Today I have gone into the 'healthy for your age' BMI zone 
and have knocked a whole 10 points off my BMI since I started in January. I kind of guessed I'd hit this mark today, so I bought myself some size 12 jeans yesterday and kept them for after this morning's weigh-in (at home!) and they do straight up without any breathing in or squirming around on the bed! Hurrah!

Today I've stepped out of the obese BMI for the first time in my life! Feels awesome have hit club 20 too!
I spent 4 days at a friend's student house this week where (during *week) I was tempted with Chinese, home made banana muffins, icecream smoothies and sweets galore- turned my nose up at the lot! I've hit my pre-holiday mini goal a week early too

I only had one pair of shorts which are size 20 and massive on me. I thought it was wayyyyy too warm to wear jeans in this weather so I found a pair of my sisters shorts and their size 14 :O I'm still in shock that I could get them on because I can't actually ever remember being a size 14!!! They are a little on the tight side and they're linen so do have a bit of stretch but I'm beaming from ear to ear!!!!

This is going to be TMI but anyway....first time in 7 years I have started my period naturally, my PCOS and weight stopped my periods and only time i got them in that 7 years was when I was put on the pill and suffered severe depression with it...been avoiding the pill ever since, lest to say i lost my monthlies again...this morning looks like they've restarted, and it can only be down to losing enough weight to trigger them back in as i'm on no meds of medical or herbal variety. Safe to say i'm a happy bunny this morning cos it means my dr won't try forcing me on the pill again!
Ok tmi over

That is such great news, couldn't be happier for you
I always complain about my time of the month (mainly cause mine are quite painful!) but this makes me realise that I need to put things into perspective.

Give it a few months (providing they turn out to be regular) and i'll probably be cursing them haha
This probably doesn't seem like much to most of you guys, but bear in mind I'm still roughly 7st overweight (about the weight of an extra small woman) and you'll understand...I cracked out the Xbox and my Zumba fitness (dusted off all of them) and had a go for the first time since just after I bought it. The last time I played it, I managed one routine from the beginner class and thought my legs were going to fall off, so I had to stop. This time round, I managed 3 routines from the same class, and also did quite well at keeping in time with the instructor. I'm very pleased with myself and I reckon that if it hasn't been so hot (and the OH hadn't come spying and putting me off), I could probably have finished the 20 minute class without actually passing out

Huge improvement! Well done. You must be chuffed x
I'm delighted, gonna try to have a go at least 3 times a week, and then start some actual classes (mostly for the social aspect and for instructor feedback). Can't wait
will have to barricade the door to keep the OH and the dog out
I would imagine as I get closer to target, I'll have fewer issues with it, when only the things the should be are jiggling, but just at the minute, there are some things he doesn't need to see
I know, tbh, I needed the boost this evening that being able to do that amount of Zumba gave me because I've been flagging this last week or 3, had my first gain (and a pretty big one) since starting in January and I think it knocked me a bit, because it wasn't really deserved...clothes and scale victories are great, but nothing beats realising that you're getting (even slightly) fitter.
