Just over a year on MFP

Fitfaery

Hi,

I joined MFP last October and since I have logged in everyday, but not stuck to my calories everyday. I have Yoyo'd.

I found a piece of paper today from 13th October 2011. It said:

Weight - 168.75 lbs
Over Boobs - 43 inches
Under Boobs - 36 inches
Belly (the rounded lady bit below the bellybutton) - 39 inches
Bellybutton - 36 inches
Hips - 42 inches
Arm - 12 inches
Thigh - 24.75 inches

(There are 2,5 cm in an inch)


Today the measurements are:

Weight - 154.8 lbs
Over Boobs - 40.25 inches
Under Boobs - 33 inches
Belly (the rounded lady bit below the bellybutton) - 37 inches
Bellybutton - 34 inches
Hips - 40.5 inches
Arm - 11 inches
Thigh - 23.2 inches

Since I joined I have run two Royal Parks Half Marathons, a 7 mile race (Treggy 7), a 5k(Race for Life) and the Totnes 10k.
I have signed up for my first Marathon in May 2013, but before then I have two 10 k races, a 5k, a 10 miler and a half marathon.

With Zumba, Bokwa, Strength Training and running I hope to next the next 14 lbs off quicker and get to my goal weight.

I feel like I'm getting somewhere...however slowly I have started

Thank goodness for MFP!

Those are some great results, and I'm super impressed at how many events you've competed in! MFP changes lives, doesn't it?

I know it might not seem like much, or seem like a slow loss compared to others, but you're closer to your ideal weight so it takes a little more work. And the yo-yoing, of course. I've done it. I realized recently that I lost more than 40lbs in the last year, but 20 of them I lost twice so it's not much of an accomplishment! Grrr.

Keep going! You look great, and I'm sure you feel even better.
