    She is from Wales and she was sent to America to lose the weight in a sort of fat camp place. I think she was 33 stone. She lost 12 stone in 7 months!!!!

    I am sure you are inspiring your niece Maz - you have done so well and when she is ready, she will follow in your footsteps.

    Wow, thats dramatic isn't it.
    Only 15 years old, now that is quite a shame isn't it. But I am so glad to hear that she is fixing it now.

    Its almost like an addiction though, once you have struggled with your weight it never leaves you, you have to be constantly vigilent to stop it coming back.

    The Secret to a long life
    cid:X.MA1.1240323611@aol.com
    A doctor on his morning walk, noticed an older lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said,
    "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"
    "I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint.
    Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food.
    On weekends, I pop pills, , and don't exercise at all.."
    "That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?"
    "Thirty-four," she replied



    I just got this off my mum, it made me smile:o

    wow i missed a lot :D

    I was helping my friend down the road with her horses and putting up stuff for her veg garden. Not too physical but i was out the house

    For a living OH is a farrier and when i am not at work i often go to work with him, i help0 do is books, i organise his clients, advertising, holding horses, giving advice etc etc

    I have had many many jobs and am between again now :( I am waiting on a police check so i can start doing care work with children with learning disabilities (have the job already just wiating) this i am looking forward too!! (and if the phone call today is any indication the check should be back soon - if they fail me (not that they should) i will be job hunting again)

    I tend to 'eat' anytime between 8am and 10am. then try and time a bar/tetra for three hours after so between 11-1 and three hours after that so between 2/3pm and then 'dinner' at about 6/6:30

    Duncan - love the secret to a long life ROFL!! :D

    Seriously though i have often wished and wished that i could be a thin person and still eat what ever i want (because they all seem to be able too!!) so why couldnt that be me? :)
