Nine Down 1 month ago

I’ve started this again. I didn’t weigh when I started my diet two weeks ago, but I know I’ve lost seven between the first time I did weigh and today. I’m nine down from when I posted this goal many moons ago.

What has spurred me to do this is the chronic pain in my back. I can grab my stomach and pull it up in such a way that the weight is born by my arms instead of my back, and my back feels so much better.

That’s what I need to remember when those cravings hit.

Re back pain

My daughter’s back goes into spasm sometimes. Recently she lost weight. No particular diet – walked around the neighbourhood and ate a lot of grapes. Gave up crisps and fizzy drinks. She likes grapes and she likes walking. Walked home from work – distance of 8 miles.

Still curvy but down to a UK size 10, wearing mini dresses and loving the ease of buying fashionable clothes. Sports physio said to try swimming as the water would support her back. No breast stroke as too much strain put on back. New shape, she’s buying bikinis for first time in ten years.

Side effect of losing the weight – back ache has lessened. Properly fitted bra (Bravissimo) helps too.

Best wishes on your efforts too.

PS she still ate pizza, sweets and biscuits.

procrastinatress is losing weight and gaining radiance!

So what are you doing...

... to lose the weight?

Proud of you for starting again :o)
