Weigh in, numero uno

I went for my first fortnightly weigh in today. I think I did pretty well, considering that I've been sick/slack. What I learned is that 70% effort is still an effort, and any step forward is taking me closer to that goal. I hate to sound cliched or trite, but that really rang true for me today.

Ruku also signed up for Celebrity Slim today. He wants to lose about 30kg (he weighed in at 101.1), and get control of his weight while it's still manageable. Which is fantastic, and also means that I've got an in-house weight-loss buddy.

Anyway, to my weigh in;

Dress size: 20 tops, 24 bottoms (damn you big bum!)
Weight: 116.4
BMI: 43
Hips: 136cm
Waist: 127cm
Arms: 35cm
Next Weigh In: 24/10/08

Yes, you read correctly; that IS a loss of 1.6kg, a loss of 2cm, and down one point on the BMI. I think I've done pretty well. Only 58.4kg to go now!




I bought a new outfit last night. A new top and a pair of shorts, sizes 20 and 24 respectively. And this is where I am going to make a public promise to myself - From this moment on, I shall never buy a size 20 to 24 (or god forbid, larger) for myself again. By the time I need new clothes, I will need smaller clothes. I'm promising myself this, and I aim to deliver.

To finish off this post, I shall include pictures of the aforementioned outfit I bought last night. May the next outfit I post be a much smaller one!
