This week - 24 Feb

Bust - 103 (-2)
Under Bust - 90 (-1)
Waist - 107 (-1)
Hips - 107 (same)
Thigh - 53.5 (same) 

So cm's lost in 1 week - 4cm 

Weight was 83kg.

So the Cm's are still gradually coming down, but the weight is not making any significant difference. Not sure what I can do differently to change it up a bit and get this weight shifting. Very frustrating. 

My first months pics

I know it's not easy to tell in these pictures, but it's just a good comparison to me, there's probably subtle changes to be seen. I hope the next 4 weeks show a lot more noticeable differences. Have to keep plugging away. 

Feb update

So it's now the 17th of February and I've been at this for a few weeks now. The scales are noticeably rising, or my scales are total crap!! But today my weight was 83.6kg! Which is very very annoying, but i'm glad I did start tracking my measurements the last few weeks were as follows:

So in a month I've lost

Bust - Lost 1cm
Under Bust - Lost 4cm
Waist - Same
Hips - 1cm
Thigh - 2.5

TOTAL CM's Lost - 8.5cm (for the last 4 weeks.

Total Cm's lost from week 1 Except I forgot to count under bust from the start) - 

Week 1 - Bust - 106, Waist - 111, Hips - 109, Thigh - 56
Week 7 - Bust 105, Waist - 108, Hips - 107, Thigh - 53.5 + (Under bust total loss 4cm)
TOTAL CM's lost - 12.5cm


So I have lost cm's not necessarily weight, but i'm attributing that to adding muscle. People have noticed that I've lost weight which is nice. Just wish the scale would be following suit!

Weight loss so far 2012 - 2014

So it's taken a while, but there is noticeable differences from when I first started to now. It's definitely
getting serious now and seeing some progress is definitely helpful to keep me motivated that I can once and for good lose this weight and keep it off.

Current stats are:

Have really enjoyed getting back into exercise, I know that i'm firming/toning and losing fat and gaining muscle because the scales aren't moving much but my clothes are feeling less restrictive and my fitness has definitely improved which is great. I did a work at home DVD and I finally smashed nearly 500 Calories doing that, which is awesome!

Have really been enjoying doing Aqua aerobics and pump class too which is fun. I'm hoping that I can continue so that I reach my goals, might be difficult if I get into uni this year, but i'm hopeful that I'm going to finish what I started.

New year again, and another new start!

So I've been at this weight loss game since I had my 3rd son Mitchell in Oct 2011, I started in 2012 and didn't get very far. Then in 2013 I started up again, and got a little way and then came unstuck again. We all got whooping cough and I got it the worst, so it wrote me off for 6 months and any progress was well and truly out the window. I am however grateful that I didn't put on much weight, it pretty much stayed the same with no exercise or watching my eating. So I'm starting it all over again. My weight at the start of Jan was 84kg, the second week I was 82.8kg, so I've lost 1.2kg so far this year. In total I lost 8.4kgs since starting this journey in 2011. It's a long process and one i'm well and truly done with starting and not finishing! So this is the year I finally reach my goals. 68kg or thereabouts, i'm coming for you!!

Here is an updated pic that I'll start off with to keep track.

So far this week I've been to the gym twice, and been to an adrenoswim class, tomorrow I'm aiming to get back into pump class and then a yoga or body balance session on Saturday to finish my first week. I'm logging with my fitness pal to keep on track, i've also bought myself an active diary for a 12 week challenge, to set myself goals and commit to exercise. I've also splurged and bought myself a new Polar Fitness Heart rate monitor, I can't wait to get it so that I can track my calories burned while I'm exercising to give me extra motivation. I'm also using the Lose baby weight smoothies and getting recipe Ideas from there. I have about 17kgs to go, but i'd be happy to be under 75kg and then reasses, so, so far it's a good start, just have to keep the momentum going! :)
