Guest guest Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hi ALl, Well it is now a month of challenge - how is everyone doing? I have a positive to report! I lost an inch of waist this month. I am SO pleased with that. For me waist measurement is the critical item as I have all central fat. My weight has been up and down a bit, but overall I seem to be 1 pound lower today than when I started. I do not really care as much about weight. It went down 5 lbs at one point but then back up, and that is all is a lot to do with edema. I have metapneumonic pleurisy which is not useful on the edema issue. But waist improvement - YEAH I'll take that:-) Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 You did better than me, Irene. I lost about 5 lbs then gained back 3. I lost about 1/2 inch in the waist. I feel good though. And I sleep much better. I think over time the weight will come off. After all, it took time to get there!!!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 As a 74 yo follower of BLOOD TYPE diet; I can only say that I havehadto eliminate all fruits; for sweets I eat mainly manna bread. I look better than when in 50's. My weight for 5ft7 is around 140 (actually haven't been on scale for years). dress/lpants size is 8-10. That is not to say I don't have problelms, but diet seems to keep IBS and eye problems under control. I do " senior " yoga; play tennis and golf. So far, I am grateful. thanks, Re: Health Challenge > You did better than me, Irene. I lost about 5 lbs then gained back 3. I > lost about 1/2 inch in the waist. I feel good though.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I haven't measured my waist - I'm not actively exercising - so I don't expect a change. However I have managed to lose a total of five pounds. It seems to me that it is the same 5 pounds I lose every fall (because I try to). I know we said we would do this for three weeks, but I, for one, plan to continue. Kate On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 7:45 PM, Forrester <bigpondaussies@...>wrote: > You did better than me, Irene.

I > lost about 1/2 inch in the waist. I think that is great!!! 2 lbs in a month is very longterm weight loss. The fast stuff is sledom stay away stuff:-) Seems liek bouncing about is par for the course. I had lost 6 and regained 5. Net loss 1 pound only. Weird to lose an entire waist inch wit onlu 1 lb lost. So it just proves there is more to this - there's edema and all kinds of factors. > I feel good though. And I sleep much > better. I think over time the weight will come off. After all, it took > time to get there!!! Yes i agree. We need to just keep at it:-) Namaste, HAPPY HALOWEEN! Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.
