First week weigh in

[Mrs R]

Phew - 12 lbs in one week! I know that's right because I bought a new pair of digital scales before I started.
My chest looks smaller - nothing else does

 

[millux]

nice work! first weigh-in is very motivating, isn't it? & hey look at us we have similar goals!

 

[Mrs R]

We certainly do

 

[Yambabe]

Pleased for you.

Now never mind what looks smaller or bigger (to you anyway) - get a tape measure out and measure yourself!

I do my stats once a month, so there's always been a difference so far even if my losses have slowed down a bit.

(Would it surprise you to know that I keep a spreadsheet with ALL my stats on, weight, body fat %age, measurements, all carefully recorded and graphed......... )

 

[Karen]

congrats Mrs R, thats a brilliant loss. I always lose my boobs before anything else as well!

Well done, time to update those details in user cp! Yam, i use a spreadsheet too, the one available on here somewhere. Isn't it great to be able to see your progress so easily. (If anyone wants the link i'll post it once i'm on my computer)

 

[Shuffler]

Oooh, link please Gina, yes!

 

[Tummy Tamer]

Niiice loss

Congrats Mrs R - I too didn't *see* much difference (actually, until very recently), but regularly take measurements anyway, and they do slowly change. Not by much (as in my case it's like trying to empty Edgbaston reservoir with a bucket), but they do change. Only do it every couple of weeks or so now, as it's a bit of a faff.

But I too have a chart...

Hehe, that made me laugh! I'm not doing measurements because I do not want to go anywhere near my bottom with a tape measure. There are some things a girl doesn't need to know

 

[Miss Demeanour]

Good - the analogy amuses me, too

I felt like that about the scales TBH, but I decided 1) not wanting to know doesn't change the fact that said issue exists, and 2) not knowing at the outset means I can't effectively gauge progress.

I suppose measurements are different, as in the longer run you can still tell by the fit of clothes. So, whatever works

 

[Quak]

Well done on your first weeks loss, good stuff!

I bet it's nowhere near as big as you think it is! But at the end of the day it's your choice.

I do my measurements every calendar month and it's kind of nice to see those numbers going down too though.
