and I'm off....
Just a quick update coz I went for my 4th checkup and weigh in and I had lost just over 0.5kg (just over a 1lb) - ok that's not a huge loss in 2 weeks but I did that without dieting - without feeling hard done by or as if I was missing out. I even went to a conference dinner at the Crown - and ate until I was full. The point was I was full after the entree and about 1/4 of my main meal. I couldn't eat anymore so I left it. I had a little taster of the dessert but that was all I wanted. Funnily enough there was this other really slim lady at my table and I eyed up her plate and she ate about the same amount I did - so that's the secret!!!
I Haven't lost a huge amount yet about 11lbs from my original weight but it's enough that I'm starting to feel the benefit - my back is definatly less painful and I can walk further and even my kneww and hip are more mobile. So my exercise level is also starting to improve gradually. I just want to feel like the 40 year old I am and not as if I am 70 - having to sit down every 10 minutes.
