The Beginning - Again!

Ok. I have finally taken my measurements and a "before" photo - which I HATE by the way - I hate the way I look in this picture. I wasn't going to post it, but hey ho! At least it will be something to look back on!

So here are the all important numbers!

Saturday 16 January 2010 -

Weight: 175.6lbs

Waist: 35 3/4 inches
Hips: 47 1/2 inches
Chest: 41 1/4 inches
Below Chest: 36 inches
L Thigh: 26 1/2 inches
R Thigh: 26 inches
L Arm: 12 1/2 inches
R Arm: 12 3/4 inches
L Calf: 14 1/2 inches
R Calf: 14 1/2 inches

And the dreaded photo:



I'm actually holding a card with my weight printed on it - but you can't really see it!

To keep me motivated I bought these -

A hot pink diary to record my food and exercise!



Motivational stickers for when I have a good day!



And each week I lose weight I will give myself a certificate!



Happy Monday!

  1. Hey, I'm browsing for motivational blogs. You are a brave girl, and seem very determined I might add. Great idea about the stickers! They might be the extra push I need. OOoo! Shiny! I can see it now ...

  2. You don't need the stickers--you have all of us readers cheering you on, patting you on the back, and telling you that you're one determined woman who will make her goals in all aspects of her life!

  3. I love it! I got myself some motivational stickers a few weeks ago, but I haven't started using them yet. I think I will start that tomorrow!

    Good for you getting off to a great start with the photos, measurements, journal, etc. I am right here with you. You were the first person to follow my blog and offer me any support out here when I was feeling utterly alone, and I have always been especially fond of you for that. :o) I'll always suppport you in this too! Good luck!

  4. The incentives that you have.. the diary, stickers and awards... I did that! I definitely had a diary with stickers. It seems silly.. but it works!!! I wish you the best of luck. You are such a big inspiration. =)
