I think your right about the BMI thing, I have noticed that the fat I have left is quite flabby now and I will need to work on toning and building some muscle back (not as much as the rugby players though), went on a bike ride tonight and tomorrow going to the gym so hopefully I will be able to build up my stamina.
I must admit that apart from the first week I have had loads of energy and have even slept so much more soundly as the weight has come off, it was a nightmare for my wife as I was a terrible snorer and she says that has stopped as well, so it has lots of other positive side effects apart from the weight loss and lower sugars.
I've noticed that the fat I have is quite flabby too., but I can now get into a size 14 suit I bought that was much too small so I am over the moon. I've not done as much exercise as I should have done but a friend and myself are going to go to the gym every Tuesday from now on. My swimming costume (I tried on on holiday) is too big so I will need a new one. . Fortunately or not, I threw out a lot of clothes that I thought I would never get into again. I got home from my son's at 5.30 to go and help our local park clean the stream. i was dog tired, but made myself go and 2 hours later I didn't want to stop, so if you push yourself, even I can do it. My BG this morning was 5.2 and after stream clean was 5.5, the other day it was 7.5 about the same time of day so exercise worked. I am down to 10st 13lb. been stuck at that for about 5 days. I've found my energy to have gone for the last few days, I hope it is because my body is using up the visceral? fat. My doctor said he couldnt give me a referral to the gym because my BMI was under 40, yet I got a BS tester without any problem. I finish my 8 weeks proper on 16 May. Can't wait. I know I'll have to watch what I eat, and I might try the week a month thing like Defren.
Keep up the good work
