I have been dieting for many years now, at the age of 47 I have found it much harder to lose weight and have tried many diets in the past where I have initially lost weight, but cannot seem to get below 10 stone and stay there. At a height of 5′ 3″ I would like to weigh between 9 and 9and a half stone and stay there. I find that I carry weight around my middle and belly, love handles and this is where the weight never seems to go from leaving me very frustrated. I thought I would give this diet a go and hope it aids me to achieve the weight loss and body I desire. On a health note, I have a very good cholesterol score and very good blood pressure, so apart from the visible weight I am fairly healthy.
I started this diet last Monday (which I used as a fast day), I also had another fast day on Thursday, and to be honest I haven’t found these days too hard.
I weighed myself yesterday (a week into the diet) and have lost one pound, which is not a lot but it’s a loss and if I can do that every week over the next few months I should achieve my goal and more hopefully.
