| Sure, Poppypoo, a buddy is always nice to have and the fact that you don't need to lose THAT much either makes it more interesting!
So you are following Step 2? I'm SS-ing since here in Holland there are no restrictions. But I think my body can handle some extra calories.
I checked out the SS+ system and I'm certain that adding 200 kcals of 'green and white' foods won't slow the weight loss down.
What you said about having a small frame is very true. My pulses are quite small, so are my ankles. I also have a pretty thin waist and a small back (bra-band size), and I have narrow shoulders.
So extra weight is instantly noticeable, making me very puffy.
Also I think it depends on where you store fat. When I gain weight, it first goes to my face, creating puffiness and a double chin. It also goes to my upper arms, which is also instantly noticeable.
All of this happens when I hit the 25 BMI. I'm now at a BMI of 24,5 and voila: my face has already shaped up a LOT. It sure motivates me!
You did a great job so far and thumbs up for the next few weeks! I hope on being finished in six weeks and to never having to do cb again! |
