Not a good result for me - hopefully others will do better and keep the overall total losses high!

Hi

just wondering if anyone who's been doing this from the beginning took a record of their measurments? I'm getting married in just over 10 weeks and need to lose about 3 inches all over to get into the wedding dress that (I think) I want. I'm starting a low carb/exercise regime today and have had a look at the spreadsheet so I can see that there has been some great weight loss here but it would really boost my confidence to see inch loss results if anyone has them!

thanks and sorry for the hijack

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 25/06/2012 11:42

Wow, that's brilliant, Smokin! Thanks Well done you!

Sybil, me tooooo on the wanting to be slim NOW thing. I wish I'd found this WOE 10 weeks ago.

frankie4 · 25/06/2012 11:44

The same weight for me today I'm afraid (152 pounds). I really am starting properly this week as I have to lose weight before August. So hopefully 2 off for next week.

SharonGless · 25/06/2012 12:00

I posted on week 10 by mistake.
2lbs off for me this week on the scales although I don't feel like I should have done. I haven't cheated much apart from the alcohol but my food choices have been good even under the influence. My friend dragged me for a curry on Friday night after we had been out as there was nothing there for me to eat as all carb based. I had a chicken shaslick and salad - even with her waving peshwari naan at me ;)

Well done to everyone for losses this week including smokinaces on your 10% loss!

GreenEyesAndHam · 25/06/2012 12:06

MissWoo I'm not at home so don't have my exact stats to hand at the mo, but I've taken my measurements weekly so I'll post them tonight.

I can tell you its about 5-6 inches off my stomach though!

Theeverexpandingrodders · 25/06/2012 12:20

im on my phone so cant update ss this morning I am 11stone 11 :)

ditavonteesed · 25/06/2012 12:34

I am down 1lb, which I know is not great, I am having a bit of trouble getting my head round it but am on it from today onwards.

Heartstart · 25/06/2012 12:54

OK so having said I was going to be relaxed about whatever I had gained given couple of weeks form hell and parent's golden wedding do this weekend I have to admit that putting on 7.5lbs since fri am was a bit more than I had expected, particulalry as I thought I had n't gone too mad!! Anyway it is what it is and I am bootcamping for britain now!

MissWooWoo · 25/06/2012 12:55

cor really *GreenEyesandHam" ?!?! that's bloody marvellous ...

SwitchedtoEatingCheese · 25/06/2012 13:36

2lbs down this week. Am delighted. I'm going to holiday on Friday and going to wear a bikini (even if its cold!)

vnmum · 25/06/2012 13:37

1lb on today, expected though.
misswoo check out my photos on my profile. That is over 6 months of low carbing and weights in the gym. I know its a longer time period than you want but it does give you an idea. Also my inch loss stats are:

from jan to june:
upper arm: -0.5inch
chest: -2 inch
waist at narrowest point: - 2 inch
hips : -0.5 inch
inner thigh: -0.5 inch
waist around belly button: -2 inch

HTH

BIWItheBold · 25/06/2012 13:42

dita - one pound is two packs of lard. That's a lot of fat!

leanbh21 · 25/06/2012 14:38

smokinaces that's wonderful!

I'm 2lb down today which I'm happy enough with. Couldn't possibly ask for the same big drop as my first week anyway!

Jacaqueen · 25/06/2012 14:44

One pound down from last week so back to 13st 2lbs.

AngieAir · 25/06/2012 15:21

Hi Misswoowoo

I've lost 4 inches from my hips and 4 inches from my waist since middle of February along with about 7kg. Fastest loss was in first 2 months. Went from waist faster than hips. Have done some Callanetics occasionally during this time.

smokinaces · 25/06/2012 16:45

Aw shucks thanks guys. All in all I've done 3stone 4lb but its really been the last ten weeks that got it going again and changed my bodyshape. I love it.

BIWItheBold · 25/06/2012 16:55

3 stone 4 lbs!!!

Bloody brilliant, smokin.

I forgot to weigh myself before I ate breakfast this morning so will weigh in tomorrow.

I went to a birthday barbeque yesterday and ate stuff I shouldn't have so I probably 'forgot' on purpose.

Well done to all you losers. I wish I had taken measurements before I started but as I didn't I am looking forward to reading everyone else's.

smokinaces · 25/06/2012 17:26

Biwi, its taken since 2009. Few big falls off the wagon but got down to 11 just before Christmas. Went up to 11 7 when I started this. Just in the diet food trap basically.

Have gone from a size 16-18 to a size 10-12. My boobs have gone from a G/H to a DD/E. My posture is better, my ibs has all but disappeared. I am sitting here in a size ten primark vest with a size ten pair of next jeans and don't feel they are tight at all.

I am now a huge advocate for low carb. I eat dark chocolate and strawberries so no where near as strict as some. I drink diet coke sometimes too. But on the whole I eat well and am never hungry.

smokinaces · 25/06/2012 17:27

And measurements......at 13 9 I had a 39 inch waist. It's now 30 and a little bit inches.

BIWItheBold · 25/06/2012 17:32

What a great story, smokin. Really well done!

smokinaces · 25/06/2012 17:39

I've had Piste to kick my arse over the last three years biwi. I owe it to you and her!!

MissWooWoo · 25/06/2012 18:01

wow smokinaces that's really motivating! so have you gone down a dress size in the last 10 weeks?

thanks for info vnmum

AngieAir 4 inches! you must really notice the difference

smokinaces · 25/06/2012 18:17

Yes, I was a tight twelve when I started this, in some 14s. now twelves are loose on me and I need to buy some tens. Definitely a whole dress size, and a little bit from the bloating going
