    You were right about the Grapefruit Diet Hypno, I QUIT.

    I've had more grapefruit today than i've had in my entire lifetime, and i'm feeling yukky.

    My dilemma now is, 'What am I going to do with the 3 litres of grapefruit juice and 8 grapefruits that I have left?'

    No more faddy excursions for me, I'm back on the straight and narrow ..... until the next time :eek:.

    Ouch.

    OK, so the bl00dy shoes work :cool: My ar5e feels like I've walked up ten flights of steps after a lunchtime walk of 1.7 miles...adding 3523 steps to my daily tally.

    This is in horrified response to discovering that on an average workday I only clock up around 3094 steps...and that included a walk around Tesco and a short walk to the pub :cool:

    HOWEVER, I'm not going to get too gung-ho about it all...or too depressed. I'm already moving more than I was so that's GOT to help the weight come off, even if it's not dropping off me like stick insects off a hot-plate.

    That grapefruit thing sounds interesting...if I liked grapefruit! It's one of the only things I don't eat - too bitter :eek: But maybe I'll try it again if it's some sort of fat-buster :)

    Well done Thrifty,

    What shoes are you wearing??

    It feels like we are a group of product testers :). Wouldn't it be great if we were getting paid for the privilege.
