Thanks to Mo's example, I decided to measure myself and was pleased to discover that in addition to losing 3kg over the last 3 weeks I have lost over an inch off my waist and an inch off my hips. So I'm 33-27-37. This is pretty good for me and almost all my clothes are fitting again. I am only .2kg off my goal weight but could try to go down another 1.5 or so after that (any more would probably to too little for my age and frame)
I do have 2 garments it would be nice to fit into, but generally want to concentrate on fitness and strength. I did some cardio over the last few weeks, including a 4km fun run, but neglected weights and would like to do 2 weekly session of that, 3 cardio and one flexibility and/or core strength class.
Since Una posted I have joined the gym again and made an apt with a physio to check whether I should be running. I am trying to decide between doing a long distance ocean swim in Feb as I have done the last few years or aim for a half marathon. There have been increased shark attacks this year and I am a bit nervous of going over a mile out to sea!
All the best to Una and all who posted! Thanks for the challenge
