As I said earlier, keeping track of my weight has nothing to do with a specific number on the scales. Although, I will come clean and say that I do weigh myself twice a month to check I’m within my ratio.
If I see that I’m moving towards either the higher or lower numbers, I will adjust the intensity of my workouts for the next week. But this rarely happens.
What I really use to track myself is how I feel in my clothes.
I used to have two sets of clothes. My ‘skinny’ clothes (before I put on the weight) and my ‘fat’ clothes, (which I lived in for far to many years). I’m glad to say that all my fat clothes were given to charity over a year ago, and I have never had to wear another pair of jean’s without being able to do up the top button!
Of course there are other changes to my diet and way of eating that has also helped to maintain my current ratio – which I will be writing about in future blogs. But in general, I continue to eat what I want including most of the things I used to eat before I started losing weight!
The main thing that’s changed is the level of investment I now put into my health and the commitment I made to make moving my body a lifestyle – not a quick fix.

I’ve tried and tried and tried again to lose weight (especially around my mid section) and I’ve only gotten to maybe 7lbs down. My workout routines has at times been taking classes at the gym that left me sore for 3 days after! It’s very disheartening when you’re working out so hard and not seeing much results. I’ve told myself that this is my mature weight and I just gotta live with it! But I know deep down I can’t continue to live with a stomach that I can hug when I lay down to sleep! 😩
I’m very inspired by your workout routine though because it doesn’t require me to spend an hour working out to achieve results. I know our bodies are different but they results are going down the same path and I love it!!
Thanks for sharing your experience and please continue to “put it out there” as you are very inspiring!

So glad you were inspired @stacyann. The best way to start anything is to make it easy for yourself to take action!
Small consistent steps are much more effective than big actions once in a while.
Keep up the good work and keep pushing forward. can’t wait to get an update of your progress in the future.
