New thread since the old one is full :)

isn't it strange how we are different, but i am only 5ft3 and an hourglass. to be fair my top half is like a 12 but with largish boobs, so i have to wear a 14 for those.

what are we measuring?

under bust i am 33
waist is now 31
hips 39

nimbs, i was heading towards size 18, not good on my little frame. that's what spurned me on, because my weight has been creeping on and on the past 5 yrs, i am 43 too so it's harder to shift!!

piratecat i am exactly the same size as you in inches...

Your an inspiration cinnamon your weightloss is amazing....

aliciaflorrick you enjoy your fish and chips.. everyone deserves a treat.. I can just smell them now... yummmy!!!

Am not doing to bad although I have scoffed some mini cadburys chocolate eclairs today bloody patients familys leaving thank you chocolates its so nice of patients to leave pressies to say thank you!!!

Am still cracking on with insanity am looking forward to weigh in am hoping for a couple of pounds

Under bust 32
Waist (depends if I'm measuring or dh as he doesn't measure around the smallest bit) 33/36
Hip 37.5

My boobs have gone from a 36G to a 34DD and I think on their way to a D. If only I lost at that rate from my thighs!!

Cinnamon you are amazing!

Off to a good start here - went swimming yesterday and a good 40 min walk with the dog today. Logged in to MFP both days and just within calorie allowance both days too

Tbh, I haven't felt like I'm 'on a diet' just very aware of what I'm eating - really noticed it tonight using a jar of sauce for chicken, previously would have just chucked the whole lot in, but only used 1/2 for me and DH as I'd logged one portion which was 1/4 of a jar. Cheaper too as still have 1/2 jar left!!

I'm 5'5, 12st and size 14. Am at my most comfortable at 9st 3ish (size 10 for me) Seems a long way off....

There is no way I am brave enough to measure myself...

I too am more aware of what I am eating, it does not feel like I am on a diet as I am not denying myself anything, just eating less of it.
(did go over on calories yesterday as it was a bit of a sociable evening, but not by much and it was a one off...)

Want to start to vary my exercise. Am currently just walking. Lots of walking. Am hoping to take the opportunity of half term next week to get the bike out and do some cycling. Would like to add two cycle rides a week to my exercise for the rest of the summer.
Hopefully by the time it gets too cold to cycle I will be slimmer and more confident about the idea of getting into my swimsuit...

Well I've fallen off the wagon the last couple of days-have been really tired and hungry-likely as I'm premenstral and also went on a first date lat night so had a couple of cocktails to ease the nerves
Today I'm only 100 cals over but 400 yesterday-eek.
Will aim to get back on tommorow and are how we go.
Well done everyone else on great successes. I think my measurements are
Waist: 34-around bellybutton-is that the right place to measure?
Boobs:35
Thigh: 22
Arm:11.5
I'm 5.2" and 9.8 at the moment-aiming to loose a stone but would be happy at 9 and some toning (or frankly anything right now )

Hello ladies! Just popping in to bookmark.

Ps - have lost 4.6lb this week after returning to low carb

Will try and catch up later today if I have a quiet day at work.

I'd love an 11.5 inch upper arm awaywego1, my arms are huge. 500 calories over two days isn't a disaster :)

Well done RGPargy!! That's amazing!

I can not see the mechanical scale it has a magnifying bit but I have to get dh to read it, he will not do it more than once a week

Could you take a photo?

Cinnamon I tried that but when I zoom in it is blurred, I may get ds to take the pic :o

Can I join? Just signed up yesterday. My username is andbreathe. I have 100lb to lose

Welcome IWantCandy don't think about 100lbs. Just focus on losing that first lb, its a great feeling, and then then next lb, and the next. Every pound you lose is very worthwhile so don't focus too much on your end goal.

*

Someone on here reccomended body pump. I have just booked my first class for Monday and am scared!

Hi iwantcandy I agree, do not focus on your main goal, set mini goals.
Mine are each new stone bracket and half stones if I am struggling.
Feel free to add me newbies, same name as on here :)

Just realised I need a new and inspiring mn name. Any suggestions?

Zumba tomorrow for me. Never tried bodypump. Let me know what it's like

Hi Iwant, will friend you on mfp if you like? I have nearly 80lbs to lose and even then my bmi will not be comfortably in the healthy range so I will be alongside you on the 100lbs journey.
But small steps.
I weight myself and log my weight in kg so I set myself a target of 5kg by x date and then another 5 kg by y date. So my goal is only ever 5kg at a time (in my mind anyway...)

monster, you need one of those newfangled talking scales. Was it not you that had bought some????

oooh, no, sorry, it was alicia with the talking scales. 'blush]

I have lost 61lb in 7 months so it is doable iwantcandy, I did set myself quite a bit target of getting to normal bmi, but I think you do feel an achievement with every new stone bracket you enter and every half stone you lose or every new clothes size you fit into. Will go to mfp and add you now!

Definitely but the dc to work monsterbookoftysons!

Behind no wasn't me, I had to make do with salter mechanical ones

:o

IWantCandy - IWantCarrots???

Yes add me please locknumbernine - I need the support!!!

Not logging as much as I used to on here but still enjoy reading the everyone elses logs

itsallgoingtobefine I love body pump I go on a Monday evening and am going to try to do an extra pump class in the week. I love it. It is hard work but I feel amazing after start light on your weights til your comfortable with the class and then build up over the weeks

Have started back with road running and enjoyed it so am going to try and mix it all up. Gym cardio and resistance work, swimming, pump and running am also tempted to get my bike back from my sister as have been asked to do the Bristol to Weston bike ride but not sure if I will do that one yet

Keep logging everyone as it is motivational to each of us.

Hi everyone! :o

Another pumper here! It is very addictive but we have such a laugh in the class that i just cant help going back! Been doing it now for about 2 years! Trouble is, we all know each other so well now and on a monday morning one of the ladies always makes us cakes!! So we do our pump class and then sit in the cafe downstairs and eat our calories burns back with cake. What a great end to a work out lol :o

I'm off on a fitness day tomorrow (FightKlub). It starts at about 11.30 and doesn't finish til about 5.30pm!! I'm going to be knackered! I'm sure it'll be worth it tho!

Newbies - please feel free to add me! I am very active on MFP, more so than here!

Off to bed now -Night all! :o
