Spinny update

I DID IT!!

I feel like this now:

... but I did it! The full 45 minutes! I tell you, I was ready to stop after 15 minutes. The next 30 I have no idea how I managed to do it, but I did.

So POO to you nay sayers.

A message...

... to the person who looked me up and down and said "you'll die" when I said I was going to my first spin class today:

At least I'm doing it. Don't judge me because I'm overweight. You know where I started on this weight loss journey. It's hurtful to do what you did. I'm a lot fitter than a lot of my skinny friends now! You too, are very overweight, so please, think before you comment.

I do know I'm going to struggle, and probably not be able to keep up. But I'm giving it a go and that is what is important.

Wish me luck, I'll let you know how I go!

New bottom!

I just tried on some jeans, as I was running out of long pants that fit.

No longer is it like this:

I cannot believe it, but in 7 months, I've come from a size 26 butt to a size 18 butt!! That's a US 22/3X to a US 14 L/XL according to my online converter.

I honestly didn't think I was going to fit in them as the ones I tried a week or two ago didn't fit around my belly (it's a bit big really) but it turns out they must be small waisted.

THAT helps me keep going!! Oh and the fact that I am still hovering around 100kg even at TTOTM. ;)

Weigh in

This is how I plan on weighing myself now.

What do you think? Great results I'd say!!

Anyway I'm still here, I haven't been posting much as my weight loss story is boring at the moment. Monotonous on and off scales, not seeing really any changes, watching what I eat (um... mostly LOL), still going to the gym. Nothing at all exciting to report. Plateau's suck - especially when you know that it's probably your own doing but you don't have the brain power to get off. ;)

An update on comments

I've worked out that for some bizarre technomological reason I can't comment on blogs if they have the comments embedded below the post (like mine *were*). I've changed mine so I can at least comment on mine if someone else does, but if I don't comment on yours that's probably why. Sorry! I'd love to though!

Commenting

For the last couple of weeks I've had trouble commenting on blogs - I just did one then and it works, so hopefully I'm back again. But don't think I've been ignoring you!! Just Google hating me. :P

Are you sitting down??

I was excited enough yesterday when I had to buy 2 new bra's and they were another size smaller in the body measurement, but, today, I have news that tops that by far!!

I AM UNDER 100KG!!!!

DOUBLE FIGURES!!!

My first goal! I have reached my first goal!! I'm now 99.6kg and ECSTATIC!!! For my outside Aus friends that is basically the equivalent of getting under 200lb, the excitement of that. The milestone.

I have a long way to go to get to my ideal weight but by crikey, it's been a LOOOONNNGGG time since I've been under 100kg!!

I think it must be time for a fish picture!! ROFL!!!

That's a 27kg carp. I've lost the equivalent of that fish!! See how heavy it is for that man to hold?

I'm excited. I want more fish!!

How on earth have I been carrying that around all the time??

I really am proud of myself. It's a whole new life I have here, one where I can actively participate in the life of my family. I can DO things!!

This is massive. It has certainly helped me see the other side better... I'm on the other side!! Right side of the fence now, all downhill from here.
