Week 1 results

[Denise Innes]

Well I've managed to make it through my first week!!
I have religiously done my exercises and stuck to the diet to the letter.
I have to say that i have been sore from the exercises although it is getting easier :)
The results have been astonishing for me.............8 and 1/4 pounds in weight loss and an amazing 7 and 1/2 inch loss in total from my body.
I feel great and have heaps more energy and i must say i sleep like a baby now which is a weird thing for me because up to now i have only every managed to sleep for 4 hours unbroken per night for years.
My skin has broken out in a few strange places..........arms, behind the thighs and chest as well as my chin but i'm sure that it will clear up as i progress, but having said that i see a total change in the appearance and feel of my skin, it is much softer and smoother (no lumpy bits anymore)
Anyhoo, i hope that the transformation continues.
I will be working on an oil platform from the end of this week for a few days so i won't have the same control over what i'm eating, fingers crossed i don't crash and burn!!

Denise,
That is great....congratulations.... If I may be so bold...try to take some stuff with you....nuts, sunflower seeds, things that you can munch on in a pince....I know it sounds like a pain in the tuckus but after such great results in a week, you don't want to give up an inch....

Keep up the good work.

Well done, Denise! They are amazing results! My first week results were not so good but I was still pleased! I lost a total of about 3 pounds ( I am converting from kilos so roughly) amd 3 1/2 cms from around my body! I was not as good as you and found I ached so much on some days I managed to talk myself out of the exercise and had a couple of slip ups eating wise:( . Anyway I am still pleased as my body does not give up its fat stores lightly, my usual routine is lose a kilo one week, put it back on the next, so if i can maintain even a small weightloss each week it will keep me motivated! I still hav'nt located a medicine ball ( I have tried both sports shops where I live in Monaco and neither of them do them, so I have been using a handweight which I just realised today is only 2lb, so I think a 3lb one would probably kill me :) Maybe I will work up to that!!! Anyway am really keeping to the diet this week and have done all the exercise now the pain is not so bad!! Anyway good luck for next week on the oil platform I will hopefully be hitting a sun lounger:)
