Day 28-30 VLCD Reshaping and firming

Very busy days with shopping, cleaning and work... scale is up as I'm up early and inches are down! 164.2 is a great way to head into the weekend... As I am just under ten lbs from my last end weight the distribution is different from what it was four months ago! Reshaping is happening, the legs are more defined and arms firmer... waist is smoothing around the edges and the lumps and bumps that were there are nearly gone! I hear all the time the fears of 'loose skin' and I'm here to tell you, just as I was told, it will diminish as the time passes... there are things you can do to help that process! Skin brushing, MSM, and stretching, massaging yourself. These are just a few of my favorite methods however there are many more... Understand that your skin will firm up over one year, after that you are basically done... you can at that point do another short round for finishing touches. If you've been following my blog from the beginning you know this is my 'nearly half way to a year reshaping round' I've lost a shoe size, three ring sizes and many bra sizes! Using a measuring tape to track your own progress is a wonderful way to keep motivated, see the changes and put a number to the physical... Seeing a difference is more than a picture, new pair of jeans, or the looks we get from others... it's a mental picture and changing that one is motivation in ways that can't be described in words! What change have you loved the most, and why... hold on to that and it will keep you going! Happy releases and sweet dreams!
