Great news, congratulations! The body changes quicker than the mind sometimes, doesn't it! (Your body is changing pretty quickly) What about taking photos- perhaps three standard shots, front, back and side- every half stone to stone loss- and displaying these in some prominant position from heaviest down? Let your brain catch up a bit.

 

[Ria.]

sounds like a good idea, i may try that! thanks x

 

[Pink!]

Hey hey, I'm glad everything in your life seems to be coming to fruition all in one big go, with the bloke and job and such.
The body changes much easier than the mind, less calories and a bit of exercise and things start changing, minds need all sorts of encouragement and lots of proof. I think the photos would probably be a good idea too

You do amazingly at the gym! I did 15 mins on rowing machine and 20 on cross trainer and I was sweating like a*insert rude simile here*.

How's work n such?

[Ria.]

[Pink!]

Oh congrats on the measurements and shorts lol, good times You're doing amazingly.

What machines do you use at the gym, I do pretty much exclusively the rowing machine and cross trainer; have you found any other machines to be good?

 

[Ria.]

my gym is small but i do cross trainer, rower, bike and treadmill. i hate running so just do a quick walk on a high incline which burns just as much calories.

i tend to do 3 machines when i go, normally alternate between the rower and bike

 

[Rigby]

Well done on those too-big shorts!
