Something Must be Working...

It's official....... something must be working.  Somewhere, I'm managing to do something right because I'm losing the weight!  The best part is that I don't really feel like I'm on any kind of diet!
When I started 13 wks ago, It was hard.  I actually found the first 3 weeks really difficult.  I'm not good at diets, so I decided I would just begin cutting out the junk, watching what I was eating.  I used the weight watchers tracking for a couple of weeks to help get me started.  Then I really watched just what I was doing............ when did I eat the most?  What were the things that held the highest calorie count?  When was I at my worst (that is .... when did I eat the most junk)?  I looked at ways of getting more activity into my day.

13 weeks ago I weighed around 78kg and as of yesterday I'm down to 73.1kg!  Best of all my measurements have dropped - My waist is down 7cm, Stomach down 7cm, Hips down 5cm, Thighs down 5cm, Bust down 6cm (mostly back fat!), and my arm is down by 2cm.   I'm feeling better in myself, clothes are fitting better and I can have the odd treat without it being a problem or needing a whole packet of something!   So, in summary - success comes by doing it in small bits with the goal of improving your health, NOT attempting to stay on a diet forever!
