Hi Blogland, sorry for the delay in posting my update but I've not been very positive over the last week and didn't want to have a complete downer of a post. Basically over the last month I made pratically zero progress and my weight went up a massive 3.2lbs.
So let's cut to the chase and see this month's not so much progress pics.
Left is July and Right is August
Here are the stats:
Weight 10st 12.6lbs (+3.2lbs), Waist 30.5 (sts), Hips 38 (sts), Thighs 20.25 (sts), Arms 11.75 (sts), Calf 14.5 (sts), Under Bust 30.5 (-0.5), Full Bust 35.5 (-0.5)
So a gain of 3.2lbs but a loss of 1 inch over all. Looking at my pics thankfully you can't really see that much of a gain even tho I can definitely see more on the lovehandles!
I won't lie to you I was utterly gutted when I first stepped on the scales but once taking my measurements and my pics it wasn't all so bad. I then looked back at my stats and I was the same weight as the begining of June which depressed me as I felt like I've taken a step backwards. So I thought I'd do a comparison in photos to see if you could see a difference.

Hubby says that he can see a difference in my pics and I look a little firmer but I can't quite see it myself. I agree with him to a certain extent but I think he was trying to make me feel a bit better. It just goes to show that we shouldn't always rely on the scales and use the tapemeasure and pics to get a better overall picture. If it wasn't for doing this I would have been seriously depressed!
This week I've tweaked my diet and since my last weigh in I've lost a lovely 2.8lbs so almost my month's gain has gone in one week and I'm almost back to my lowest weight since having my daughter.
Hopefully next month's pics will be better!
