It seems that just when I think I know exactly how my body is going to behave ~ actually I don't 
Any other time just before TOTM it's water retention,bloating & weight gain.
When I arrived at LL last evening I hung around at the back in an effort to delay the horridness (new word 
) that I KNEW was coming when I got on the scales 
WRONG AGAIN 
Another 4 lbs lost
So...thats a total of 1st 12 lbs (26 lbs ~ can't decide which sounds better 
)
Scary BMI is now 27.5
E took the group last night as S was on holiday (how dare she? 
)and explained that the water is responsible for the decrease in nasty monthly symptoms and also reduces period pains! I have consequently vowed to continue the daily 4 litres for the rest of my life!
We were measured again in group which is truly fascinating to watch. E showed us 'the gap' which is done buy putting the tape measure around you where it was on Day 1 of the programme.
I was happy with my own measurements ~ a total of 18 1/2 inches down, but seeing how much the others in the group had shrunk was such a buzz!
Some one had lost 11 inches just from her waist!! One of the others made me giggle as she observed that 'you could fitwhole Victoria Beckham through that gap'
We were all very buoyant after that and didn't get much else done in group, but I think it provided a much needed lift for everyone.
I am no longer hungry 
thank the lord!
Perhaps it was the old pre-menstrual carb craving thing last week?
Yesterday at work one of the GP's got all flustered trying to work out what was different about me, it was so funny! She lives at the best of times on planet Zog, so for her to notice was confirmation enough for me that my weight loss is at long last noticeable
So, Day 57 today...Start of Week 9.
I feel very positive and inspired all over again.
My LL blogees are doing brilliantly so far losing far more than I did at that stage ~ you go girls!!
