My throat is a lil better today...doesnt feel like i have razor blades in it...just feels swollen and yucky! I am going to the gym tonite but will just do PT i need to get over this lil blip in the journey. Last nite as is the way with me (argh) i ate some comfort food...wasnt wise...but whats done is done...

I think i have mentioned i am doing the city to bay (6km or 12km walk) ive decided to use the opportunity to raise money for cancer in memory of my dad and sister...if anyone happens to be interested the fundraising page is here http://www.everydayhero.com.au/karyn_colley

I have been giving some thought....to creating a site for women with large amounts of weight to lose...ie those starting 130 plus kilos. A site that allows dignity and access to resources...an example being when i was bigger there was nowhere were i could just go and look at what gym chains had equipment that could handle my size of 170 plus kilos...wouldnt it have been easier to just log onto one site that i could access this info easily without having to go thru the embarressment of ringing up gyms and telling someone i didnt know my weight and could they help me? A site that lists online shops for buying sports bras...lingerie...everyday clothes for the bigger girl. A site that has a forum for bigger girls...where they arent the different ones...where its full of people who are bigger or have been bigger....maybe even setting up a mentor type of situation where people who have got under 130 kilos or to goal to be matched up with someone who is at the start of their journey. Also a place to put my story...its all thoughts at the moment...i do have some experience with webdesign so it is doable...would be interested in peoples feedback (positive or negative) on my thoughts.

Also if anyone has problems adding comments to the journal can they email me? email is karyn.colley@optusnet.com.au or add me to facebook and send me a message...ive heard some people are having problems and want to sore it out - thanks!

I think it's fabulous idea! I started out at over 130kg (am at 115kg now) and I think it's an AWESOME thing to do!
