72kgs

So that's a loss of 5 - 6kg in about 3.5 weeks. I am not unhappy with this but I'm not overly pleased. I'm really excited that I've lost 5 - 6kg and I feel it is somewhat noticeable and I am back to being more confident! But I wish it was going faster However, weight loss above 2kg a week is considered physically "unsustainable" in that your body will freak out and you will put the weight back on and/or find it much more difficult to lose weight in the future.

But I'm still 72kgs. And that's just gross. Gross. Gross. Gross. My BMI is 27.1. (Although thank god I don't look it!) I am a reasonably strong person - I can bench press 58kg free weights (just once or twice though), so I know a lot of my weight will be muscle - which unfortunately is denser/heavier than fat. Although that does mean I can be 72kg and have a lot of good guys being interested in me and be able to wear size 8 - 12 clothes, depending on the brand. 

I was looking down at my thighs when I was sitting down and got really annoyed. I have this distinct muscle and then to either side this flab of fat. It's like I can see my skinny legs trying to come through and then I have this flab weighing me down! I need to get back into running or pilates. Or just more yoga - I have not been keeping it up for months! 

Cinnamon - I went in to a yoga school the other day and asked if I could help out there and in return attend the classes for free (sort of like an apprentice teacher)... so let's see how I go :D. 

A.S. - mm I've been having some difficulty sleeping too. It's adjusted by now though and I am still so impressed with how pretty much absent my appetite is! 

Zette - Yes I love love love my tea. Russian Caravan, a cube of sugar (25 cal) + skim milk + a good book on a rainy night = Kat in heaven. I drink a lot of green tea, herbal tea though - and that's all plain without milk or sugar or anything. 

Roana - I ended up eating a fatty meal with a coffee then purging... the fruit would have been a good idea! I could have just said I had already brought my lunch in and then eaten fruit there. Damnit. Well that's a great suggestion for next time! 

Eva - thanks for the lovely comment! And I completely agree with you - once we're at our goal weights, then we can sort out everything else.

26 more kilos to go girlies! 15% of the way through.




Actually you know what? Scrap that. I am kinda pleased. I am getting there and I will continue to get there - 15%!

  5. Great job with the weight loss! It's weird how some people look really fit/skinny but their weight is still the same or even higher, but I guess that's from all the muscle mass. It bugs me so much when I see a girl who's the same height as me, who's fatter than me, but she weighs like 20 pounds less. Either she's lying or the muscle/fat ratio is way different.

    I want to have thin, slender thighs too! Sometimes I can see a tiny bit of muscle but then when I sit down, my thighs become huge T.T Yoga and pilates sound like so much fun! They're low-impact and great for strength and flexibility =)
