Weigh-in number 5

After my super late update on weigh-in number 4, I thought I'd share weigh-in number 5 at once. As usual, let's start by looking back:

On October 26th, the scales showed the following:

Weight	111,4 kg
BMI	36,4
Fat %	40,3 %
Fat mass	44,9 kg
Total body water	48,7 kg

Today, on November 24th, the scales showed:

Weight	102,9 kg
BMI	33,6
Fat %	32,5 %
Fat mass	33,4 kg
Total body water	50,9 kg

To summarize:

Weight	-8,5 kg
BMI	-2,8
Fat %	-7,8 %
Fat mass	-11,5 kg
Total body water	+2,2 kg

Total: 

Weight	-35,7 kg
BMI	-11,7
Fat %	-14,3 %
Fat mass	-31,5 kg
Total body water	-3,1 kg

I was wearing tights at my weigh-in today and asked my instructor if I should take them off since the scale measures body fat etc. He said we could try with the tights and take them off in case the numbers seemed inaccurate. He felt that the fat% and fat mass seemed odd so he asked me to take the tights off. When I did the scales showed an even lower fat% and fat mass :-)

REALLY pleased with this week's results, 8,5 kg lost but 11,5 kg of fat lost! :-)

Weigh-in number 4

Ooops! I totally forgot to update the blog for a few weeks, and when I did, it wasn't with the weigh-in results... So, here are the results from 4 weeks ago. Let's start by looking back:

Weight	118,3 kg
BMI	38,6
Fat %	43,6 %
Fat mass	51,6 kg
Total body water	48,8 kg

On October 26th, the scales showed:

Weight	111,4 kg
BMI	36,4
Fat %	40,3 %
Fat mass	44,9 kg
Total body water	48,7 kg

To summarize:

Weight	-6,9 kg
BMI	-2,2
Fat %	-3,3 %
Fat mass	-6,7 kg
Total body water	-0,1 kg

Total: 

Weight	-27,2 kg
BMI	-8,9
Fat %	-6,5 %
Fat mass	-20 kg
Total body water	-5,3 kg

I will follow up with this week's results in my next post!

To see the results you've been craving

Had a great weekend! One thing that's been on my list for quite some time now has been to a) get my legs waxed and b) try on my clothes that I had to put away once I was well off the wagon last time around. So on Saturday it was time for those two things. Legs smooth I tried on lots of clothes Saturday night, and - success! This will be a fall/winter with skirts skirts skirts. I've always loved skirts but have rarely used them. So now I have lots of cute skirts that fit me perfectly (even had to discard a couple that were more or less falling off me!).

Now I just need to unearth the sweaters that will go with them... :-)

Old lady?

Thanks hubby. Love you too. Hrmpf...

Nothing like when people tell "how it really is". Hubby has been very supportive and encouraging every step of my weight loss. He tells me when he notices changes in my body (and with 20 kg lost, there are some changes for sure!). But - last night, he pointed out a huge disadvantage of losing weight fast (20 kg in under 2 month surely qualifies as "fast"). "Honey, you have to start doing some exercise, you are getting all wrinkly!" Oh no! Am I starting to look like an old lady??? According to hubby, I'm getting "wrinkly" not only around my tummy (which I have noticed) but also around my legs.

So this weekend, I will dive into my workout magazines and look for the best body firming exercises I can do at home. Don't want to end up with huge amounts of excess skin around my body!

Any advice?

Weigh-in number 3

Yesterday it was time for my third weigh-in. The numbers were really pleasing to say the least:

On August 31st, the scales showed the following:
 

Weight	126,6 kg
BMI	41,3
Fat %	45,3 %
Fat mass	57,4 kg
Total body water	50,7 kg

Yesterday, On September 28th, the scales showed:

Weight	118,3 kg
BMI	38,6
Fat %	43,6 %
Fat mass	51,6 kg
Total body water	48,8 kg

To summarize:

Weight	-8,3 kg
BMI	-2,7
Fat %	-1,7 %
Fat mass	-5,8 kg
Total body water	-1,9 kg

Total:

Weight	-20,3 kg
BMI	-6,7
Fat %	-3,2 %
Fat mass	-13,3 kg
Total body water	-5,2 kg

I also filled in the xtravaganza wheel, and I'm doing quite well on all points except the mind training. I just don't seem to remember to listen to the CD - I like those 15 minutes in the beginning of each class, but at home I just don't do it. I've decided to "schedule" these 15 minutes in my calendar, trying to do it at least 3 times a week.

Weigh-in number 2

This post is long overdue. I had this weigh-in on August 31st, and the next one is scheduled for Wednesday, so I thought I'd share my last results before it's time to share the new ones!

On August 1st, the scales showed the following:

Weight	138,6 kg
BMI	45,3
Fat %	46,8 %
Fat mass	64,9 kg
Total body water	54 kg

On August 31st, the scales showed:

Weight	126,6 kg
BMI	41,3
Fat %	45,3 %
Fat mass	57,4 kg
Total body water	50,7 kg

To summarize:

Weight	-12 kg
BMI	-4
Fat %	-1,5 %
Fat mass	-7,5 kg
Total body water	-3,3 kg

I'm really pleased so far, and having weighed myself at home every now and then, I know that Wednesday's weigh-in will be a good one too! Stay tuned!
