Thank you for your nice comments everyone. It's so good when you can see your weight come off!!!
No perfume yet Jkath, my jeans and top in pic number two were my treat this month!!! Next month, Jo Malone, here we come.
Heat, to answer your question, I have been doing loads of exercise, swimming a couple of times a week as well as the gym. My instructor at the gym said to concentrate on cardio and on hamstring and glutes, and your inner thighs will benefit from the overall fat reduction - spot exercising don't work. There are machines for the inner thighs, but I don't use them much, coz I feel like I am at the gynaecologist!!! And they have a mirror in front, erk!!!!
The exercise is the biggest change in my life, it has been a lifestyle change rather than a diet. And one I need to stick to now for the rest of my life!
