This is just a quick update on my weight loss progress. What with Christmas and visiting family (and my mother-in-law-who-makes-all-the-cakes) I was expecting a bit of a disaster this month. Despite my best intentions not to go crazy over the festive period I managed to consume quite a lot of chocolate (and wine!) but actually it’s not looking too bad as far as the numbers go. Since last months update I managed to lose 2lbs, put 3lbs on over Christmas, and then lose 2lbs again in the last week – so if you’re following the maths that leaves me 1lb down overall. And I’m calling that a win!
So time for the stats: (Figures in brackets are my original starting weights and measurements):
Weight: 13st 2lb (13st 8lb) – lost 6lb
Waist: 34.5 inches (37 inches) – lost 2.5Â inches
Hips: 43 inches (45.5 inches) – lost 2.5 inches
Bust: 40 inches (42 inches) – lost 2 inch
So far so good. Now although my long term goal is to improve my general eating habits without being on a diet I’ve been given the chance to try a meal replacement diet (Extante Diet) for a week which I’ll be doing next week and blogging about when I’m done. Hopefully it will just give me a bit of a post Christmas boost so I can then carry on with my sensible and balanced eating.
My attempt to lose weight over Christmas failed miserably, but I did manage to at least maintain. My new favourite: weighted hula hoop. Honestly, they’re amazing, especially for toning up your core. Congrats for your progress so far!
