dont worry.. its not your fault im irresistable :D haha

update- this morning i went for my ultrasound.. and before anyone of you guys make a joke, NO im not pregnant :D

the lady conducting the test said that my liver is larger than normal.. and looks like i have a disease called Fatty liver! it is common in western countries because of our high fat diets! the disease is caused from excessive weight in the mid region depositing fat into your liver.. which aint good!

im only 22.. weigh around 112kg's now but about 3 months ago i was about 120kg's! it is a big wake up call for me.. i need to make some big lifestyle changes.. mainly diet!! i always used to be pretty fit.. until around a mid last year.. i weighed 92kg's back then! i hurt my knee playing sport, which made me have to stop playing sport for around 6 months.. i also was eating pretty bad! i gained so much weight so fast it obviously wasnt healthy!! 30 odd kilos in a year

hopefully i can get my health back in order soon.. and most important of all.. maintain it!!

i dont think fatty liver disease has caused me to get sick so often in the past 2 months.. its just bad luck!! sounds like alot of other people have been sick just like me! i think im getting to the end of my latest sickness! and i hope it stays away for a long time!! i just want to feel good for a while!! lol

So it ain't the black lung nor is it AIDS?

I don't buy that whitchs doctors view of Fatty Liver whatchmacallit........

P.S

If you train with Dan,

He likes his bench press spotters to go Commando if you know what I mean :P:laugh::(

Well its not how much fat you have its where the fat is concentrated as your doc said the fat around your gut is what deposits the crap into your liver and plenty of other volitile areas.

Thats quite a size for your height.

I stopped playing competetive sport a few years ago and was always lean whilst competing. When you stop that metabolism just slows real fast and you find yourself getting fat and your muscle wastes away.

I hate cardio if your in the same boat best to do some weights and mix in some boxing or kick boxing. I was doing muay thai and found that to get me in shape quicker then anything.

Giving up food, alcohol can be impossible put you can keep doing this stuff in moderation for much longer if you get enough healthy excercise what ever it may be.

Mike the old tea bag trick when spotting on the bench always does wonders for the spirit.

ur right on the money there!!

i carry my weight really well... if u were to see me you wouldnt think i would have a problem.. but the fat i do have is concentrated around my gut!

eating healthy aint too bad! i have gotton through the last few days pretty easily.. lets hope it lasts

Hope it all goes well ey

I'm in the same boat, I'm the same weight as you but I'm a bit shorter and I don't have fatty organs (that I know of)...

so I'm cutting back to 1 meal a day, and trying to go out for a walk everyday... having the new dog helps to get me out,

Anyways good luck:thumbsup:

About 6 weeks ago I was sick for 4 weeks straight. First 3 weeks it was cold symptons, then i was well for 2 days before a mixture of cold and hayfever kicked in and that was hell nasty. Nose running like a tap, and I was a total mess at work.

At the time of me being sick, pretty much everyone else in my office was sick too. When I got better for those 2 days, a new girl started at work and I think she brought in something new which triggered off the other sickness.

Thank heavens I'm all good now.

feeling ill again this morning!! but i dont think it is a virus or anything!

im on medication for weight loss (duromine) its basically a legal form of speed!! when i researched it the other day i found out about some side effects.. so i have decided to stop using it!!

so i could just be feeling ill due to my body coming down from the 'legal speed'

has anyone else been on duromine??

feeling HEAPS better today!! i think my body was just expelling the Duromine!

had an awesome sleep in this morning.. which is somethig i havnt been able to do for ages! coz the duromine was effecting my sleep!!

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
