I have lost ¼ inch on each bicep and half an inch across my chest, 1/2 inch at my waist and 3/4 inch across my navel. There were no changes around my hips, bum and lower legs although each thigh lost almost 1.5inches.

My knee still gives me some pain and I’m still doing exercise to strengthen the muscles in my legs with the high reps obviously helping to tone my thighs. I’ve started running a few times a week, so far only 3-4 miles and at marathon pace, so not too fast. My physio says that it is important I don’t tire my legs while they are weak as I may develop poor technique running over longer distances leading to more problems later on.

I’m quite satisfied with my results I have achieved with little effort and I haven’t noticed the missing sugar from my coffee, nor do I really need a second chocolate bar in the evening. Over the next few weeks I’m looking to increase my running and other cardiovascular exercise and hope fully lose some inches from my hips. I’ll let you know how I get on.
