    Another success story with diet and exercise!

    Thanks guys... to answer your question Lucillepinon I did it with pure determination lol I got a personal trainer and worked my butt off and ate properly for a long time lol In fairness it didn't take as long as I thought it would take... I still have 3 stone to lose but I am getting there slowly!!!

    Totally agree with Caroline on the VLCD's ... I did one twice... lost loads put it alll back on!!! It is quick but for most people it goes back on plus some because it really teaches you nothing about food and what we should be eating. I also feel it can suck you into a vicious circle of...

    Birmingham Meet April 24th & 25th
