taken 7th June 2011


I got a wii at the end of last month and UNFORTUNATELY I weigh alot more on it (probably due to it being on a rug and not my flat bathroom floor!) so I am just going to go by measurements for a while until I work out which scale is right... I also don't have any batteries working in my scales right now!

Update on measurements!
Bust 49''
Waist 41''
Thigh 28 3/4''
Arm 16 1/2''
Neck 15 3/4''

I am doing at least 30 minutes wii fit a day and it reckons I have lost 4lbs in my first week! I am not putting too much faith in the accuracy of the wii fit scale though, but one thing is for sure, I AM feeling somewhat fitter than I did a week and a day ago!
I also gave my size 12 jeans and pants away as I reckon I wont be heading for that size again, but will be very happy a comfortable size 14 without having to fight to keep at that size.

5th June - Ok so I got some batteries for my scales, and on a flat floor in my bathroom I am weighing in alot lighter than the wii fit has me at, so I am quite confident that is more accurate than the wii (which I cant see how you can tell if it's right?) BUT... I am on the wii every morning so I am going to go by that which had me weighing in at 17stone 3lbs today, making a loss of 8lbs anyway over the past 10 days (it had me at 17 stone 11 lbs on 27th May) - but I would say that I am really in the mid 16 stones, but WHATEVER .. I am fat lol, and I am arguing with myself over lbs when I have MANY stones to lose...s o for CONVENIENCE sakes I am going to go by the wii and adjust my ticker to suit that... and if at the end I end up really lighter than I thought then that is surely a bonus!!!

I also have a small update on some measurements (it is all the hula hooping on the wii I swear!)
Bust 49''
Waist 40 3/4''
Thigh 28 1/2''
Arm 16 1/2''
Neck 15 1/2''
Since begining of May I have lost Bust - 1/2'', Waist, 1 1/4'', Thigh 1/2'', Arm 1'' and Neck 3/4''
When I was doing my hula hooping tonight I caught sight of myself in the mirror and I can visullay see I am tightening up, I just didnt look as flabby so I am pretty pleased with the wii whatever weight it says I am!
The wii, in it's wisdom, also tells me my ideal weight is 10 stones, so have gone along with that... who am I to argue with technology!

7th June - Yesterday I went out in a dress I bought a few weeks ago, and a few weeks ago my belly was tight in it and now it feels really comfy and I felt good for the first time in ages... yes I am still huge but I feel fitter and if I say so myself, noticeably tighter. I can't recommend the wii fit highly enough! Soon I might not still look pregnant!
Tonight I did 10 minutes of a hula hooping game and boy can I feel it! I loves it!!! I feel for the first time since becoming a mammy that I can actually lose this weight all over again! and my mindset might finally be in the right place for it!
My daughter also likes going on the wii and everymorning asks if there is going to be numbers in the piggy (so cute!) and she managed 4 hula spins today! She likes to count me down to the start, 3...2... 1 - she's like my personal cheerleader!
I've also noticed on a morning my ankles arent so sore and I am not hobbling around as much and for as long as I was. I still do have fluid but it is better. I hope soon it'll be a problem of the past because it's not how I want to live.
Oh and I also put make up on for the first time in an age yesterday as I felt my face was looking a bit thinner and I could see my jaw line underneathe the flab!
