Week 6 weight – 95.9 kg

Initial weight – 96.2 kg

Not a massive loss since my last weigh in two weeks ago. In fact, not a loss at all, given I’ve gained a teensy bit more than two weeks ago. I figured that after my post on Friday on weight and BMI and how inaccurate it can be as a scale of fatness, I should take all those measurements that I did back at the beginning to what else is happening, as realistically, the changes I’m noticing in my bra and muscles should be showing up somewhere, if not on the scales.

The hardest part was measuring my arms, because I’d sort of forgotten which freckle I had measured at first time around. Hopefully I got it right, If not, no big deal. Numbers in brackets are the original figures.

Bust – 113 cm  (117)
Waist – 110 cm at navel  (113)
Hips – 128 cm  (128)
L thigh – 76 cm  (74)
R thigh – 77 cm  (77)
L calf – 38 cm  (41)
R calf – 38 cm  (42)
L arm – 36 cm  (37)
R arm – 35 cm  (36)

This is an interesting change. My waist, bust and calves (and my arms, if I managed to get the right place) have slimmed down, my hips and right thigh stayed the same and my left thigh bulked up. I’m guessing that the increase in my thigh is related to the seated leg press, which is probably my favourite weight based thing, followed by the biceps curl.

The thing that doesn’t seem to be changing is my belly. I’m a little worried that even with the abs work and all the rest, I’m going to end up with slender arms and legs and boobs and still have my saggy, baggy, elephant belly   I haven’t even managed to get pregnant yet and I’ve got the sag of someone who just gave birth
