Can it be? There is less cellulite on my thighs, I am sure of it! On the front of my thighs, the skin feels firmer and flat. It used to feel bumpy and ridgey from I guess the fat and/or cellulite underneath. There's still plenty of bumpy bits on the rest of my legs but I cant believe this change, I never expected this. My fat cells must be reducing due to the detoxing of the crap. This is incredible!
I have changed back to my actual day number, as the leap day I devised was not going to work in practice, so today was actually my last day of the week for excercise, as it is actually Friday here today and yes, I've done five days exercise, so rest day for me tommorow. Think I will really appreciate that, last week I wondered how I'd cope wth not working out, this week I know I need it to recover. I have a slightly pulled muscle in the left inner thigh, a couple of days will help rest that, as family fun cardio is only walking this Sunday. Today I did not lose weight, nor gain it. I am at 98.3, just 300 grams until I have lost 30 kgs since I started Oct 2008. I am seeing a pattern here, the day after the high protein (smoothie) day, I have gained or maintained weight, other days I have lost. It must be the protein building up that muscle - good! So far have lost 3.5kg (7.7 pounds) on this fat loss project and 3 cm from my waist (my personal trainer friend measures others as i always measure in the wrong place!)

Great! I don't have such good news. I'm up 0.7kg, today. No idea why???
Hey congrats on your great results - keep it coming xx
That's wonderful, Kim! I would love to see some of my cellulate disappear!
Nice work Kim, cellulite is certainly reducing with this plan, it's specifically designed to help that. Again, a lot of it is the things I've put in the diet that help reduce the fat cells and detox, but the intense exercise and pushing out the toxins through sweating also contributes to a large extent.
