One stone one month :-)

Hi PinkG,

Doing some great progress there, and hope you can keep working it down to your goal weight. You're also not the only one to hit a plateau with weight loss, it won't be a constantly flat line heading downwards on the chart, as long as it doesn't go up I still like to think of it as progress when I look at mine!

Thanks for all your comments.

I'm gonna get lean and stay lean. No two ways about it. I'm a born again low carber lol!

Still aiming for just under 12st and will set that as my Gandalf bridge of doom weight.

I'm hoping I will be getting close by Christmas.

Drinking water like there is no tomorrow and resistance training every day.

Hit my 2 stone lossed at the weekend, so 28lb in 2.5 months to make me 189lb. Waist round belly button down 3 inches, so hopefully some viceral fat loss (which is my main reason for the diet). Not had a drop of alchohol.

Loss seems to be more noticeable now as bones long buried reveal themselves ribs, collar bones). This is giving me a boost, as I am probably my biggest critique, and demand to see results to get positive reinforcement of my efforts! I'm now wearing 16.5" shirts (from 17.5"), and fitted ones too which is nice. Had to bin my old shirts they were like spinacers! I'm wearing 36-38" trousers depending on make, and on my last belt hole - so new belt needed soon. I suppose needing new smaller clothes is good, but expensive. thank god for tesco!

Excellent progress...you must be bloomin' delighted.
Get yourself on Ebay mate. I have a wardrobe stuffed full of other people's cast offs. You can then sell the stuff again when it's too big and replace it with smaller sizes.

Great progress.
I sold all my old size 22/24 (and some 26) clothes at a boot sale. They went like hot cakes!

Fabulous! Well done on all your efforts! 🙂

You're going great guns Pinky. Keep up the good work.

There's one more thing you can do to rev up your fat burning and that's Intermittent Fasting...which isn't as difficult as it sounds. I 'fast' between my evening meal and breakfast the following morning. I try to make this period as long as I can be eating relatively early in the evening and having my breakfast just before I leave for work. I don't do it every day because I have a life. However, if I'm not doing anything in the evening I use that as opportunity to do a fast. Sometimes I can do 4 or 5 in a week and sometimes less. This presentation explains how it works. It's an easy watch because Dr Fung is really good at
getting his message across. It clarifies so many things...

...and best of all, it works. It also explains why I've spent years and years losing and then regaining weight...which is the last thing I want to happen after all the effort I've put in.

Hope you find this helpful. 🙂

Hi Marsbartoastie...just watched that...fascinating...and I understood it...going to give it a try...Thank you.

 

[PinkGrapefruit]

I very rarely have anything after dinner these days so I fast for at least 10 hours between dinner and breakfast every day.

Glad you found it helpful Bubbsie. Dr Fung really knows how to get his message across. The presentation clarified a number of things for me and I'm extremely grateful to Bilbie who first sent me the link.

If you're interested I can hook you up with two further presentations which I've found invaluable.

That's the way to go PG. IT drains the system of other available fuel sources and forces the body to burn fat. Having discovered how effective it is I'm a little bit in love with IT...and as Dr Fung says...it's simple.

Absolutely MB...I enjoyed listening...worried when I saw it was over thirty minutes long...however...it went so quickly...his style is easy to listen to...yes please if you have more...send them on...thank you.

I'm pleased, but I wouldn't say delighted. I'm still mid way along the deathstar run, trying not to be cocky, and staying on target. I am a huge self critic, and know that a) I have to get down nice and trim, b) it has to stay that way. I am a paleo in my man cave lol!

I would like an electric blue suit, so will have a look on eBay to see what I can find.

The good news is that the volume of a sphere dictates that 1 stone of fat on a large sphere only forms a thin layer. However, 1 stone on a smaller sphere represents a much thicker layer. The smaller you are...the greater the inch loss for the same weigh loss. Hurrah!

Ha that sounds like a sheldon cooper line. Boy I hope that is the case. Seemed to take a while to lose the first inch round the waist but now seems to be picking up a bit in that particular area. I'm a bit loose and soft in places, but hopefully that will improve given time.

I could do the maths for you...or you could just take my word for it and watch those inches melt away.

When I lost my weight (7 stone in total) by oh kept on comparing my behind to a Shar Pei dog!

There are worse things he could say to me. He also offered to sort out the saggy bits with his staple gun!!! But he loves me wobbly bits included.
