WOW WOW WOW WOW
OMG

Rosemary - you look sensational - well done.

You are an inspiration - I start again tomorrow!

Rosemary....You are beautiful....Keep up the good work, but not so much that you disappear altogether. Its a pleasure to hear Josh sing as I visit to, just sorry that I missed Il Divo.

Wow! Roseee you look GREAT!I think you need a award or something,we must think of something !
maybe a sugar free rose!

Dramatic change rosemary. Good for you. I'll bet you feel so much better.

Beautiful Il Divo song Rosemary! Loved it, and still remember the Righteous Brothers version which always melted my heart!

CG
it certainly melts the heart.
will find the righteous brothers version also and post for tomorrow.

I decided to change the youtube to the righteous brothers for the english version of the song, will repost the Il Divo one tomorrow.

Hello Rosemary - I love your latest photo, you are doing well and looking good. Well done. I wish I could say the same about me.

Years ago I used to tape a lot of songs off 'Rage' (when they still had decent songs on there), and I managed to get a film clip once showing the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody, it really is lovely to be able to watch it as well as listen to it. Not that I do very much.

Rosemary - I just read your comment on Parent's Page about Johnathan, so I left a comment then pasted it on here also.

Yes, Rosemary, I am missing him lots and did feel a bit teary eyed seeing it. Especially because I used to see him nearly every day and babysit him a lot before they firstly moved up north and now to N.Z. I have spoken to him on the 'phone a couple of times.

Hi Rosemary - I actually bought them a webcam for a going away present and they move into their own rental house this week so Amanda will be able to set it up. I don't have the camera, only a mike, so once they're set I'll buy myself one. Might also treat my other daughter to one for her next birthday and we can have three way chats.
I'm listening to one of my Il Divo CD's right now then will put another one of theirs on. They are brilliant, aren't they.

Hi Rosemary - All of your different roses are so pretty. I look forward to see your latest color.

Weight update for week 16
only a small loss but has been a big week
loss 0.3 kg
total loss 11.8kg
changing up my exercises to include some weights now and more exercises to concentrate on my upper body.
cheers
water of course

Thank you again Rosemary, for Il Divo, although I must say that one of the many irritants in life are audiences who stand up, and or clap and cheer, in the middle of a song.I think it is extremely rude to everyone concerned.There is a time and place for this, AT THE END OF THE SONG.Just imagine doing that in a symphony concert, you'd be lynched!!

Hi Rosemary, I posted a message to you last week, but it was on one of those really slow days and got lost in cyberspace! I am really impressed with your weight loss. I think that you are looking much healthier and you must be feeling it now, too. And don't worry that it has only been a small loss as it is still a loss. My sister is doing Weight Watchers and is in a similar position to you - but not exercising as much but is now off the alcohol and will shortly go off the cigarettes as well. I can't 'weight' to start my excercise and diet regime but I can't afford to do anything that might stuff up my milk supply until Veronica is a much bigger girl.

BTW if you would like to see some other photos of my children you can go to http://karinahonyi.typepad.com/ to see our Christmas photos. Just scroll down until you see 'Evans family' on the side.

Looking good!

Fantastic

Rose, I can't believe the change in you since the last time I looked in here - really really well done girl!! Don't let discouragement get a look in - keep it up, you are doing very well!

Hi Rosemary,

You can now delete Avatars - you must have about 100!


Gath

mmmmmmmm think it was about 130

thank you down to 70 or so now

My tribute to the gallant soldiers and all those that served to keep us free.
My youtube is rather special.
LEST WE FORGET

We will remember them.

Hi Rosemary. I listened to your Anzac tribute this morning and thought it was wonderfully presented. Just came back to listen again but see you have Celine on now, so I'll give it a listen as well. Post that Anzac tribute again something please.

Posted this on East by mistake, so I'm re-posting it on your page....
Rosemary, a great You Tube with Celine and Josh. It's funny because I have You Raise Me Up as one I was going to post in the future. Great stuff!

here is the URL for that youtube Anzac tribute
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlYynHmE8b0
I am pleased you enjoyed it enough to want to have a nother listen, it is a great tribute.

Celine is one of those people you must listen to and not watch!! her posturings are nauseating.

Hi there Rose,

Hey - Great to see the new healthy you. You must be feeling fantastic!!

I had collapsed into Bed- or gone to the airport, or lost connection on Anzac morning- to get up again pre dawn to attend the service on the Darwin cliffs. I couldn't believe the numbers - thousands at the dawn service. One part of me is glad that Australia still remembers the sacrifices that were made by a generation who were not so interested in 'individual rights' as the collective good. One part of me is concerned at the rising 'Nationalism'.. I hope that it comes also with a rising National tolerance and generosity. My wireless internet connection at home is so spasmodic and unreliable- I can tease 5 mins out here and there and Anzac night got close to an hour!!! but I'm on at work at the moment. I rarely back read for comments but wanted to check out the Anzac day comments. All the best.. Better get back to work - Haven't even done a puzzle. :{

Hey Rose,
Just quietly, I was very impressed (in awe really) with the way you handled the whole G thing yesterday and today - such dignity but without taking any bull from him. Well done.

Hey Rose,

Long time no chat! Great going with the weight loss and exercise! Keep up the great work!

Fi and Sue
thank you, yes feeling great but a long way to go yet.

Hello Rosemary. It's always a treat to see Il Divo on your page. I only have one of their cd's - Siempre - so I'm getting to hear other songs on your page. Good stuff!

Weight Loss for week 17
just a very small loss of 0.2 kg this week
total loss 12 kgs
hoping to get a really good week in with a major loss this week.
still coming off, all be it very slowly.
cheers
water of course

It's all good weight loss. Though don't you wish you could have the luxury of putting your life on hold to just exercise and lose weight like they did on the biggest loser??? But we dont have that luxury and so we continue on slowly and try to be happy with the small losses. Keep going - you WILL get there.

Hello! Thanks for dropping in. I am starting the lite n easy tomorrow. And the new gym program has me there every day but Monday, and working real hard.

Water! (and 12 kilos less by Christmas. The dietician told me on Monday to lose it slowly, and that is the best way of keeping it off. So only wanting to lose a max of 2 kilos per month.)
Cheers

Sue.

You have a definite sparkle in your eye Rose, keep it up, you are looking so well but keep a little to grab hold of..

Rose
Thank you very very very Much for you beautiful e-card and wonderful wishes you posted today.

Rosemary Hi, Nice to see You through Your own page and enjoying listening to Your You tube 'Let us dance..'
Have a nice day and enjoy Your weight loss.

Weigh in Week 18
Loss 0.5 kg
total loss 12.5 kg
WOO HOO
happy with the loss and shape is changing slowly getting a waist back. Doing exercises, some weights and at least 10 klms on the exercise bike each day. some days extra walks as well.

hope all those who have changed their lifestyles to something more healthy are enjoying the benefits. to those who are still comtemplating it ..... it is really worth the effort. life is too short not to make the most of it.

cheers water of course.

yeeeessss! keep going Rose - you're doing great! (I tune in every Monday to get the results!!)

Fiona
thank you for your support

Rosemary - thanks so much for the note on the regular site! I almost didn't get back tonight, but saw nice notes from you and Sharon!!
They are keeping her one more day in the hospital for IV antibiotics - the infection had gotten into her kidneys.

Congratulations on the weight loss, Rosemary. You are doing well in the exercise dept. If all goes well with Veronica's weigh-in and visit with the paediatrition on Monday then I am going on a portion controlled diet.
