Do you measure yourself?

[JestersTear]

I've only measured myself a couple of times since I started in June. I seem not to change size that much, so actually measuring myself makes me less, not more, downhearted.
Maybe I should join a gym to help change my body shape?

I have not measured myself lately and am going to on mon am before class as I did loose heaps of inches when I did it on ww every month so just want to see if I still do now.

 

[JestersTear]

I guess I should try and do it once a month - not sure when I did it last

*checks*

Ah, December...

 

[BikerAngel]

yep I loved logging my measurements and seeing the diff even if it did not show on the scales I could see the inches go.

 

[JestersTear]

That's the thing though..I just didn't feel that the inches were coming off...

 

[BikerAngel]

I did a lot of walking and some swimming

 

[JestersTear]

That's probably it.
I do have my bronze body magic award, but could do more...

I measured myself at the start and also the other day. The results were quite suprising although I knew I'd lost some inches anyway (new jeans which are already becoming lose!) I put the results in my diary to remind myself on those down days that I can do this.

I really need to get my journal out and start writing again. My last entry was October!

I measure myself every Monday when I weigh in - I took my measurements when I started and I have lost a lot of inches but to be honest it takes exercise - since I have started doing a bit more my inches are starting to decline, all be it slowly! I've joined a pilates class because I used to do that and I was much more toned.xx

I really should start thinking about 'formal' exercise now...but I still feel too big, you know?

I bought a couple of fitness DVDs and have started doing them ~ I like the idea that you can do these in the privacy of your home, the same as the Wii fit. Walking is great too. Just noticed how much weight you have lost to date Jes so a big well done hun ~ that's brill! xx:happy096:

 

[JestersTear]

Thanks hon x

I have a Wii Fit here but haven't used it since September...I just got out of the routine of it.
We walk a couple of times every week...but that's not really enough now, is it?

 

[weemo]

Hi Jes - every bit of exercise helps no matter how little it is ~ walking is great! xx

 

[JestersTear]

Yeah, I guess you're right....
There's talk of buying bikes in a couple of months *eeek*

 

[weemo]

I would love to get a bike but I hate the thought of all the dogs on my road running after me!

 

[JestersTear]

hehehe...I'm worried that I'll have forgotten how to ride a bike.
Last time I did, I was about 10!
