Lose The Fat 5

Hi, Now that I’ve got into a pattern with eating and exercise, I’m starting to see the fat loss I’ve been looking for.

Weight:
Start Weight: 201
Today: 197 (last week 199)

Picture:

Measurements:
Chest: 41.5 (last week 42)
Belly: 39.5 (last week 40.5)
Waist: 38.5 (last week 38.5)
Hips: 39.75 (last week 40.25)
Right Upper Arm: 13.25 (last week 13.25)
Right U A Flexed: 14.25 (last week 14.25)
Left Upper Arm: 13.25 (last week 13.25)
Left U A Flexed: 14.25 ((last week 14.25)
Right Thigh: 23 (last week 23)
Left Thigh: 23 (last week 23)

This is the first week I’ve seen a significant drop in Chest, Belly and Hips measurements and they seem to correspond with the weight loss. I’m four pounds down on my starting weight of 201 and dropping about 2lbs per week, which is pretty much what I’m aiming for (not much more and not much less).

It’s too early to be throwing wild celebrations about losing a little weight but never the less, I’m very pleased with the results bcause I’ve tried hard to earn them.

There have been times this week when I’ve been hungry and forced myself to wait until the next meal before eating. There are times when I’ve been running and I’ve just wanted to stop for a minuite or quit entirely, but instead I’ve dug deep and found the motivation to continue.

There have also been times this week while I’ve been walking the dog in my jeans, t-shirt and walking boots when I’ve spontaneously broken into a run without even realising I’d done it. Very odd.

What really seems to have helped is moving from six small meals a day to three main meals with no snacks. This seems to be the opposite of what everyone else is doing but it’s working for me.

I feel fitter, I feel like I’ve lost fat, I look like I’ve lost fat and I don’t appear to be losing muscle. All good.
Be healthy!
