WW anniversary day and a new look. Not a great pic but you get the general idea. The new "do" and prada sunnies are my anniversary pressie....yay....Its been a great year for me and I am pretty pleased with my achievements to date. Oh and here is a yukky one of me 3 yrs ago holding my newborn neice. Time to evaluate my progress for the 12 months. I did not take my measurements at the very beginning but these are from about a month or so in.

Weight - I was 149.4kg and now I am 114.7kg. Loss 34.7kg

Chest - The girls were 142.5cm and now they are 123cm. Loss 19.5cm

Waist - I was 131.5cm and now I am 114cm. Loss 17.5cm

Hip - I was 150cm and now I am 135cm. Loss 15cm

Thigh - I was 84cm and now I am 70cm. Thats 16cm from each thigh or 32cm.

Arm - The faldoobadahs were 49cm and now they are 42cm. Thats 14cm for the pair of them.

Neck - I was 44cm around the neck and now i am 38cm. Thats a 6cm loss.

So in 12 months I have lost 23.2% of my bodyweight and 104cm from around my body which is 14.2% of the original measurements. Being an accountant I like to look at figures from all directions. My weekly loss has averaged 0.67kg per week. At this rate I have 70 weeks to go using my current goal weight. I do think that 68kg is too light for me and i would be happy with 73kg. Anyway I will be close by this time next year.

Happy 2007 to all of us.

I take a bad photo...it runs in my family. I try to smile and end up looking like I am consitipated. My sister took this on Saturday and it is not too bad so I thought I would stick it on my blog. I havent any other recent pics as every time I try to take some they look like crap. This is for all those who keep telling me to put on a recent pic.

These WW Sydney lunches are so much fun. We had a lot of laughs at the Stamford but probably ate a bit much. I was going well until the dessert bit and instead of just having the fruit i had a couple of small bits of rocky road slice and some jelly beans.

Friday night was a trial at the Council dinner. I only ate the seafood which was totally virtuous and then i was given a 500g box of Cadbury Roses chocolates. SHOCK AND HORROR - how does anyone who knows a person is on WW rationalise a "thank you" gift like that!!!

They were like hot potatoes and try as i might I could not find a home for them at the dinner. On the way home I had a brainwave and took them to Heather's place so she could get rid of them for me. What great friends I have!! In retrospect i should have just chucked them in the bin but i was taught never to waste food and still have issues with this. I have become very good at quantities and now only cook one serve instead of having leftovers in the fridge to pick at. Everything in my freezer is in one serve packs. I may have been strong enough to have those chocolates in my house and take them on Christmas day to the family lunch but it wasnt worth the risk.

I only lost 0.1kg this week as i have TTOM next week but my measurements are as follows:

Boobs 126cm (new bra seems to have made them bigger!!!)
Waist 116cm
Hips 134cm
Thighs 69cm
Arm 42.5cm
Neck 37cm

Oh well a couple of cm from each thigh is not bad....I cant believe what a differerence my new bra has made!
