Ladies...... this is what happens when you run...

[MadameTruffe]

I took some vital statistics shortly after starting C25k with a view to seeing if they changed any. Someone close to me noticed I had less bum, so today, 4 months on, I re-took those vital statistics. Arms/bust/thighs are the same measurement. However I have lost 1 inch from my hips, and 2 inches from my waist (around tummy button as I never knew where my waist was - it disappeared some time ago.) I don't have scales, but think I'm around the same weight, maybe lost a few pounds. I have today bought a pair of size 12 chinos! I can't remember when I was last size 12! I should add that I always ate pretty sensibly, and have only cut out a biscuit at luch time, and maybe one in the evening. It is all down to running!!!!!!

MAdame Truffe - get youuuuuu! Well done. It's hard cutting things out - especially this time of year. My lady wife made some custard tarts the other day and they are deeeeeeeelicious!! Bad for everything else though. Luckily there's only 4 left, so after they're gone THAT'S it!

Merry Xmas to you and Mr Trufffe.

What no mince pies danzargo? Probably won't re-visit those stats for a while! By the way - no better way of getting the fellas to notice something than by calling it to the attention of the ladies! Happy Xmas to you and the wonderful custard pie maker.

That's great! I've also noticed changes in my body shape since starting running and even have a waist starting to emerge - haven't done measurements but I've gone down a couple of belt-holes .....
