    Lovely article in Daily Mail

    Yes you did read that right! In the Weekend magazine of today's DM there's an article about Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's wife, Jackie, who has been doing LLand lost 5 stone. I think it's a nice positive one any way.

    Good for her

    Funny, I saw an article with photos of the family the other day and thought what a lovely lady, but saw she had put on weight since previous photos I'd seen and thought I bet she would benefit from LL,
    BUT I try not to be evangelistic about it because it has worked for me at this time in my life, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be right for everyone else.
    There must be issues for her being married to such a high profile person aside from anything else in her life.
    I'm really pleased it has worked for her.

    Nice to see the Daily Mail still managed to get that all important "controversial" word in there!!

    But at least they are starting to look at success stories as well as the horror stories!

    And I've always thought she was a beautiful lady, she's just a smaller beautiful lady now!! Good for her!

    I agree Beki, the Daily Mail are awful for their catastrophising:

    Jackie lost the weight using the controversial LighterLife diet, a punishing 500-calories-a-day regime in which meals are replaced with shakes and soups, and it is recommended that you drink four litres of water spread out over a day.


    The dieting craze, which currently has 15,000 followers, has been linked to memory loss, heart attacks - and even death.

    I'venever felt punished once - actually more rewarded by the positive things life can bring when you lose weight!

    But I think it is a lovely story and she sounds a lovely grounded lady xxx

    Fair dues...at least it isn't completely negative this time!

    Poor woman

    They will all be watching now to see if she puts weight back on. I hope they don't do a Fern on her.

    Well despite what that article may read with the immensely inappropriate headline calling it controversial. People will only read tha part about 5 stones being lost. So its a promotion
