How a PCOS patient like me lost 3 kg

It is 3 kg. Not a lot, but not a little too.

Going by the rule of thumb that a 5% weight loss would have made a difference, I done 2/3 of the initial weight loss target.

Here is what I think I did right to loose the weight:

• Walk at least 3 km a day. On certain days, when the weather is good and I get off work early, I would aim to "walk till tired". Instead of getting on the bus or train, I try to aim to walk to the "next stop".. and the "next".. and the "next".  That means on some days, I walk about 3 km on my way back.
• Soup it! I try to have soup for lunch, especially on those days which I know I could have an early dinner. A perfect weight lose day would be soup for lunch, walk as much as I could on the way home, eat dinner early, do yoga, and go to bed early!

What I did wrong!

• Had light lunch and then at biscuits at "tea time" And when I had to go home late, I sometimes finished 5-6 biscuits before going home!!! That makes it about 540 calories just on biscuits! BAD!!!
• giving in to "hunger" - those hunger generated by my NSAIDS for my pains. Those are really trying times! 

Lost more weight!

Ladies and gentlemen, 

I am please to announce that I am now a featherweight 84 kg! Ahem! I finally hit the elusive 84 kg on the scale. 

84 kg !!

It must be the period. I must have lost almost 1 kg of blood and tissue because of it. 

When this weight loss plan started in February, I hoped to be 84 kg in 3 months. Ie, I hoped to be 84 kg by the beginning of June. Now I am 84 kg at the beginning of October. It took 4 more months than I had expected! That makes it 3 kg in 7 months!!! Sigh.. and now that winter is here..

Winter = weigh gain for most women. When it is cold outside, what is more comforting and cosy than hiding in the duvet with a cup of hot chocolate? A a glass of hot chocolate or milk seemed to be the perfect way to keep warm? No!!!

I got to keep losing weight! At least I have to maintain it during autumn/winter! 

A period!

I had my period last week.

Big deal? Yeah, it is when it come once in a blue moon. It is when I had been spotting for over two bloody (literally!) months, and I was seriously thinking of a proper check up. It is a big deal when the last one was more than 6 months ago. 

And it chose a great time to come - while I was back packing. I had given up "expecting" it and only had panty liners with me It was really heavy, and I was worried about running out of pads. Sigh. What perfect timing!
