Way to go McPsych - well done on yr first weeks weight and cms lost. Two weeks already without booze, trust me, that part just gets easier as its just a bad habit albeit an enjoyable one! Haha, my drug of choice in the past when not on Cohens was the booze so yr not alone there! Pandora

Welcome mcpsych!

Glad to hear you aren't missing alcohol much... I imagine that would be difficult. I was never a big drinker... lucky for me.

I started a little over 2 weeks ago, and I look forward to following your journey!

Hi mcpsych,

Welcome to the forum. Hope you find lots of good advice and i know that you will get lots of support here.

Another boy here to make all us girls jealous about how fast you lose.

Seriously though, well done on your first week. It may seem like a long journey ahead but I reckon you will surprise yourself with how quickly it really goes.

Welcome Mcpsych,

Congrats on kg lost in a week and 20cm WOW !!!
And re the biscuit smell it is horrible to smell things like that when your first starting off makes the mouth water

.

Good luck and will follow your progress .

great start, good on you

mcpsych · #10 26-10-2009, 10:46

lost another 10 cms ( total 30)- interesting gained two cm on thighs ( but they are magnificent hehe)
profile now reduced by 9cms
happy as a pig in ****
have a chest infection - will be interesting to see if antibiotics effect loss

MissNix · #11 26-10-2009, 11:56

Poor you having a chest infection

Hope you feel better soon!

I was antibiotics for tonsillitis for 2 wks when i first started and my weight loss was slow in the first month... but needed them to help clear the infection - so it is just something to be aware of. The weight loss did catch up a little when i came off them though - i dropped 5kg in 9 days.

Well done on the cm loss - that's great!!

CharlieMia · #12 26-10-2009, 12:50

Wow a 10cm loss is great! When you think about it that is what it is all about the - the cm lost!!!

Well done and hope you feel better soon.

I'm sorry McP, but I just had to Lmfao @ this post

Well done for doing the right thing, and offering your prawns to your wonderful Wife

I also wanted to say a HUGE Congrats to you on your 1st weigh in..what an awesome achievement

*secretly wishes that I too could be like McP on my 1st weigh in, but highly doubt it*

Keep up the fantastic work you're doing, and I look forward to hearing more about your journey, BOTH on the weigh loss front and the work front.

Mwah,
