Everyone please congratulate me!

Four weeks ago, I returned from a fantastic holiday in Tenerife intent on taking myself in hand. Since then, I have touched not a drop of the old amber nectar, cut out baking altogether (except for Sundays), cut out butter and cream, and increased the amount of fruit I eat. And I have lost (quick fanfare) 20lbs!

[ummmm]

Massive pat on the back for you xx

Congratulations Lynda, keep up the good work.

That is very close to losing weight too quickly, Lynda - the recommended is to lose 2 pounds a week, the risk being the "F"s - female, freckled, fair, fat, over Forty and that translate into gallbladder issues down the line......I don't want to sound alarmist, however, take care. A small reward doesn't go amiss too. Well done for losing what you have, now take it at a slightly gentler pace.

Well done Lynda. I bet you are looking even more gorgeous now.

That's amazing Lynda, but try not to drop too fast - me, I will be happy if I lose 6 lbs by Christmas. I try, then something happens (like the risk of losing my job in the near future) and my will falls to one side...

I know it's a fast weight loss, but, unfortunately I have got a lot to lose (at least four stones, unfortunately). I lost 7lbs the first week, then 5, then 4 on the two consecutive weeks. I really haven't cut down that much on what I eat, but I am trying to eat real food (instead of a twix for breakfast, for example lol). I know that 2lbs max per week is the ideal, which I know is probably all I will lose in future, if that.

PS Hopkirk - I love you too ;-)
