How did that happen?
14 Mar 2013, 20:23
Hi everyone.

I thought I would share a good day.... I went to Marks and Sparks today to look for a dress for a weekend family party.Before I started the 4:3 diet I had been a size 16 ( and worryingly sometimes 16 was a bit tight ). So I selected a few size 16 to try on and also a size 14 that was in the sale.

Guess what! 16 way too big and even 14 a bit loose.

Amazing. I bought the size 14 and went hope to check. I have lost 4 / 5 inches off my waist and 3inches off my hips. And there was me worrying that the weight loss seemed to have slowed down.

How good is that?! How did that happen.....?

Thanks everyone.

I started in mid Jan and have now lost just over a stone. I had been losing between 1 and 2 pounds a week but it has slowed a bit recently.

Funny thing is that apart from my weight, I hadn't really been checking measurements so I was truly surprised that my body shape has changed so much.
