I’m hoping to turn in to something really pretty!
Goals and Weigh-Ins

When I started this blog on the 28th of July I weighed 10st 7lbs.  My weight has yo-yo’d since then between a high of 11st 4lbs and a low of 10st 8lbs.  Not much progress!  In the last 8 weeks of 2008 I was counting in ounces rather than pounds difference.  Now, since 2009 is my year of change, I’m setting new targets and restarting this page.

My goal is to look fabulous by the time I go to France at the end of July 2009.  Ideally, I’d like to weigh 9st 5lbs but I know muscle weighs more than fat and I want to be toned, not just “skinny fat”.  I have a mental image goal that keeps me fixated.  I picture myself lying on a beach wearing a fab bikini and a straw sunhat smiling up at a camera.  I’m wearing some chuky jewellery and my hair has gone all wavy from being in the sea.  My stomach is toned, I’m slightly bronzed and I feel great.  And I am working hard to get there right now!

So officially, my main goal is to reach 9st 5lbs and/or a UK size 8 by Thursday the 9th of July, 2009.

Starting Weight: 10st 10lbs

Week 1: 10st 13.6lbs (TOM)

Week 2: 10st 12lbs

Week 3: 10st 12.4lbs

Week 4: 151.8 (10st 11.8lbs)

Week 5: 154.8 (11st 0.8lbs) —> birthday week = over indulgence!

I also want to record my measurements (in inches) because as we all know sometimes the scales don’t budge an inch, but our fat does!  So here are my measurements.  My baseline and next measurements will be pretty close together as I will record every week, on a Thursday with my weigh in.  However, rather than posting every week, I’ll only post on weeks where there is a significant change (positive or negative) along side what that change is.

Baseline Measurements

  • Chest = 31.5″
  • Waist = 33.75″
  • Largest Part of Stomach = 39.5″
  • Hips = 40.5″
  • Left Thigh = 23.25″
  • Right Thigh = 24″

Week 1: Chest = 32.5″ (+1″); Waist = 33″ (-0.75″); Hips = 40.75″ (+0.25″); Left Thigh = 23.75″ (+0.5″)

Week 2: Chest = 31″ (-1.5″); Waist = 32.5″ (-0.5″); Stomach = 38.5″ (-1″); Hips = 40″ (-0.75″); Left Thigh = 23.25″ (-0.5″)

Week 3: Chest = 31.75″ (+0.75″); Waist = 31.75″ (-0.75″); Stomach = 39″ (+0.5″); Hips = 39″ (-1″); Left Thigh = 23.5″ (+0.5″)
