The Vital Stats - Almost Halfway

So to get you up to date with where I am at the moment and show you the (slow) progress I have made, see the newer statistics below.

Midway Weight:

15 stone 4.5 pounds/97.3 kilos
Loss of 36lbs/16.3 kilos

Midway Measurements:

Bust - 38 - A loss of 4 inches! I can buy nice bras at last! (My boobs have shrunk though :( )
Waist - 36 - Loss of 4 inches!
Hips - 45 - Loss of 5 inches!
A total loss of 13 inches



Midway BMI:
34.5
Loss of 6 BMI points


Height:
5ft 6inches - no change surprise surprise!


Midway Shape:
Getting to the hourglass - definitely have a more defined waist, but it does make me feel like my hips are enormous... My legs have more shape too, thanks to the running I think.

My next few posts will tell you what I have been eating, what exercise I have been encouraged (dragged) into by my boyfriend and some of my favourite recipes.

I had bad posture, and did exercise very rarely. I used to smoke, but it had been over a year since stopping, so the majority of the effects were no longer in my system.
I decided that I wouldn't get to where I wanted to be by myself so looked online at the different weight loss programmes. I felt Weight Watchers was quite limiting when I compared it to the Slimming World diet, so enrolled at SW.
When I joined Slimming World was still Green and Original plans, Extra Easy had not been introduced yet. I now follow the Extra Easy plan (blending the two plans together, cutting down on bread, cereal, milk and cheese).
I have enjoyed doing the Slimming World plan (most of the time) - I like the fact that you don't have to weigh your carbs or meat, and you can still have a little bit of luxury every day.
Any Slimming Worlders out there?
