Inch Loss

So, in the past eight weeks, I have lost 2" from my waist, 1.5" from my hips, and 2" from my thigh. Gained half an inch on my upper arm though, randomly. Maybe I've gained muscle at the gym? An error in measurements is more likely though, and it is only half an inch after all!

I've lost on average half a pound a week since I restarted Weight Watchers. It's not a vast amount, but 4.5lbs (down from 11st 6lb to 11st 1.5lb) is enough of a loss to see a difference, so I'm happy. If I can lose 8.5lbs in the next 6 weeks I'll be a size 14 for my 30th birthday (29th April), which would be great, but I'll be happy to get there by the summer. The main goal for this year is to be a size 12 for our wedding, which will hopefully be at the end of October (even though we haven't got anything booked yet!), so fingers crossed (and eyes crossed so I can't see cakes) for that.

Progress

1.5lbs off last week, and half a pound off today, so now I've lost a third of the dreaded 9lbs that I'd put on between July and January. Lose a pound a week for the next six weeks, and I will have got rid of the dreaded 9lbs, lost more than half a stone, and be getting more of the aforementioned vouchers. Losing half a stone before the end of the month sounds good to me. Keep losing at the same rate, and I might even finally get to size 14 for my 30th birthday!

A Challenge

Put on half a pound this week, oops. Not as bad as I thought it would be though, considering I've eaten a ridiculous amount. Having nice things like choc ices, biscuits, KitKats and cheese in is not a good idea for me! I still don't have as much self-control as I'd like. Got lots of fruit in instead now though, so that should help me.



It will be a challenge this week though to lose anything at all! Saturday tomorrow, which is takeaway night (pizza this week), then it's Easter (noms aplenty), and on Wednesday we're going out for a curry for my birthday. What I need to do is to not waste my weekly points, and save them for those days. I can haz willpower?

Somehow I don't think I'm going to be a size 14 for the 29th! I'm not that far off though - 4lbs to go til I'm 10st7 which, if every stone lost equals a dress size, will take me down to a 14.

Yayness

I seem to only want to post the positive on this blog. That's not what it's about though - it's supposed to be about everything weight loss related, good and bad. I've avoided posting here over the past couple of weeks, because two weeks ago, I didn't go to my meeting, and I'd put on 3lbs at my next weigh-in. Negatives are fine if they can be balanced out with positives though. My positive this week is that I have lost 4lbs! Yayness. 4lbs is in fact the most I've lost in a week.



4 more lbs to go til I'm 10st7 and halfway there! Hopefully that'll take me down to a size 14 too ^_^
