I damn well knew it would do this! My period started this evening :sigh:. It's been 9 and a half weeks since my last and it waits to turn up now grrr! Already got some minor cramps in my back and no doubt in bed tonight and tomorrow I'll be in agony. Such an inconvenience when I'm going away.
But the good thing is... even though TOTM was on its way and has shown up, I still managed to lose 2.25lb and that's also without much water intake... I feel even better about that loss now
I took all my measurements again because it's been 4 weeks since I last took them. There hasn't been a huge change in each measurement but at least there is some. Anyway I am going to list them here in my diary again and then I can throw away the piece of paper they are written on, it save me a very embarrassing moment if visitors come over and see it ol
Measurements 12 weeks ago and today and how much lost in 12 weeks:
Bust was 121cm, now 111.5cm: loss of 9.5cm
Fat pads (area just below boobs but above waist line, I call them my fat pads lol) was 111cm, now 94.5cm: loss of 16.5cm
Waist was 103cm, now 90cm: loss of 13cm
Lower waist (around belly button) was 122cm, now 107cm: loss of 15cm
Bum (around hip area) was 125cm, now 112.5cm: loss of 12.5cm
Left thigh was 76cm, now 66.5cm: loss of 9.5cm
Right thigh was 77cm, now 68.5cm: loss of 8.5cm
Left calf was 44.5cm, now 41.5cm: loss of 3cm
Right calf was 45cm, now 41cm: loss of 4cm
Left upper arm was 37.5cm, now 34.5cm: loss of 3cm
Right upper arm was 37.5cm, now 35cm: loss of 2.5cm
A total of 97cm lost (about 38.2 inches)
and the other ones people probably don't do...
Neck was 37cm, now 34cm: loss of 3cm
Left ankle was 25cm, now 24.5cm: loss of 0.5cm
Right ankle was 25cm, now 24cm: loss of 1cm
Bringing the overall total to 101.5cm lost (about 40 inches)
So in the last 4 weeks my measurements have gone down by another 25cm (9.8 inches), not bad at all.
I forgot to mention the other day in my diary that the top I bought the other day is a size 16 and it fits! It was such a good feeling as I was worried it would be a bit tight and I would have to get the 18 instead. I was hunting through my clothes and found a pair of jeans that I bought last year in a size 18 but they were too tight back then, I tried them on yesterday and they fit but are ever so slightly loose so I don't think it will be long until they're too big. While hunting through my clothes I also found a size 18 blouse last year but it was too tight around my belly and on the upper arms too, but it now fits perfectly woohoo

As of this morning I weighed 13st 3.75lb. I can't believe in 3.75lb I'll be in the 12's... Although that will be delayed because of my week off. Of course I am hoping whatever I gain I can lose again in my first week back on S&S, but it probably wont be the case knowing me!
