Week 1, Slow Going

Why is it so much harder when you get older to lose??!!

This is my first week, 1.5lb from last Friday - Monday, but was disappointed as I weighed myself today and nothing off. But on the plus side 2 inches off waist, so I suppose I mustn't fret about the scales.

I need to concentrate on my food diary.

Week 2 - I'm coming to get you

WAist reduction is excellent as it means you have reduced the visceral fat round your internal organs which is the fat which is unhealthy

Excellent news

Good going. 1.5 lb is a nice amount to lose.

Well done.

That's an excellent first week flos-mum but I'm sorry your second week wasn't as good 😕 It sounds as if it's working for you though with inch loss! 😊

That's a great result, safe and steady. Any faster than that and you'd be likely to regain it later. And inches lost especially on the waist is a wonderful result, for both your figure and your health
