Hi Bee! 
How's your day been? Good, I hope!
Been for a 3 mile walk, burned 350 cals, so hope that's helped - knowing my luck I'll have gained due to muscles having more water in them, arrgghhh!!
Lovely and sunny, but sooooooo cold!
I'm not expecting to have lost tbh, esp as I now know my monthly visit is due on Friday!
I always retain water in the week before!

Peaches!!
Once I get back to work, I always feel better once I get to Wednesday! Don't know why I want to go back thinking about it, must be mad, but it's my independence so I will
Glad you've had a nice day too

Bee!
I know, hate it - but hopefully I'll get a bigger than expected loss next week!! I can wish can't I!!

Good Morning Ladies!
Week two over, phew - not much happened weight wise, so here goes! -
11st 8lbs - loss of 1lb (however, I did gain 2lbs, lost them again, then lost one more, so I'm happy!)
= total loss of 12lbs to date.
Measurements -
Neck - 13.5" STS
Shoulder Circ - 37" - loss of 1"
Chest - 37.5" - loss of 0.5"
Natural Waistline - 29.75" - loss of 0.5"
Waistline - 32.75" - loss of 1.25"
Hips (widest part) - 38.5" - loss of 1.5" **
Hips (natural hipline) - 36.5"
Forearms - 8" - loss of 0.5"
Biceps - 11.25" - loss of 0.5"
Thighs - 23.5" - loss of 0.5"
Calves - 15.5" - loss of 0.5"
Total loss for this week = 10" all over
**I have however, been measuring my hips in the wrong place (wish S&S had sent me their brochure in the first instance!) - I've been measuring around the widest part, i.e., tops of my legs, around the bottom of my bottom (lol). Apparently, you measure around the top of the hip-bone, just as your derriere starts to curve out!
However, as I have been measuring incorrectly, I will keep measuring there, but also add in a new measurement (will need it for my clothes!!).
So, in effect, a 1lb loss on last week, but a 10" loss all over. That's a little confusing - where have the inches gone, when I've only lost 1lb!!
I am clinging to the fact I may be retaining water due to TOTM being due, and hoping for a better loss in week 3!
Have a great day eveyone!

I am very pleased with the inch loss! Though I don't understand how I can lose all those inches, yet only 1lb, lol!
Oh well, a loss is a loss is a loss I'm happy!
Yep, want rid of inches AND weight lol! Hoping wk3 is better - everything I've read and been told, it is supposed to be!
Thanks lovely, you too!

Well done

...we're sinking deeper.
Well done Nat!!
The reason for no loss on the scale is - some researchers believe - that when a fat cell empties itself of fat, it can become filled with water. Maybe it has a lesser density than fat and it doesn't bulge out so much? Who knows. At least you know the thing you want gone is all slowly melting away!!

Thanks my lovely!!
And thanks for explaining - that makes sense. Saves me researching too, so a BIG thank you for that!
Yep it is, and I love it, lol!
Have a great day!!

Well, a lovely day!
I went to see some friends, one who's travelled up from Essex who I've not seen since November, was lovely!
Hubby looked after LO, so I had a free day, yipee! I love to be with my LO, but a day out on my own is a treat, and a rarity!
Lots of temptation, but I resisted and just had my Dark Choc Truffa Bar and half a litre of water, and two small black coffee's.
Best of all - everyone remarked on my weight loss - the last time I saw most of them I was 13st 2lbs, and one hadn't seen me since I was 13 st 14lbs - so I think it was a shock for them! They also said how healthy I looked - no wonder with all this flippin water, I feel like an extra from Titanic!
I need some jeans! Mine now hang off me and look ridiculous - I had to wear a long floaty top to cover the tops of them!. My size 12's are a tad tight, and I think wearing tight jeans when my legs are still large is not a good look!
I'll have to stick it out and wear leggings, don't see point in buying jeans I may only have to wear for a couple of weeks!
A really nice day, blew the cobwebs away!
Hope you've all had a good day too! xxx
