I love Rosemary Connelly DVDs :j

I know there are lots of 'newer' ones on the market, but I like hers because I feel they're achievable.

I’ve been struggling abit with motivation recently so I decided to take a week or so off – well, kind of. I halved the exercise, slightly eased off on the diet and skipped the weigh-in. I’ll be back for a proper weigh in tomorrow.

Anyway, I was getting really down about how slowly my weight is dropping, even though mentally I KNOW that it HAS to take a long time to be sustainable and to stay off. But I managed to find some perspective, so I thought I’d share it in case it prompts anyone else who’s been having motivational issues to find their own boost (and also so I can come back and read it next time I’m feeling down):

1. I threw out my biggest pair of “fat” jeans. The next ones down fit me comfortably for the first time in a while and I’m never going to let myself get so big again.
2. I’m wearing last winter’s work clothes – might not seem like a big step but part of my trigger to lose weight was the huge amount I put on giving up smoking (in April). Now I’m back to my pre-quitting size (in fact probably a little less)
3. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]My fitness has improved hugely, I can do my 2hr workout and not just collapse in a jelly-like heap after.
4. When I was doing a little exercise at the weekend my OH (out of the blue, which is pretty unusual for him) pointed out that I had picked up the pace a lot in my wii jogging.
5. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]I can do a press-up(s)!
6. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]I had reason to put on a white shirt I haven’t worn for months. It has gone from too tight to wear to “comfortable” (fat person speak for loose).
7. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]It might be small changes, but my weight has gone down every single week since I came back from holiday (sometimes too small to record here I think).

66.9 kg today. That's - 0.2 kg from last week.

This converts to 10 stone 7 pounds and approx half a pound.

A -1lb loss for me this week Fred.

This means I am no longer obese :j:j:j Odd to feel so pleased about being overweight, but I am.

Good luck with the weight loss this week everyone.
