Living My Life But(t) N.A.K.E.D.

Ok here goes - planning on updating once a week or whenever I lose £'s and lbs

Height - 5' 3.5"
Weight - 143.4lbs - 10st 3.4lbs:eek::eek:
BMI - 25.4 :eek::eek:
Body Fat % - 34.2%:eek::eek:

Measurements:
Chest - 39 inches
Waist - 33 inches:eek::eek:
Hips - 38.5 inches
Thigh - 19.5 inches
Arms - 12 inches

Clothes Size - 12/14 but funny thing is I'm wearing size 10 skinny jeans at the moment, really don't get it!

Three years ago I had a medical at work, weight was 9st 3lbs, BMI 22.4, then another medical a year ago, 9st 13lbs and BMI 23.9, so I've put on a stone, not 16lbs like I thought but hey what is 2lbs between friends.

Ideal weight for me is back at 9st 3lbs, but first goal is 10st so 3.4lbs to lose, hopefully by the end of August.

Second goal, 9.5st so another 7lbs off by end of October perhaps, seems doable. Will be keeping a food diary also, but I won't bore anyone with that, although might post it after a week to see if anyone can advise if I'm still not eating correctly.

Wish me luck, I'm going to need it cos I can eat for Scotland, obviously I have been :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Swintsie.
Sorry I haven't been in for a while.
Congratulations on your engagement- I'm sure to see you on the wedding board as we both plan for the weddings!!
I think I've overdone it recently watching wedding stuff- I even watched Bulging Brides. I don't know quite how it can get that title when lots of them seem to be below average to start with!
I've just bought my wedding dresses and will try and post pictures on my new diary later. Hopefully you can help keep me on trach with wedding spending!!
It's great to see all the progress you are making.

Morn all,

Forgot the boards were supposed to be down and logged in anyway, not down til 10am!

Thanks Missy and Jellie, knew we were getting engaged but it's all still a bit of a shock, got vouchers from some of the guys at work yesterday, really wasn't expecting it. Didn't know people did engagement presents, very appreciated.

We've not set a date yet but as we are trying to save for house moving as well, we really need to set a fairly realistic budget to save up, once I'm out of debt, I don't want to go back. It would be nice if we had the wedding once I was totally debt free which is March 2012 so a nice June wedding would be lovely. Will catch up with your new diary Jellie, and also yours Missy, wondered why there were no updates in the old one xx

P.S. I was bad yesterday and ate a pack of M&M's and two small pieces of caramel cake - oops!

*Jellie*

How lovely to get those vouchers.
Your plans for getting married and the house sound similar to mine. It is a great feeling to be saving for wedding and house stuff rather than getting debt for it. It will be well worth the wait!

Evening all,

Not much to report, no weight lost, stupid scales says I've put a pound on, how is that possible?? Well, guess not been as good as I should've been but I have been trying, so dying to stop using the patch, might lose some weight then.

Emailed a venue I seen for the wedding, really good deal but as we've not set a date yet it's hard to decide where we want to do it, looks like our ceremony venue might not work out, it was fab as well. Will call about that tomorrow though just to check possibilities. Quite tired so gonna have a wee cuppa tea and head to bed, night all x

*Jellie*

I found venue hunting quite difficult. So many seemed overpriced for what you were getting. Found a dreamy venue with a price tag to match! It was quite hard not to go for it and go the MSE route instead but I'm happy we are as I think I'd have got more stressed with the dream venue trying to get everything perfect!
Hope your hunt for a venue goes well!

Morning all,

Well two weeks today til payday and it's not looking great. The only bonus is that OH is standby at the weekend so we won't be able to do too much i.e. spend much.

Only got £34 odd in my purse and got haircut on Monday - £7, neice's birthday next Monday - might be an IOU for her though. Got food in, OH is cooking for me tomorrow night, so will save on food for then, no lunch today as didn't have any ingredients to make a sarnie. Hoping the soup in the canteen isn't mushroom. Got a course tomorrow, lunch included, goodness I hate being skint!

Going to have to get a wriggle on as we're setting up an account this month for house/wedding so really need to watch what I'm doing, bonus is that I can categorically, hand on heart say that I have not been near a shop for almost three weeks now - that is fab for me. I do need some tea-tree and shower gel but will visit semi-chem at the weekend for that.

Have a Happy Hump Day everyone xx

Glad you decided to stick around a bit! This month is skint for me too - I've promised a friend to come visit him in Finland, but now need to squeeze out another £200 for flights! Yikes

Good luck with lunch!
