Weekly Weigh In, 40lbs less Helly!

At bloody last! After 3 weeks of putting in maximum effort and not being rewarded for it, the scales showed a 3lb loss this morning. Thank goodness, because I was about ready to give up, I was that frustrated. My 3lb loss this week has meant I hit 40lbs in total! 40lbs! That's the same as an average human leg! Imagine carrying around an extra leg...

Back to the Spring Chick Challenge. I haven't posted about it for a couple of weeks now because I feel like it hasn't been all that relevant to me, but this weeks challenge is something I can do, and need to do. It's to up the duration or intensity of your exercise. Last week I worked out 3 times, this week I want to up it to 5. 5 lots of 20 or 30 minutes minimum isn't hard to achieve, and I really want to push to lose 2lbs this week as that will bring me to 3 stones lost, or 20% of my starting body weight! Eeek, a big goal! Wish me luck!

    Congratulations on your loss!! That is quite the accomplishment! I myself am just getting started on getting healthier. I was on Weight Watchers before and loss 15 lbs but something happened and I stopped and gained it all back! You are an inspiration to me to do it again! So I am joining a Stroller Strides class so I can bring my son with me to work out and I am eating healthier now too! Thank you for this blog!!

    I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. You don't know me but you've inspired me. Today I weighed myself and I am exactly your starting weight - 16st 4lbs. Same as you, I'm 20+ mother or two and seeing your before and after picture makes me think I too can do it.

    You know when you think of how much weight you have to lose it all seems so overwhelming. That's how I feel at the moment. I can't believe how your picture is making me feel motivated. I think it's because your starting weight really resonates with me. I am going to do it it starting from today.

    Well done and I wish you well for the future.
