I agree, Shropshirelass. That's exactly what I have been doing. The fat is slowly melting but it's taking its time, and though I'm no longer in the obese category I'm still very overweight. That said I feel (physically at any rate) loads better for being slimmer. I've dropped a dress size or two (depending on the type of garment) and my bras no longer fit properly. I'm very pear-shaped - always have been - and the fat is still stubbornly clinging to hips, tummy and legs, but I'm going to keep on going till it starts to vanish.
I avoid biscuits, cakes and sweets apart from a very occasional treat and limit wholemeal bread. pasta, and so on. If I eat breakfast it's a mix of a few jumbo oats, buckwheat flakes, ground seeds, a few mixed nuts and some oat milk. No sugar.
I will leave buying a fat scale, I think, having weighed up the advice and suggestions here. Wise G-Netters, thank you!
