sooo happy i have to tell strangers about it... small win,... fudge it massive win for me... i've been eatting good for 3 weeks now.
first 2 weeks at 1300, with little saturated fats, as i have 3 months to get my cholesterol down... and i know it was only 2 weeks but nothing happened weight or measurment wise.... i was feeling a bit ripped off...well a lot actually....
then, i found on here some people and advice regarding eatting more to lose weight.... so i thought THAT makes sence, so i tried it,got right in worked out basically what i should be eatting round abouts... uped it to 1700 and eat arount that.
so now week 3 a week or so eatting at 1700 ( you need to work out your own cals must be above your BMR)

getting to the point....weights and measurements from 20/06/13- 10/07/13
weight 106.3kgs now 103.5 kgs
bust 133cm now 133cm
waist 115cm now 105cm !!
hips 144cm now 139cm !!

my waist measure ment was shocking, i did it 3 times cause i was like nooooooo i must be doing something wrong here 10cms gone from my waist!! what!!! lol..
i'm glad i upped my cals :) xox

a win is a win no matter how small :)

    In for blowing trumpets!

    are you a blower that lets your cheeks puff or are you a narrow cheeker?

    Waist: 41.5.................now: 40
    Chest: 44....................Now: 43
    Hips: 46......................Now: 44.5
    Thighs
    R: 24.5.......................now: 23
    Left: 23.5....................Now: 22.5
    Arms
    Right: 12.75..............now: 12.5
    Left: 13.5...................now: 12.5

    It just motivates me to keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
