
