Weigh in - 06
I am becoming used to the scales going down on Monday weigh in. I am grateful for this. I hope I will equally gracious when it slows down. Today I am extremely happy as I have lost 1.5kgs bringing the total to 7.7kgs in 6 weeks. I am getting quite excited now about the changes in my body. I can see where my waist is starting to pull in and my stomach is now not so much facing south as a little higher than south (LOL). My arms are becoming a little more defined and I think I can see some difference in my legs. My booty is still rounded but my clothes are starting to become a bit big so I know that that is shrinking too. And one day last week, I had a 'thin' day. The buttons finally were able to be done up on my blazer without pulling and I had stockings on, nice shoes, jewellery, makeup (all usually a bit of a hit and miss affair) and I felt thin. Hah - thin and a size 18. But it felt good and it reminded me how extraordinarily good it will feel when I am thin and a size 16, then 14, then we will see about 12.
Today will be fun. I am taking Mum and DS1 to check out the new Ikea store at Rhodes. As the promo says it is the biggest Ikea store in the southern hemisphere. I am hoping by the time we get there I would have figured out how to program my new pedometer (whoo hooo I have officially joined the ranks of the 'steppers') because I think I could easily walk a few thousand steps around the store. I am going to have a good day and replicate my efforts so that I can replicate my results. :)

Yey for you. Isn't it great to see the scales moving down!
IKEA, I'm so glad that I don't live close to a store otherwise I'd be in there all the time spending money. And they all look exactly the same worldwide. I could have sworn that I was back in the UK store when I walked into the one in Melbourne!!

What a fantastic loss! Doesn't it feel great when you start to really notice in your clothing and the mirror!

You are just amazing! Give yourself a big hug from me.
Can you guys stop going on about IKEA - you're making me miss Sydney! No IKEA in NZ.

Your really cruising along. I feel really motivated when I read how your going.
What kind of pedometer did you get?
Have fun shopping, I would love to see that Ikea store - they have such gorgeous stuff. We have the biggest grocery store in the southern hemisphere down the road - it's why I moved here! JUST KIDDING! It makes me feel rather blessed though!

Any size change is a buzz! It's great that you are concentrating on NSVs (non-scale victories) as they are the ones that will get you past the plateaus (if you have any!)
7.7kg is tremendous, go you!

congrats lady m! i think seeing the number drop is a good motivator and a good reminder of why you're doing the things you do. when they don't, it's harder to make the connexion, but yet it is even more a reminder of why you do what you do. (measuring helps, and accepting that things flow and bodies like all things in nature are intricate complicated things! ;))
