2013 Weigh in/Measure Up

Hi friends! Here it is as promised, the thread for our weekly weigh in/measure up. From what I was reading in my news feed most of my friends were putting on weight and losing motivation. Maybe some accountability will help us, without having to join an outside group and pay money just to have that accountability.

We decided to add measurements as some of you will be looking to maintain weight and some of us are going to be doing weight training and therefore don't lose weight the same.

Having got to 44lbs lost in July, I have then slowly packed on the pounds (due to a huge upheaval in my personal life) until I have managed to shovel another 17lbs into my gob, onto my tum and butt. I've woken up this morning with what feels like a lead weight in my stomach from overindulgence and it's stopping today!
So here it is...GULP!!

Weight: 206lbs (+17lbs)
Waist: +3inches
Hips: +4inches
Chest: + 2 inches
Thigh: + 2.5 inches
Arm: + 1.5 inches

So, in order to bring myself back to my previous weight and continue to lose the fat I am making some positive moves. This morning the rubbish is collected and I have filled a black bag with all of the naughty stuff in the house. I have started planning my meals for the rest of the week - which I found really helped last time - and I am today waiting for my spanking new cross trainer to arrive as my last one broke which was definitely partly to blame for me putting all this extra weight on. I have written a great workout regime and feel motivated now to stick to it!

Good luck everyone, lets help each other stay motivated and shift the extra body fat!!
