Just had to say that I have just measured myself at strategic places (as you do at 7 am!) and am absolutely thrilled to discover that I am now losing the inches really quickly. Not sure if this will be reversed after the non fast days (as usually happens with weight in the short term) but am absolutely thrilled, especially as I still don't appear to have lost much weight from my face, which is usually the case. Still not had the results of my 24 hour blood pressure monitor but, whatever, this has got to be doing me a lot of good!
