Latest Measurements & a photo to boot!

Since my last post, I reached my goal weight of 75, and then have stayed the last week back at around the 75.5-76kg mark. I'm not too concerned, I know that I've hit it once and no doubt I will be back there in the coming weeks.

I did my measurements on the weekend, and slowly but steadily there is more improvement. My next goal is to get all of my bust/waist/hips measurements under the magic 100cm mark!

Area - 30/8/12 - 9/2/13 - 18/08/13  -  Total cm lost

Neck  -   43cm  -  38cm  -  34cm         9cm lost
Chest  -  133cm  -  113cm  -  101cm          32cm lost
Waist (bellybutton)  -  135cm  -  116cm  -  102.5cm         32.5cm lost
Hips  -   143cm  -  121cm  -  106.5cm          36.5cm lost
Bicep  -  36cm  -  32cm  -  27.5cm          8.5cm lost
Thigh  -  79cm  -  65cm  -   59cm         20cm lost
Calf  -   46cm  -  39cm  - 36cm         10cm lost

Which equals a grand total of 101cm lost off of my bust/waist/hips, and a grand total of 148.5cm lost from my body. Just astonishing!

Here's a comparison photo...

Check in and a major milestone reached

Sorry for the radio silence recently. I have been flat out between work and an awesome holiday in the eastern states.

I achieved 50 kilograms lost as of my birthday on July 21st! That was a lovely present and something that I had been waiting and hoping for. Since then, I have lost another kilo, and am currently weighing 75.3kg, only .3 of a kilo away from my dream goal weight that I set at the beginning of this whole process.

I am still doing well, with a lot of restriction most days, but occasionally being able to eat larger amounts, depending on how I'm feeling and what the food is. Certainly nothing in comparison to what I used to eat, that's for sure! My only real complication is my low blood pressure which causes me head spins whenever I stand up, but I can cope with that. I'm due for all my bloods and have an appointment at the Bariatric Clinic in early September for my 12 month check up, so I'm sure they will look into that then.

So time for some photos!
