I took a deep gulp, a very deep gulp and re-enacted the same shots. It was a hideous experience and writing this post I feel quite queasy and for once it is nothing to do with drink. I am 5 foot 6 inches, I weigh 62kilos and am a size 10 (top end everything is very tight). I also took my measurements but I won't bore you with them.
I do feel that baring all is a big step forward and it made me face the fact that the weight has been creeping on and I've really not tackled it. One could argue that as I'm fairly slim I shouldn't worry but all the evidence suggests I should. I need to get down to 58kilos which will make me middle end of my weight range, I'm currently top end. The more weight you carry the harder work it is for your body. The excess weight would tend to indicate fatty deposits around liver, heart etc.
My bra and knickers are a lovely combo which should look far more flattering than they do, due to my current weight and therefore shape. I give you Rachel first (she's more toned & honed but needs to drop a dress size) then me. No laughing ...okay and don't look if you've just had breakfast!!
Glad that is over, I hope to show you an improved side view in a few months after a sometime invested in the Make Do diet!
You look great but I totally understand your motivation. Too many seemingly healthy people around me are falling ill so I too am trying to drop some weight and improve my health. Good luck x
ReplyDeleteHi my dear-well done on the post and very best of luck!! xx
ReplyDeletemy you two are brave! Braver than me! x
ReplyDeleteI admire your bravery for having the courage to first take photos and then share. Good for you. Much good luck on your endeavours!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a similar situation myself as I've been too ill to exercise this winter and have been comfort eating. So trying to gently add in some exercise and avoid copious food now. So let's hope we keep motivated and get healthy :)

Very brave of you Kate, I don't think I could show anyone my flubby wubby tum. You do have a lovely arse though, mine has about dropped to the back of my knee caps xx
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a perfect hourglass curve to your waist and hips in that first photo!! Envy. Great boobs and bum. You're very brave posting these, fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteYou've got the perfect hourglass figure! Good luck with the plan. xxx
ReplyDeleteI think you both look great, but I know what you mean - doesn't matter whether you guys look GREAT to me, it's how your feel about yourselves, and how your bodies have changed.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!!!! (((hug))))

Wow, I think you're really brave (and are wearing fab underwear!). Good luck with the diet, I will be looking to your blogs for diet tips. xx

You both look fab!!! I sooo need to get it together and will be following closely ;0)
ReplyDeleteYou are both an inspiration. Have read the diet tips and it is totally do-able. I'm impressed that it is based on common sense and true grit!
ReplyDeleteHoney - you look gorgeous! As does your friend. You have nothing to lose - seriously. Drink a glass of wine and feel good about yourself!
ReplyDeleteYou both look utterly wonderful to me. You might say that Rachel needs to drop a dress size but I can't quite agree - she might want to, but she doesn't need to. And I honestly don't think you need to lose anything either.
ReplyDeleteBut then just to totally contradict myself, I know full well that's it's not about what other people say to you, it's about what you feel yourself. So best of luck with your fitness kick. I'm most impressed with your bravery with the underwear photos.
Go ladies!!! Much respect to you for being so brave!!! I am in the same boat, Im at an OK weight but need to get rid of that awkward half stone that is the hardest to shift - especially when you cant work out :-( I will be doing this along with you but I am not brave enough to photo it LOL xx
ReplyDeleteYou both look lovely - and are very brave, getting your kit off like that!
ReplyDeleteI also agree that you're very brave!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great for me, but I wish you good luck.
And a fantastic weekend
xoxo
I am so inspired by you! Good for you! I would like to shed some post baby weight too. I am 100% inspired. I think you look good as is, but I admire your commitment to healthy it up xxx
ReplyDeleteI've been working on toning up too!
ReplyDeleteWhat great asses! Thank you so much for your lovely supportive comment on my blog, I really appreciate it! Love Annie x
ReplyDeleteYou two ought to think your self lucky you both have figures to die for! No bikini worries for either of you!
ReplyDeleteGood on you both! You look great but I understand because I don't have much to lose but plenty to tone up.
ReplyDeleteIt's not stopped raining all morning and it's not inspiring me to doing any exercise. I might have to actually switch on my Wii Fit! I'm actually frightened of it and I know the personal trainer is going to have a right go at me. Hope you had a lovely weekend xx
