So, last Tuesday (2/8/2011) he went to the doctor for the flu. His weight was 115kgs and his BP 165/110. So the dr put him on BP meds - which have worked well, he's back in the normal range, and we have BOTH gone on the health and beauty kick.
On 1 August when I weighed myself I had crept back up to a depressing 120kgs. We are both 170cms (5'7") so both of us were way over normal. My BP is generally about 130/85-90, a bit high but considering my weight not too awful.
So, we weighed again on Sunday, Warwick was down to 110.6, I was 119.4. But I on Wednesday was down to 111.4! I'll probably have a bounce back though, our official weigh in is Sunday. I've virtually given up carbs, so hard t do for me, even though I only have gluten free anyway, and we have been walking almost every day.
I'm so pleased. Will keep you posted. Be nice to be under 100kgs by Xmas.

Great to see you both powering through and getting some amazing results! It's always a great feeling eating the right foods and exercising, sometimes we take it for granted but it's what our body really needs
Keep us updated, I love hearing about other people's success!

Even my legs are looking slimmer but I've been blessed with gigantic thighs so it will take a lot of hard work to get rid of them
I might join you Jen, with some photos, just need to find the least embarrasing ones first
Andrew, you are doing such a fantastic job, you must be so happy! I have had a bit of a bad couple of weeks with flu, bad eating and little to no exercise so I was back up to 80.3kg on Tuesday morning but as of this morning I'm back in the 70's, down to 79.8kg
A bit of a set back but I am determined to continue moving forward now and feel really renewed in my efforts which is great! I am getting my hair done in early September so my goal by then is at least 77kg, hopefully less
Need to update this thread more to keep me accountable
I have also begun a two months healthy food and exercise challenge which means NO bad foods, treats or anything and no alcohol for two whole months. And at least 5 days of exercise every week. One week down, 7 to go
