P.S: Just re-read the first post... Anyone ever read 'The Timewaster Letters'? It reminds me of them. Very funny. I stood and read it in the bookshop and nearly peed myself laughing it's so funny but still never bought it (so I had the last laugh over the timewaster!) Here's his website:

I'm just starting (again) South Beach. Congrads on your loss. Did you use any particular diet??? How long did it take?

PhatPhoenix I bought the Timewasters Letters and enjoyed it so much that I bought the 2nd book when that came out too - some of them were just hysterical.

You mean me, thinmolly or the folk with the burned down gym?

I haven't weighed myself for months so no clue what I weigh at the moment, I think I must have regained about half a stone, though, as have had a very stressful time.

I did a lot of things - not South beach though (I gained a stone on that! Don't ask!) Mainly Rosemary Conley worked for me, some Low GI and lots of exercise, also Paul McKenna's book and CD.

Took me best part of a year, but I'm in my 40s. If you're younger it should take half that time!

Sadly, my very active dog who used to walk and run with me everyday died a couple of months back, and although I have another dog (in my avatar) she's not a keen exerciser. I've got back on track now and am sure I'll be back to where I was in a month or two.

yes i am starting fresh again today i had a terrible weekend! weekends are my downfall but i am trying to grip on it and change that trend.
