  • GlamGirlie, I've added you to the first post.

    As for your BMI, there's no need to be embarrassed. At the start of my 'diet' mine was 30.21. It's now 27.29 which is still too high, but it's headed in the right direction. If you put your mind to it, you can reduce it.

    I've now lost a total of 17lb. I have lost 3 inches off the widest part of my waist, 1 off my 'natural' waist, 2 off my hips and 1 off my bust.

    That's amazing! Well done!:T
  • Thanks QQ!

    I'm generally happy with my bust and waist measurements but I want the hips to reduce! I still have quite a way to go until I get to my target weight, so I'm looking for other positives...

  • Just subtlely nudging this up the board by reporting another 1lb off. My BMI is slowly reducing, and I've already lost 10% of my starting body weight.

    I still have body issues, but hopefully I'll get to my target weight by around March time which (coincidentally) is when I'm having the contraceptive implant out.

    Well done COMP!:T:j
    My weight has stopped moving for a while now:o At least I'm not gaining any...
  • Hi folks, sorry not been on here much, busy at work!!!

    I've been doing Dukan Diet, and lost 6lb the first week, but then practically nothing. And ended up with a cold I couldn't shift because of the lack of veg.

    So now I'm just going to try eating little and often, so I'm not hungry and then tempted to snack on bad things.
    I am employed as a manager in a financial services institution. My views are entirely my own.
  • Glamgirlie, a loss is still a loss! Same applies to you, QQ!

    I'm now almost half way to my goal weight - I started my diet mid september, so I'm hoping that by the time we are TTC in March that I'll have got to goal!
