The gym that I go to only weighs you every ten weeks so I am not sure on how much I have lost/put on or how my cms are going. I don’t weigh myself at home so I can only use my clothes as a guide. I have been concerned with a part of my body because it just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I know that when you lose weight or exercise your skin loses its elasticity and tightens so everything “moves up” but I wasn’t sure if I was just getting bigger or if it was the elasticity thing. I have a picture that will help me explain what I am talking about.
So the green line is my boobs, nice aren’t they? Lol.. Blue is my stomach ( I think) and purple is my stomach? What? I have no idea about human biology. Give me Business Stats or Marketing anyday. Anyway so the Blue bit has just started to be really prominent. I always knew that it was there but now it is just really there! I was asking my friends to look at me and tell me if they honestly think that I have actually put on weight and if that bit was bigger. They would tell me straight so I knew asking them I was onto a sure thing. Problem is that they said they couldn’t tell. I worked it out for myself though. The reason the blue part is so prominent now is because everything else is changing moving etc. The bits around it probably aren’t as big anymore so the blue bit is more exposed. My boobs have lifted a bit as well so the blue bit is able to "come out".
As I said I have no idea about human biology and all of this makes sense to me – my blue bit looks bigger and I think I know why… ha ha!

Shell,
just to help you with some basic body description - yes you got the green line right - boobs (and no doubt they're nice -but I'll take your word for that). The blue line roughly equates with the 'waist' and the purple line is close enough to the 'hips'. For most people their stomach actually lies higher than their waist and is partially tucked behind the left lobe of the liver which means it is just below the left side of the rib cage. Hopefully it's not your 'stomach' at either the blue line or the purple line but just part of your abdomen.
If it's your stomach you've got serious problems :-)
I'm surprised your gym doesn't allow more frequent feedback in terms of weight or cm measurements than every 10 weeks. Registered dieticians usually weigh their patients each visit which might be fortnightly or perhaps monthly. Ten weeks sounds a long time to wait to find out if suitable progress is being made.
Keep up the good work and I'm sure the coloured lines will move the way you want them to
Hi there Michelle and fellow Team Shell blog readers...
I think FGM is on the money and gives a very apt explanation. I also agree, you should be weighing and measuring a little more than you are (not every day, but maybe every 2 weeks or so). As FGM says keep up the good work both with the exercise and the blog. Oh, and btw you are certainly a very innovative cook. I have picked up quite a few fantastic receipes from yourself. Impressive!
ps I won my job!!
Great to hear from you Alison and congratulations !! :-)
