Trying this leap day thing, let's see if it helps the timezone thing. May be confusing when i ahve a rest on Sat and cardio fun on Sun and you're still on friday and Sat..oh well...As long as i push my self further each day, i reckon it will be even stevens.
Phew! heaps of food on the menu for me today, loads of protein! t was a struggle to eat it all but did not want to miss anything, knowing it is all good and with it's own special purpose
QUESTION on the carrots, is it still just1/2 c of carrot and the remaining 1.5 - 2c the other stuff (celery, broc, cauli)?

Kim, I'm right behind you in the timezone. We just have a head start. Congrats on your weight loss. I've only lost 1kg, but have lost an inch most of the way down the body. But, yesterday was feeling rather low . . . not sure why?
An inch most of the way donw? Do you mean an inch off your waist and an inch off your thigh etc? That's huge! We have to learn to measure our success not just in weight but in size, that is the true measurement.
Yes, an inch off my waist, hips and thigh. 1/2 inch off my abdomen. My clothes are not so tight, now. But, nothing is falling off!
Phew, that is an awesome loss! I've lost a lot of weight in the last year (29 kilos)which is 63 pounds approx and I am still wearing the same clothes. I am a lot smaller, ie my waist was 103 cm, now it is 86cm, but as they were stretchy, they just strecthed out and now back in, and still fit. Guess it's good not to ahve to buy new clothes all the time. If I had fitting clothes with actual waistbands, that woudl be different. However I can say that I can now get into clothes I would not have been able to a year ago. i am only about halfway down, so ineveitbaly there will be a whole new wardrobe needed one day. My goal at the end of the day is 75kg by next October. What is your goal? (and your height..!
