The utterly genius Kimba came up with this idea and I think it's brilliant. We often spend so much time focusing in on what we still need to do, that we forget to reflect on what we've achieved already.
I've seen a couple of these now, some are happy, some feel they could have come further. But all of them show that we've made SOME progress and we all should be damned proud of that. No matter how much you lost, YOU LOST! And that's a damned sight more than what most people managed to achieve in the last year.
So, with that out of the way, let's get onto the numbers...
Weight
Total loss in 2004: 26.5kg (58.4lb)
Kg to goal: 9.1kg (20lb)
Size at start of 2004: AU 20-22 (US 22-24)
Size at end of 2004: AU 14 (US 16)
Average weekly loss: .6kg (1.3lb)
Biggest loss in 1 week: 1.9kg (4.1lb)
Smallest loss in 1 week: .1kg (.2lb)
Biggest gain in 1 week: 1kg (2.2lb)
Most consecutive losses: 15 weeks
Most consecutive gains: none
Total number of loss weeks: 39
Total number of gain weeks: 7
Centimeters lost
Centimeters lost in 2004: 131.5cm (51.7")
Neck: 4cm (1.5")
Upper Arm: 2cm each (.8")
Bust: 15.5cm (6.1")
Under Bust: 13cm (4.7")
Waist: 16cm (6.2")
Abdomen: 25cm (9.8")
Hips: 20cm (7.8")
Thigh: 11cm each (4.3")
Calf: 6cm each (2.3")
These are numbers I think I can be justifiably proud of. I've worked hard for this, steadily exercising and tracking, even on the days when I'm falling off the wagon abysmally.
I have learnt a lot about myself and my body in 2004 and this learning will stand me in good stead to get rid of the last 9.1kg (20lb) I need to lose in 2005.
I will get to goal and I will maintain that weight. It's going to happen. 2005 will be my year.
Yeah for your list too!!! :)
2004 was a great year for you.
2005 will be the year of your dreams
:)
cheers

congrats chicky! u have made huge 'gains' this year with your huge loss!! well done on your awesome effort! u r such an inspiration :)
Mate, that is staggering when you see it all in one place! You are so right to be proud of yourself for the "numbers", also the non-scale victories - huge self-discipline, learning so much about yourself. Well done and thanks for sharing all of your story with us :-)
you are amazing. I guess that I didn't realize that you had lost all that weight in one year. If I can do that as successfully as you this year, boy would I be a happy chappy! congrats!
Congrats on such a great success in 2004. I haven't kept up with my measurements and I wish I had.
Congratulations! Continue to kick butt and Happy New Year!
2005 Will be your year.
(Can I have a little bit of it though? I wanna get to goal too!).

Leather jacket for winter is snnneaking up and I am SO proud! But you knew that right?
Wow! What an accomplishment, more than the kilos is the experience and knowledge that you gained to finish the job and keep it off. I hope to be like you this year.
