muscle tone is a funny thing
i could lose 15 stone (for the record i would actually be in negative figures if i did!) or gain 15 stone, my calves and lower arms would still be tiny and toned, regardless of whether the rest of me looked like kate moss or cake moss.

My legs are still fairly big, but they don't wobble as much.
Ditto arms.

Stomach, however, is no different.

Body Blitz was so much more bearable with 2 1.25kg weights.
Gonna step it up to 2 2.5kg ones next week. I think I was trying to do it with one of each on each end the first week and I pretty much paralysed myself for 3 days.

they are great for making you realise how much weight you've lost though
just pick it up and think, sheeeeeeet, that's a lot of blue cheese.

When I've lost 5 kilos I will tuck one of the orange ones into my pants, walk around all day
and then feel relieved.

God knows what I'll do when I reach my goal weight, maybe get a gypsy wedding dress that weighs 10 stone and wear it for a week so I can really appreciate being light on my feet.

I lost 50 kilos last year
and when I still feel fat, I pick up my 30ish kilo dog and try to walk from one room to another carrying him.

Certainly puts it into perspective. Try putting a bag of sugar in each pocket of your coat for a similar effect.

50kg?!
I'm impressed. Well done, I bet you feel amazing now.

I've got to lose around 50-60% of that, and I still find that daunting :/

sorry, I had a brain fart
I meant 50 lbs. Slightly less impressive I know...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 27 Jan 2011, 12:32, Reply)

It's still very impressive.
I hope I stick to this.

Thanks you two.

You know sometimes I'm a bit sad that I wasn't single when I discovered B3ta

You're not.
More trouble than it's fucking worth.

Yeah, you're probably right
Knowing I'm going to be guaranteed cuddles every day when I get home is much better than anonymous snogs outside pubs.

I'm definitely right.

But then some folk have found love on this site

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 27 Jan 2011, 13:17, Reply)

If I widen the parameters and say "meeting people off the internet in general"
I am DEFINITELY standing my ground, judging from my personal experience.

I've seen it work, especially on b3ta, but I've had nothing but bad experiences from it.

If we're talking sexyfuntiemz or potential boy/girlfriend
Then I've not seriously tried. Partly out of fear, if I'm honest, so you're better than me for giving it a go.

I met the boy that ended up fucking me over on and off for about 5 years online, so erm yeah, I might be biased.
