As req for Lardy - hope this is in time matey! I posted some update stats for the 17 may, so Im not going to measure myself again as i usually do that every two weeks and so its a bit soon... have put a weight update though which has reduced slightly - otherwise pls. draw from stats below.. Ive translated them into those funny imperial measurements you lot seem hung up on.. ;-)

11 Apr
Weight - 62.5 KG (137.5lbs)
Height - 153cm (5ft and a fag paper..)
Wrist - 14.5cm (5.7")
Chest/Back - 95.5cm (37.6")
Waist - 75.5cm (29.72")
Hips - 93cm (36.61")
Thigh - 59cm (23.22")
Calf - 35.5cm (13.97")

Wrist - same
Chest - 92cm (36.2") - 1.4"
Waist - 74cm (29.13") - 0.59"
Hips - 90cm (35.43") - 1.18"
Thigh - 58cm(22.83") - 0.39"
Calf - 35cm (13.77") - 0.2"

24 May
Weight - 60.9KG (134 lbs) - 3.5 lbs since 11 April

Next official stats day is 31st.

Update summary:
Had a couple of setbacks this week with back problems, physio thinks ive irritated a disc, but overall going in the right direction! Getting near to being sub-60KG which in my mind puts me on the home straight.. Been getting some great comments from work colleagues (finally!) and really pleased with how Im starting to look... definately a visible improvement!! Also - somewhat unrelated, but I did my longest continuous run since my knee op' in December with a 13 min run yesterday... very sore but very happy today! :-D Im sure some lunges at the gym will make it feel better..

Cheers Lardy... just been really busy! Im starting a new role at my company soon, so for now Im doing two jobs... last week was just a bit mental!!

So I wont post up my exact workouts from the last week - general summary is that I managed a normal week without interruptions to the workout schedule which was good, and Ive noticed my clothes are fitting WAY better than they have for ages - e.g. a pair of jeans I normally dread washing because they become too tight now don't fit me even straight out of a hot wash! So Im feeling good... and pushing on!

Upper body workout this morning to finish the workout week off - then I have 2 rest days, back at it on Friday with lower body..

Upper Body workout:

SS - superset/exercise/weight/reps (difference)

SS-Dips/20/12 (-5 assistance)
SS-Chinup/20/12 (-5 assistance)
SS2-Dips/15/8(-5 assistance, -2 reps)
SS2-Chinup/15/8(-5 assistance, -2 reps)
SS3-Dips/15/7 (same)
SS3-Chinup/15/6 (same)
Machine Chest Press/25/11(+1 rep)
SS-Machine Chest Press/25/8(same)
SS-Dbell Flye/8/11 (+1 rep)
Bbell Bent Over Row/25/11 (+1 rep)
SS-Bbell Bent Over Row/30/8 (+5KG, -2 reps)
SS-Cable Seated Row/17.5/10 (same)
SS2-Dbell rear lateral raise/6/6 (+2KG, -2 reps)
SS2-Dbell Front Raise/6/8 (same)
Machine shoulder press/15/8 (same)

The above shows the changes from my last workout - which I didn't post on here, so there have been bigger gains since my last update here - really pleased with todays workout - definitely feeling it now!!

Cheers all!

I work at Amazon - in short i work with other retail businesses to help them sell their products on Amazon - ill soon be responsible for that side of the business in our Shoes category (the envy of most women I know!) and looking forward to it - but it is taking up much more of my time than usual - and my hours will be longer, but ill still be able to make my morning gym schedule which is the main thing!
