Starting weight - 132.3 kg
Today's weight - 97.1 kg
Total loss = 35.2 kg
I haven't lost much weight but that's ok. I have been feeling really happy this week, taking some time for me. I took a step class on Monday, something I used to do all the time, and wowser did my calves feel it all week. It was great! My exercise for the week now is one step class, one body pump class, swimming once or twice, one or two days on machines (walking, jogging,cycling, x trainer), one or two days weight training (usually the days I use machines), yoga/pilates at home and if I feel like it I put in an aerobics dvd at home.
I have decided now that there's 3 months left of my challenge to post monthly on the first of each month, not weekly anymore. The monthly posts will include my photos, measurements, current weight and a small sum up of the month.
I feel that now everything is slowing right down that weekly weigh ins don't really show much. I will keep weighing of course but will just post monthly.
I hope you all keep reading! 1st of September is just 2 days away so check in then!

Week 25 Weigh in
Starting weight - 132.3 kg
Today's weight - 99.7 kg
Total loss = 32.6 kg
I went shopping twice this week and bought myself a little happiness. New handbag and various clothes. I had forgotten how nice it feels to be able to walk into stores and try on clothes that fit and look nice - instead of just looking from the window thinking 'nothing's going to fit me in there'. There's still more that I'd like to buy as my closet is still pretty bare after getting rid of all my big clothes, but am hoping to come down at least one more size before I buy too much more. 16 tops and 18 pants is fantastic, but a bit smaller to look less bumpy and bulgy would be so wonderful.
Nothing much to add about it all. 15 weeks to go to reach or exceed goal.

Week 24 Weigh in
Starting weight - 132.3 kg
Today's weight - 101 kg to 106 kg
Total loss = not sure??
Ok, I know I have been having some food control issues this week, temptation has been my enemy. However, even temptation shouldn't put on this much weight.
I have weighed myself 6 times this morning each one in disbelief. None of the readings were repeated and each one was more then I was expecting.
Whether my scales are broken or my stance is off... I honestly am not sure what I weigh today.
I have my 6 month dietician appointment in a few weeks time where my blood work and meal plans will be analysed and modified to better fit me. I'm hoping that some of this weight gain can be pinpointed to certain behaviours that I can fix and get back on track.
Until then, it's just me. I am still going to the gym, went 3 times this week. Plan was to go more but I worked too hard in pump class at the beginning of the week and my legs have not yet forgiven me so I took it easy on machines the rest of the week.
Going back to basics with food... water water water, protein, lots of brothy soups... trying to change the scales on my own first.
I've kicked my sad slump and now need to kick my own butt. Will see how it goes!

Week 23 Weigh In
Starting weight - 132.3 kg
Today's weight - 96.4 kg
Total loss = 35.9 kg
So a generally lazy week... been unexplainably tired and upset. I haven't been exercising or watching what I eat and the result is a gain. Something very true and disturbing about how much negative thoughts and genuine depression can bring you down and put such a weight of sadness on you. Disappointing result but it was expected. This amazing tool I have only works if I exercise and eat properly.
Back to the gym this week. Seems unless I'm paying for it, I'm not motivated enough to work out on my own regularly. Hopefully I snap out of it and get back on track this week.

Week 22 Weigh in
Starting weight - 132.3 kg
Today's weight - 93.1 kg
Total loss = 39.2 kg
Wow how exciting! Just 800 g shy of my 40 kilo goal!
I have noticed the last few weeks that the restriction my stomach gives when I eat is happening faster. So I get full quicker then I have been getting used to. It is probaby a result of when I was sick and didn't eat much but I am noticing that I am eating less. For example I had gotten used to being able to have 1 to 1.5 slices of toast cut into soldiers to dunk into a soft boiled egg once every week or two. Now I can't finish even one piece of toast and only have half the egg. I couldn't finish my salad yesterday or my meat and veg portion. I just feel full and want to stop eating.
I also haven't been snacking either except once every day or two on cheese and jatz. Just haven't wanted to.
Not that I'm complaining at all! The scale going down is making me really happy.
Hopefully won't be too long til I pass that 40 kg mark! What an achievement that will be!

Five months - Measurements and Photos
Five months since the beginning of my '40 Kilos in 40 Weeks' challenge.
The measurements this month are as follows:
I have lost mostly from my waist and hips this month (yay!!) with a total loss of 24.5 cm since last month and a whopping 136 cm combined loss over the whole 5 months.
Here are the photos for this month.

Don't forget to click on the 'Photos' tab above to see the comparison through the whole challenge.
I can't see much of a difference this month but maybe it's just me?? I do know that the green top I'm wearing in these photos used to be SUPER tight and look horrible. I would only ever wear it as an under top, never on its own. So that tells me things have changed.

I did weigh myself this morning but the official weigh in is not until tomorrow - if you're curious it was 95.0 kg this morning... see what tomorrow brings!
Thanks for reading!!
