I am not a big fan of weighing myself regularly, as I have talked about previously. I don't want to get hung up on the numbers, so this year I am just weighing myself on the 1st of every month as a way to track my progress.
So today is the 1st of February and I desperately wanted to see a lower number on the scale and get far away from the hideous number I saw at the start of the year. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised with the number I saw today.
January 5th: 125.4 kilos (275.8 lbs)
February 1st: 119.7 kilos (263.3 lbs)
= 5.4 kilo loss (11.8 lbs)
It sounds like a big loss, and it is, but my clothes aren't really feeling any different yet and I look in the mirror and feel like I look the same. It will take time to feel like myself again, I sat at about 100 kilos for a while and anything above that feels unnatural.
I am sure this weight loss will slow down in the next month, but I will be happy to end every month with a loss, no matter how small it is.

ReplyDeleteThat's all you need :)
I understand it isn't where you wish you were right now, but you'll get back there. Enjoy the moment! You took the healthy way, and look what you accomplished!
Congratulations :)
Well done Tully! And great idea about the only monthly weigh in, i too get a bit obsessed with those scales.
ReplyDeleteIt IS a good loss, considering recommendations from every health professional of a safe loss of half to one kilo, so very well done, you are going great!!!!
ReplyDeleteI meant half to one kilo a week !!! lol
ReplyDeleteTotally AWESOME loss girl!
ReplyDeleteI am with you - I don't feel different until I get near that 100kg mark either!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great loss and you'll probably feel a bit different once the weather changes :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tully! Keep it up! WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good, safe amount - a sustainable amount that you'll be able to maintain :-)

Hey Tully - you are definitely doing something right. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Awesome job! You are kicking my ass! :)
ReplyDeletewell done, well done, well done!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss!! Keep up the good work. It's smart to only weigh yourself once a month. I can't count how many times I have stepped on the scale and been in a bad mood for the rest of the day because I didn't like what I saw.
