Thank you Helen, PJ and Mark, I have also been monitoring that, but
of course just doing my vocal exercises keeps me intimately in contact
with it also.
Fortunately I own a stepper and have begun using it regularly.
I actually feel very well and am on my 28th day having gone
from 108kg+ to 101kg this morning. I'm still a little confused about where
this fat "goes"? It's not like the body to just dispense with energy that
has been so diligently stored. (That's 15lbs.)
This programme does stress the need for exercise but in the early
stages that is quite difficult.
Mark that site you mentioned was quite helpful. It confirmed for
me that my ideal weight was between 72 and 90kg. My goal has always
been 90kg with anything less probably too low for my frame.

Thanks for your reminders. Reg.
