Hi my name is Lem and i'm a chocoholic!
i am willing to give this a go but will start tomorrow if you don't mind.
I am desparately trying to lose weight but doing a yo yo at the moment and i'm sure that 99% of that is due to chocolate, so this should help.
I have also just signed up for the Children in Need slimathon, so really need to work hard.
Good luck everyone, i think we will need it.

PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBTS0 -
I'm sorry I can't join you. It is against the law to not eat chocolate every evening.
However, some info for you ... 4 squares of decent chocolate (70% and above) taken daily will chemically improve your moodde do-do-do, de dar-dar-dar0 -
I managed to go cold turkey for 2 years, and that was no sugar of any description in my diet. I was on an anti candida diet for health reasons. I saved an absolute fortune on my shopping bill too. Good luck to everyone, but beware of the withdrawal symptoms which kick in around day 5.“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0
