Total weightloss is now at 49lb in 16 weeks. I was hoping it would be 50lb but it is 3 1/2 stone which is pretty impressive in less than 4 months isn’t it? I must be kinder to myself and not be disappointed

Total weightloss is now at 47lb in 15 weeks. It really is becoming a way of eating and a lifestyle change for me. So now it’s confession time…
I didn’t read the book at all, in fact I still haven’t. I read online stuff and then thought it could boost my weightloss and that I would try it whilst I was starting out the diet and motivated.
I am as surprised as anyone that I am still on with it and experiencing such good losses.

Lost another pound this week. I am starting to actually look forward to fast as odd as it may seem. I feel like I have eaten too much over the weekend.
