Reg, the fat ends up being used for fuel as your metabolism increases through regular exercise. That's why you always hear "burn away fat". You are literally doing just that. And replacing its weight with muscle, which takes up less storage space so while eventually you reach a weight plateau, you are slimmer there than if you continued to shed pounds.

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.
