These are my starting measurements as of this time, taken on my kitchen floor (flatter) with the new scales.

11.7 and three quarters stone
30.6% body fat ratio
36.5" bust (don't want to shrink that really...)
31" waist
43" hips

Perhaps a few more visits to really expensive restaurants will help... Sorry about that last night - hadn't realised it was quite so pricey.

On an inquisitive note, how do you measure your body fat ratio? Is it something you can do in the privacy of your own home (preferably involving no cutting or bleeding) or does it have to be done by a doctor?

It's really rather simple. We have special scales where you get on in bare feet and then it passes a small current through your body. Because fat is less conductive than water and muscle, the harder it is to get the current through, the fatter you are. Something like that anyway - it's pretty cool, and you can do it reasonably easily. The scales are kind of complicated though!

Hmmmm. I think "electrifying my feet" probably comes under the same heading as "cutting and bleeding." Perhaps I'm better off not knowing...
