So just got home from my first day back at work and have to say I’ve got a very silly grin on my face. I’ve lost count of how many of my colleagues asked me today if I’d lost weight. Now I haven’t actively been trying to diet, in fact my eating habits during furlough were quite the opposite, cakes and sweets galore 😳😂. So any change has simply been down to the running. I had noticed some change in my body shape, but not significant enough that others would notice, feeling quite chuffed to say the least ☺️

Fantastic!!! I must admit to feeling slightly chuffed with myself when I hear people saying how much weight they've put on over lockdown 😁 keep smiling, what you've done is amazing!

That’s brilliant 😀 I definitely think I’ve toned up with the running- I wish I’d done measurements at beginning- but I know it’s true because I dug out an old pair of summer trousers that were too tight last year and this year they are fine!😜

Fantastic!

My body shape is changing and my trousers are definitely looser but weirdly I don't seem to have lost any weight. Fat loss and muscle gain?... 🤔

I probably haven’t tbh, I’ve not gone anywhere near a set of scales of fear of them running away from me 😂
