I toyed with the idea of doing a weekly update of my Thinking Slimmer program, but if I am completely honest I don’t really have the time. The last week has seen both Eliza and Sebastian ill and I haven’t had a chance to start the MUTU system as I have been constantly running around after or cuddling them.
That said, I have made progress already and it is even better than I hoped.
You can see my starting weight / measurements here.
Week 1 weight loss: 4lbs
Week 2 weight loss: 2lbs
Thinking Slimmer isn’t really about the weight loss though, it is more about measurements and changing eating habits. I have found myself not reaching for the biscuit tin, and if I do I will only have one or two rather than a handful. I have also stopped grazing any left over food from the kids and eating smaller portions of dinner.
Measurement wise:
Chest: 36″ – no change
Waist: 36″ – a loss of 2″
Tummy: 41″ – a loss of 1″
Hips: 40″ – a loss of 2″
Thighs: 21″ – no change
It is such a great start that I am even more motivated to keep going and I am confident that when I start the MUTU system I will start to see better results on my tummy.
grazing is kinda a hard one to cut off isn’t it, but it always gets easier. i have always found the best thing to do in general in regards to keeping a weight you’re happy with or losing a little is still to eat what you want, just control your portions, get as much excersise as you can, and drink plenty of water.
Good advice from Laura there 🙂 Keep going, you are doing really well! It’s tough, I have the opposite problem, everyone reckons they are so jealous – but it can be as difficult as losing weight too!
I must start listening to mine again, as it need all the help I can get at the moment!
This is really interesting. I know My Two Mums are doing this also – I am always snacking on loads during the day and having big portions so I would love to see how you get on when you can update.
Keep up the great work hun.

thats brilliant, well done, im sure it must be tough to find time to think what you eat, but well done and dont stop
I am a nightmare at grazing because at the end of the day I might be really hungry and feel like I haven’t eaten, but when I really think about it the junk I have snacked on has probably already gone over what I’m allowed a day. Sorting my weight out is one of my resolutions this year and I’m trying to take care of myself more for the sake of my little girl.
Sounds like you are going about it the right way – whenever I am trying to loose weight I go on measurements rather than weight loss. Great that you are grazing less and having the motivation not to eat as much!
Well done you and what a very cute swimming baby photo!
Grazing is my really problem as well. I’m back onto slimming world this week!

That’s great Kara, well done lovely. Must be so nice to measure yourself and see a physical difference. Brilliant. Hope Eliza and Sebastian are feeling better x
Well done you! It must be great to see those results. I need to start thinking about slimming down my own hips! 🙂
Well done! This sounds fab! I need to shift a few lbs and inches. Good luck in your journey xx
Sounds fab, would love to try that one day – I definitely need to change my eating habits!
I’m so interested to see how you get on. I’m determined to lose weight and tone up and I’m currently on Day 9 on the 30 Day Shred. I have to admit that I get obsessed with measuring myself….come on inches, be gone. I have a night out on Friday and I’m trying to lose a bit of bloat for then.
Well done you, I really need to do something, although i think I will wait till after Disney!
I’m such a grazer, I really need to tone up a bit..and like Laura said drink more water! x
Fab start!
This is a great change for just one week.
Now you have to keep it up and stick with it
