10 Week Body Makeover: Week 3 Results
Although some would argue to the contrary, losing fat when you’re obese is generally pretty easy.
However, toning up and stripping the last of the fat is a slower, more difficult process with much smaller degrees of progress.
That’s where I’m beginning to get to now as I enter into the fourth week.
I said last week that I would be upping the intensity of some exercises. I did that, and I could really feel the burn in my legs by Wednesday.
The nutritional aspect is going pretty well. I slacked off on my water intake for a couple of days, and very quickly noticed an increase in water retention. So yesterday (Friday) I had a lot of water to try and compensate.
This shows the importance of being consistent with your water intake. I was drinking more than what I used to, but it was less than the first two weeks, so my body began to retain water.
Various thoughts this week:
I only managed to get two videos done this week, but they’re both on the longer side. Hopefully they’re helpful to you:

Further points
After three weeks, I’m delighted with how things are progressing. There are a few things I’ve noticed:
- I still don’t feel hungry between scheduled meals
- My strength and energy is making noticeable progress
- My skin tone and complexion is transformed and I’m getting far fewer skin blemishes (spots, pimples, etc).

Thanks sis. It’s weird that people that people are noticing and mentioning it now. It really makes you wonder why you’d ever return to what you were doing before (which really wasn’t all that bad).
Clearly my body is enjoying this new way of eating.
As for the ‘page’, thanks. You’re the first to mention it. I thought I’d freshen it up as it had been 18 months or so since the last one.

I’m sure others have noticed, too. They just haven’t said anything yet. People are quiet at the weekend.
I’m glad you find it easy to navigate. I’m still tweaking, but I hope others feel the same.

I’m glad to hear that
Make the decision. How long does the good feeling of eating something you shouldn’t, compare with the good feeling of knowing you’ve lost weight and are looking better?
My guess is, the five minutes of joy chocolate gives is nothing compared to the lasting feeling of accomplishment when you get in shape.
Just some food for thought to help with that need to be determined
