    I am officially not weighing myself until the end of the year, this is driving me mad!

    I've been having long, frequent periods lately but last time I had a period I still lost weight so I don't know if that has anything to do with it? I really don't drink enough water so I'll definately start first thing tomorrow.

    As for my body getting used to what I'm doing . . . ARRRRGH!! I just went through the biggest antics changing around my exercize! How could my body be used to it already? And why would I hit TWO plateaus with less than 2kg between them?! It doesn't make sense though it might be true Though I did ask my mum if I look lost weight in the last few weeks and she said yes, even though I haven't actually lost weight. It's all so confusing!

    I am convinced that i've still lost fat despite not losing weight, Lucy, because I can now fit into knickers I deliberately bought a size too small! AND I am that much closer to pre-preg pants. I'm like 3kg away from them, despite the fact that when I wore them I weighed 10kgs less than I do now, wtf? lol. There's only one explanation - muscle! Aparently even just walking can build muscle because the biggest muscles in your body are your legs. Which means thaaat . . . introducing the weights to my walking could've increased my muscle gained which would explain the lack of weight loss! That would make sense, yeah?

    Thanks so much for your replies, ladies! I'll definately take all of those suggestions on board. No more scales for the next . . . I don't know, at LEAST a month!!

    Lucy, WOW you've lost so much weight! How did you do it and how long did it take you? (If that's not too personal to ask)
