t'was homeward bound one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
I dreamed a dream and I thought it true
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew.
With one hundred seamen he sailed away
To the frozen ocean in the month of May
To seek a passage around the pole
Where we poor seamen do sometimes go.
Through cruel hardships they mainly strove
Their ship on mountains of ice was drove
Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through.

Good morning, all! Saturday greetings! East India Company's "Assam" tea in my cup, rice balls with umboshi plum on my plate, and a smile on my face.

Wonderful news, KK! It would appear that there are many of us who are dieting these days, and with success! Keep up the good work. I've finally cracked the 88Kg mark myself, and this morning weighed in at 87.3kg, down from 103 at the end of July. I had several pair of pants altered a week ago, and already the waist size is too big! I'm going to have to do it all over again! I've set my new target at 80kg. I've discovered that keeping between 500-1000 calories a day is not a problem so long as I can 'cheat' once or twice a week with a treat. But it's the exercise that I've been getting that is really making the biggest difference... I can move again!
But I could never do it your way... Needles scare the hell out of me. I'm glad of that however, as it's probably the only thing that kept me from becoming a junkie back in my younger days. Too many of my childhood friends died from OD'ing... Keep up updated on your progress over in the Diet thread.
