The BellyBelly Body Transformation Challenge, Week 5!

[Hoody]

Amysarah- Dont be so hard on yourself hun. Maybe you dont actually need to lose alot iykwim (from memory we were similar weights). You may be tall you may naturally have a bigger build etc. If you are eating well and exercising you should be proud of yourself no matter what. Just think of the health benefits of what you are doing rather than the No. on the scales. Hey maybe you are turning all your fat into muscle. For me i am losing weight and CM's but i havent toned a lot as my exercise has really dwindled since DH has been home.

I have lost another KG this week making it a 5.3kg loss in the 5wks i am very proud of myself and am starting to see the difference. They say 6kg is a dress size and my clothes are all getting on the bigger side which is great but not when i dont have the money for a new wardrobe iykwim.

Hang in there every one who is disappointed in there weigh ins. Last week i showed a 100g loss this week 1kg. Our bodies change so much hormonally that sometimes wk by wk can make it really hard to tell whats going on. Like i said to Amy if you are doing the right things you should be proud of yourself no matter what.

I am proud of you all

I am actually quite short (164cm) and I have a tiny frame. Even though I am 71.2 (which for some is their idea weight) on my tiny frame it means I have to try and squeeze into a size 14 pair of jeans. Before I stacked on this weight I was a size 10 and very healthy (in terms of BMI) so that is what I'm aiming for.

Oh ok hun i didnt mean to offend you in anyway just wanted to try and cheer you up a little. You are doing so well and putting in 110%. Do you mind me asking you your goal weight? I am similar height and started off at 74.2kg. I am now down to 68.9kg and my goal was to get to 64kg. I am still wearing my size 14's (and the odd bigger size12) though i am prob closer to a 12 now but i dont want to squeeze into a smaller size and then look bigger because of the bulging love handles etc. Wish i lived closer to you so i could tag along on your walks and exercise.

Oh I wasn't offended Hoody!!! Just clarifying!! LOL

My goal weight is 60kgs. It sounds like we are very similar - we'll see if I can work my butt off to catch up to you as my starting weight was 74kg too!

We can do it together in spirit - you don't have very long to go at all!!!

Hi girls just popping in really quickly as I started back teaching today and I am EXHAUSTED. I am not submitting weight/ measure this week as AF started today and I am bloated and heavier and just feel generally gross.
I am getting really frustrated because even though I have lost heaps of cm's my weight is only fluctuating 2 kgs up and down (ie loose 2 gain 2, loose 2 gain 2) and it has been doing this for an entire 12 months now. It was great when I wasnt watching what I was eating and not doing any regular excercise because I wasnt gaining anything, but now I am putting in a HUGE amount of effort in watching what I eat as well as doing lots of excercise and still no change. I am going to make an appoinment with my GP and see if she can give me some tips to get my metabolism going- I am so determined to do it this year, so I am not going to let this get me down- just going to keep seeking out help untill I find something that works.

After not losing any last week I've lost 500g this week so in total I've lost 2.1kgs.

I've got a question does anyone know because I'm b/fing I've lost a certain amount of cm's on my bust and hips and haven't had a loss there for a few weeks. Do you think that it could be that my hips have to close a bit more from the birth and my boobs won't get smaller again until I stop b/fing?

Everyone is doing so well, please keep up the good work.... we are such a great support to one another.

hugs xoxo

Well I'd love to weigh in... but due to a basketball injury from Tuesday night I can no longer stand. I'm going to be on crutches for the foreseeable future. Which really sucks.

The only thing that's good about it all is that the pain medication that I'm on makes me nauseous, so I'm not eating much!

And I'm not game to take this knee out of the brace again... one palpitation by the surgeon and I was a mess! I have to go for an MRI in the next day or two (whenever I can get in) and go back to see the surgeon to see whether I've done my anterior cruciate ligament or just my patella and medial ligament... owwwww....

Good on you girls.. .keep it up!
