    WOW IA thats really good - well done! I hope i can notice the difference in a month.
    We were discussing diets in work the other day and have decided to run our own club. We will weigh each other once a week and if you dont lose weight or you put some on we have to pay £1 into the charity pot. Hopefully it will motivate us as there will be 10 of us doing it!:j
