Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 first a pair of hefty squirrels in 2011 I was a 16/18 and that shirt was full of tummy and I mean full of tummy , I had more rolls than greggs the bakers and now , Sri Lankan formal dress is pretty unforgiving so I am rather pleased to have ditched at least 2.5 stone informal is pretty unforgiving as well actually I am now a 10/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 You look fab Sam I have gone from a 14 to an 8-10 I ordered a bikini for my hols a few weeks ago, they only had an 8 or a 12. I knew the 12 would be too big, so went for the 8. It's a perfect fit I also ordered shorts, but they had a size 10 in those, so I knew I was safe and they also fit ok (if not very short!)

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think you looked pretty small in your before photos Jayne but you look so so so more confident in your after photos and a lot younger ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 You all look great I am still managing to maintain at just under 9 stone which I feel is about right for me, This was me 3 years ago. This is me now. I was a size 18 and am now a 10 on the bottom half and a 12 /14 up top and weigh 3 and a half stone lighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well done Vonny, you look fab I wasn't huge before I started, I weighed in at 10 stone, but am now down to 8 and a half stone As I feel better about myself, I have haircuts more often and actually get my nails and eyebrows done regularly, which is something I never used to do. It's amazing what a difference just losing 1 and a half stone makes to your confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Vonny you look great Your right Jayne , I think its because you are looking after your self in one area that you start to look after your self in other areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murtle Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 10 mile run completed for tonight in 1hr 52 including time to re tie stupid laces and stop off to buy a bottle of water!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well done Loobie, a 3 mile run after a break is good going. I don't think I could run 3 miles Aqua fit was cancelled tonight, but didn't find out till was already in the pool, so I decided to see how many lengths I could do. I did 20, could have done more, but I got bored Don't know how I used to do 100 lengths 3x per week All the gym instructors were on a course on Monday, and Mr Grumpy was told in front of all the other instructors that he was doing his squats wrong (he was rounding his shoulders). Of course that has now led to them all really taking the mick out of him, which I joined in on Unfortunately this meant that he gave us millions of squats to do in strength and conditioning on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 my PT really pushed me today with rear lunges whilst pushing up a 6kg kettle bell single handed , followed by the most evil core TRX exercises know to man followed by a discussion on the risks of overtraining muscles and addiction to Endorphins I told him in no uncertain terms after todays exercises I was highly unlikely to overtrain or indeed get any Endorphins let alone get addicted to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ha ha ha Sam! That's a great way to teach you not to get addicted to it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khanu Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 10 mile run completed for tonight in 1hr 52 including time to re tie stupid laces and stop off to buy a bottle of water!! After getting sick of retying laces on a certain pair of trainers I bought these xtentex laces. They are brilliant, no more problems with laces coming loose. As they are elastic you can slip your trainers on without "undoing" or anything, which I figure will come in handy when I eventually do a triathlon too. My trainer is back after a month away. We had our first session yesterday morning, my body knows all about it today. However I did manage to stay exactly the same weight whilst she was away, which given the stressful shitty month I've had I'm relieved about. Does prove that I have indeed made some permanent changes though I guess which is good. Time to just get on with things now though. Went for an easy short run this morning with a friend and the spaniels to try and ease the stiffness in my legs. Managed the run OK, but think my legs are now more stiff than before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
