Okay I'm going to do it, I'm going to talk numbers and weight in a post on the world wide web. SCARY!!!
A trick we learnt in pole last term
"Look mum, no hands!"
First of all I should tell you that I'm 168cm to put things into perspective.
I'll start with my starting weight at the start of this round of 12WBT - 70.3kg (granted part of this was due to my over indulgence the week prior).
At the photo in this post I was around 62kg.
At our engagement party, I was pretty happy with how I looked and I was 64kg.
My goal for the first month of 12WBT was to get to 67kgs. I didn't care of it was 67.8 or 67.2 - that was my monthly goal.
In the first week I lost and weighed in at 69.1
Second week - lost another 900grams, weighed in at 68.2
Third week - gained 500grams - 68.7
And yesterday???? I lost 800grams and weighed in at 67.9!!!!!!! I only just made it in to the 67's but I don't care, I'm not getting caught up in semantics. I achieved my goal and I am proud.
I am starting to feel like myself again.
I have currently lost 2.4kgs and 3.4% of my body weight.
My two month goal is to be in the 65's.
The "Angel"
In addition to weigh in, at the monthly mark I also had to do my measurements. I don't think there is much point in revealing what each measurement is, but I will tell you the difference from when I started until now...
Hips - down 7cm
Waist - down 4cm
Arm - one down 4cm, the other 3cm
Legs - one down 5cm, the other 3cm
Again, I'm stoked!!
12WBT Brocolli Soup- YUmMMm!
I know this second month will be harder to keep dropping the weight. I have recently purchased a polar heart rate monitor and once I pick it up from the post office I'll be setting myself exercise goals to keep pushing the limits!
Anyone have any ideas for exercise goals??
do what you love - it won't feel like exercise!
ReplyDeleteThat seems to happen with pole dancing.. I guess I just need to find another type too maybe? Thanks x
Deletepost photos of yorself when you were 70 kilos showing you losing weight, whats the point in showing photos of when you were already at an optimal weight?? Thats just cheating, and poor form
Deletehaha anon!! you jerk!!
Deletecheating and poor form is hiding behind anon...
hahaha thanks onika, but it's fine... I didn't post photos of when I was 70kg because it was only a month ago, so I figured there were plenty of them on my blog already but feel free to look at either of these two posts to see...

Why don't you just put on another 5 to 10kg and then you can post me those photos......I am not scared.......I am anon!! I know all
DeleteI'm not sure what that even means.... But I do think everyones weight loss journey is different and this is mine.
DeleteAh the angel!! We call that 'upright showgirl' at my studio. We were doing it last night in a routine (I've been able to do it for about 6 months, so the pain is pretty much gone) BUT I had laser bikini treatment on Monday night and OMG was in a whole new world of pain.
ReplyDeleteAnyway...don't do that. But do things you love and that way the exercise won't feel like a chore. Incidental exercise is great too.
Also - just wanted to say, I think you look amazing. I'm in the process of gaining weight to look more like your body type haha!!
xx
OMG I was doing it in a routine last night too!! We went from a layout to the angelo to hello boys! lol. Ouch that would have hurt, I have only learnt the angel this term, which finished last night and I have some awesome bruises in bad places right now lol.
DeleteAww that's sweet, thanks hun!
Well done, well done, WELL DONE YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you stick to it and see the results, that's what makes it all worthwhile! xx
hehehe thanks Cat!!!!
DeleteI wish I could go to pole dancing.
ReplyDeleteI am working up my strength at the gym so maybe one day I will.
OH wow congrats on the weightloss how good does it feel to step on the scales.
Keep up the good work!
Sophie are you serious??? I had barely any strength when I first started and my bestie could barely lift a thing... you build it by preactising moves - i've been doing it for 6months now. I think you should give it a go, you'd be surprised!!
DeleteThanks sweety, same to you - I've been seeing your insta pics at the gym xx
the HR monitor is a god send it really makes me push myself more! we had pretty similar stats- i'm 2cm taller & a couple of kilos heavier
ReplyDeletemy optimal weight is 58 - its been a few years but im, hoping somehow to get back there!!!
good work. and pole dancing i'm so scared off ahha i'd fall off for sure and cry and cry that i have to wear underwear to workout and just generally be PETRIFIED!! good on you!! xx
I can't wait to pick it up and use it. Ahhh we are the same! Lowest I got last time was 61.8... I haven't been 60 since I was about 19, but that would be nice! lol.
DeleteYou'd be amazed what you could probably do on a pole hahaha
Congratulations :-) First on having the courage to post your stats and also for you great results. 7cm of your hips is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of you height lol. I'm only 163cm another 5cm would be awesome :-)
Thanks hun, it actually feels kind of liberating.
DeleteHahahaha we always want what we're not right? :P
as for the 7cm, there's plenty of junk in that trunk ahaha
DeleteWell done! I'm 5'2 and 50kg, I just need to get toned by summer but I hate the gym, running, exercise etc. so we'll see how that goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks hun and good luck to you! If you're looking at tonin rather than losing weight, weights and strength work might be more ideal, along with pilates or something similar?
DeleteThat's AWESOME! Congrats on getting to your goal.. and good luck on reaching the next!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks babe, your blog seems to always keep me in check :)
DeleteWell done !! You look great & now that you've lost a bit it will keep you motivated to loose more
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping... hahaha
Deletethats amaazing how much weight you lost! i dont think i can ever do it because i have absolutely no upper body strength =/

Do you mean pole dancing? I think you just build it as you go and you don't even realise it!
DeleteCongrats! Your results are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to lose weight/tone up before my wedding too which is 9 months away. I've been working my ass off at the gym for the last 3 months(3 times/wk + 1/wk PT session) but haven't lost any kgs yet. However had my measurements done yesterday and apparently I've lost 2 kg of fat and gained 2 kgs of muscle (lost 4cm off my waist and 4 off hips, only 0.5 off arms).
wow that is awesome! I record my weight, but personally I think the measurements mean more... have you altered your diet at all? That tends to make me lose more weight than all the exercise combined! Good luck babe xx
DeleteThank you :)
DeleteYes, I am following plan that my PT recommended for me (1500 - 1700 cal, 100-120 g of protein, 200 g of carbs, 30 g of fat per day). It does seem to be like a lot of food and carbs but he told me that this formula is the best for muscle building/fat burning.
