Feb to March Progress Pics

Those of you who follow me on WI and MFP will know that it is been a struggle for me this month. Not because I've fallen off the wagon, far from it, but because the scales don't seem to be moving down as fast as I would like them. It has started to become so disheartening that I'm putting in all this hard work both in food and exercise and I'm not getting the results I like/deserve.

I have been concentrating on my splits and trying to aim for around 30% protein. Its definitely helping on the DOMS as I'm not half as sore as I used to be prior to not taking as much protein.

Also exercise has still been pretty full on with exercising upto 7 times in a week and some days twice a day with cardio and strength training. The training with hubby is going well and I'm getting stronger. Squats started at a measley 3kgs in each hand and now I'm on the squat rack squatting 35kg. I am a long way off my 60kg that I was squatting a few years back but I'll get there again.

So here goes another month down and some more progress pics with side by side comparison from last month. (left Feb and right March)












Stats are: Weight 11stone 7.4lbs (-3lbs), Wasit 32.5 (-0.5), Hips 40(-0.5), Thighs 21(-0.25), Calf 14.5 (-0.5), Arms 12.5 (-0.25), Full Bust 37.5(-0.5), Under Bust 31 (-1)

So a loss of 3lbs and 3.5 inches which now looking at it is not bad for 4 weeks work. I can see a slight difference in the pics as well.

I must keep plodding along and hopefully next month I'll have the same progress if not better.

PS - excuse the mess of my bedroom and my state of me, I litterally fell out of bed and put on my "photo" underwear and took pics

    Han, you can definately see a difference between the photos, especially the top one, even if the scales aren't moving as much as you would like all your hard work isn't going to waste. x

    Thanks Amy, i don't feel so disheartened now after seeing the pics (especially the first set) as I can also see a difference. I'm so pleased that I've kept up the photo diary or otherwise I would have given up by now.

    I wouldn't let you give up, you work so hard the results were always going to clear to see. Really looking forward to the pictures for March now!
