Do you mean the Mullerlight Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt, Tempting Toffee, Special Edition , 120g pot If so this is 1/2 on Extra Easy, Original or Green :)

I'm sure you'll do great! Let us know how you get on x I'm taking a planned break this week as I'm on holiday with the family and I realised as I was packing that I don't have enough bars! I prefer a bar to take out for lunch as they are far easier than having to make up a shake. Also the...

Awwww Christy, life is cr*p sometimes, isn't it? You are doing all the right things though - and you should feel proud of yourself! I think too often overweight women suffer with really low self esteem. The pressure on us to look fabulous is huge but when life throws you a curve ball it's so...

I lost 1.5 stones a couple of years ago (got down to 13st from 15.5st) and then took up running (started off with the Couch 2 5k plan). In the 2 years that I was exercising by running 3 times a week I didn't put on a single pound and I ate just normally. Had what I wanted and drank when I...

I've had the exact same thing said to me this week "oh, you'll put it all back on and more. the quicker you lose it the quicker you'll put it back on". I just said yes of course I will - IF I go back to eating the way I was. It doesn't matter if you lose the weight slowly or fast - if you then...

Just another 2.5lbs this week so just 0.5lb to go to reach August target. 1. p220157 - 12lbs (2 down, 10lbs to go) 2. Yolande - Lose 21lbs 3. Littlemumma - Lose 16 lbs. (4 down, 12lbs 2go) 4. Shazzy_shaz - lose 16lbs 5. ChrissyRiley - Lose 20lbs (-8lbs, 12lbs to go) 6. Trisha83 - Lose 14lbs. 7...

Phew back home and stuck to plan all week. It's my first official weigh in of myself today! Should have weighed in yesterday morning but was travelling back home so that didn't work. I've lost 2.5lbs but am really disappointed. Only lost 2lbs last week and pretty much the same again this week...

I can only echo Casablanca's great advice. I know this is pot calling the kettle black as i'm a sucker for daily weigh-ins. There are going to be weeks when you don't lose as much but as long as it's going in the right direction that's all that matters. Totally get it though as weighed myself...

That's brilliant news Lola, a fantastic loss!!!

Thanks Christy, needed that encouragement. Been feeling a bit low this evening :( Don't really know why, perhaps all the getting together with family and having to defend my diet choice etc. I'm missing my girls and hubby too. Girls are off on a weeks camping with youth group, hubby is working...

Day 24 Travelled down to my mums today which was long and tedious. But mum is being brilliantly supportive of me so that is really great. Just hope I can stick to plan this week as I'm off on holiday next week which may prove more difficult. The longer I'm sticking to this though the more...

Day 23 Feel much better today, the dizzy spells seem to have passed which is great. And I actually felt hungry for my supper today which is another good thing. A completely S&S day today. Does this mean I can no longer post in the CD forum :( hope not... Breakfast: crispy chocolate shake (S&S)...

Brilliant - well done on sticking to plan even when eating out! Good luck on the WI tomorrow.

Well done for getting right back on with it Christy. Let me know how you get on with your WI tomorrow - might not be as bad as you think, especially as you are already back in ketosis :D

Day 22 (yesterday) Funny day too, out of sorts, probably because it's the first day of that awful totm? Have felt really tired, light headed and just generally out of it for the last few days. Breakfast: fruits of the forest shake (CD) Lunch: peanut bar (CD) Supper: curry (S&S) - yuck! The...

You've got to have a life Christy - something I'm feeling I don't have at the moment. I keep telling myself that it's only for a set length of time, and I keep hoping it will get easier (it doesn't seem to be). Don't be too hard on yourself - it's done, you had a great day, draw a line and move...

Go for it! Stick with it because it really does work :)

How's it going Kriskin? Hope Egypt has been a nice break, or is it a work related trip?

I've tried to not drink past 7pm tonight so hopefully won't be getting up so much :) Thanks for tip :)

Day 21 WI day today, and as previously posted lost 2lbs this week. Was slightly disappointed but I don't understand why as that's what I was expecting to lose :) It's that totm so a loss is good. Lunchtime was a killer as they made bacon sandwiches - bacon is my all time most favourite thing...

Thanks Christy, and yes 2lbs is good considering it's that totm, it is going in the right direction! I am definitely going to stay strong next week. This diet is a killer, although some days not so bad, and I just want it over with. I figure the better I stick with it the quicker it will be all...

Ok, just got back from my 2nd WI of August and I've lost another 2lbs: 1. p220157 - 12lbs (2 down, 10lbs to go) 2. Yolande - Lose 21lbs 3. Littlemumma - Lose 16 lbs. (4 down, 12lbs 2go) 4. Shazzy_shaz - lose 16lbs 5. ChrissyRiley - Lose 20lbs 6. Trisha83 - Lose 14lbs. 7. Keighleyjo - 20lbs...

Oh, and I'm off down to mum's on Monday for the week. Really want to stay to plan and just do SS but my mum tries to sabotage me - buying me chocolates even when I tell her I don't want one! Grrrr... I'm going to need a 10/10 willpower rating for next week!

Just got back and I've lost 2lbs. I know I shouldn't be disappointed but I am slightly :) but it is my totm so maybe that has something to do with it. I bought another weeks worth of CD products but I didn't make an appointment to go back and see her. I chickened out and said I would text, lol...

I used the app by Felt Tip Inc called Couch to 5k but there is one called Ease into 5k by Bluefin Software LLC that is also ok.

Day 20 Another busy day, this time putting together the Ikea furniture we bought yesterday. Busy days seem to work for me - less thinking about food time. Lol. However, I did wake up and realised that I'd been dreaming about eating food (hope it was just a dream and not sleep walking and...

Running is really great and a great calorie burner. Have you tried the Couch To 5k programme. I started this a couple of years ago, when I was over 15stone and very unfit, basically doing no exercise. It's an 8 or 9 week course that gets you off the couch and running around 5k (obviously :P)...

It's just sauce, mostly tomato based, I doubt there are a) many calories in it or b) any carbs in it. Put it behind you - tomorrow is another day!

That's a great idea, thanks :)

:( that is truly horrible Christy but looking on the bright side - you resisted!!! And if you can cope through that you can cope through anything. Give yourself a huge pat on the back for staying strong :D Very, very proud of you!

Yup, got to love a bit of science :) This is my 3rd day of taking them and I have to say I'm feeling much more up beat and positive today, don't know if it's the supplement or not. Slim & Save - well, it's like CD but much, much cheaper! A week's worth (21 items) of S&S is £29.99, plus p&p...

It was very horrible! But I survived - yay!!! Feeling much more positive today, maybe it's the omega supplement kicking in? As for the Slim & Save plan the paperwork that came with it says "There are 2 difference programmes for women '3 items per day' or '4 items per day'. If you have purchased...

Forgot to update with my WI on 3rd August! 5lbs lost so only 5lbs left to lose this month - should have set a higher target, lol! 1. p220157 - 12lbs (2 down, 10lbs to go) 2. Yolande - Lose 21lbs 3. Littlemumma - Lose 16 lbs. (4 dwn, 12lbs 2go) 4. Shazzy_shaz - lose 16lbs 5. ChrissyRiley - Lose...

Day 19 Ok, as my CDC has got to go I've been looking at various options, one of which is switching to Slim & Save as I've heard the flavours are quite good... so I ordered the sample/taster kit, which has one of each of the meals they do and I am going to trial them over the next couple of...

Hey Lola! I'm doing fine at the moment, more up beat but I've been doing some research and have read that people on VLCD can suffer with feeling low and depression, something to do with a lack of certain essential oils. It was recommended to take Omega 3, 6 & 9 so I've ordered some and have...

Just found your diary Christy! Hows things going for you at mo? When is your next WI?

Day 18 Pretty boring day in so much as I worked all day - and that really helps to keep me on track. Hubby offered to cook me some chicken breast but I just didn't fancy it so have kept to SS all day. Breakfast: cappucino shake Lunch: peanut bar Supper: fruits of the forest shake Temptation...

Nope, it could definitely be worse and if you stick to plan you'll lose that and more next week :)

Day 17 Not too bad a day all in all. Surprising how low mood wise I'm feeling lately. Think it's the denying of food, I comfort eat a huge amount. Work wise things are quite stressful at the moment and keeping away from food doesn't give me the distraction I need. Breakfast: Bounty shake...

No, not got rid of her yet - but soon! Put the last weekend behind you and just get right back on - you know you can do it and it will be worth it in the end :D

Wow! That must feel amazing :D Not far to go now to reach target!

Thanks, maybe I should look for another one in my area. I'll have a look this week. I'd just given birth to my first child when my mum said how fat I was looking! For goodness sake, I'd just had a baby. She's always been overweight, in fact has always weighed more than me but she thinks that...

It's this Friday but I am seriously thinking of not going - not because I'm stopping the diet but that I can't stand my CDC. Was thinking of switching to Slim and Save but don't want to lose out on being on this forum and I've got people I like 'chatting' to know, if you kwim? I don't know, but...

Day 16 A pretty normal day so not much to write about really. Kept on track, 100% SS. Have been using the handheld blender to whip up my shakes and it's made a huge difference. So much smoother and lighter so goes easier. Breakfast: chocolate shake Lunch: malt toffee bar Supper: banana shake...

I was told by my CDC that they have different weight loss categories that people can apply for... weird.

Day 15 Up and straight back on track this morning. Didn't think I'd be able to fit in all my shakes today as I woke still feeling stuffed from my little blip last night. I did though so that's good and I also managed to drink plenty of water which will hopefully. Spent the evening watching the...

Thanks Rach! How are you doing? When did you start CD?

The Olympics have been amazing so far but tonight has been the most fantastic - i've cried :)

Day 14 (posting a day late) Weigh in day... lost 5lbs so a great result for my second week. On the downside I can't stand my CDC so I'm going to have to seriously think of finding someone else or I will stop just because I don't want to see her. A little OCD I know but I don't really like to...

Thanks Jax :D - I forget sometimes that people are reading this! At the end of the day though you just need to be where you are comfortable being. I've set a goal but I pretty much feel that I will probably settle down to about 1/2 to 1 stone above that. I think at 10 stone it will feel like too...

I'll keep that in mind as I go forward. What I find strange is if SS+ gives similar results to SS why do CD even bother with SS why not recommend everyone does SS+? What's your week been like? Staying away from annoying friends? LOL.

Just had a mango shake Dragon and quite enjoyed it. Made a change to have something a bit fruity. How's your week been? 18lbs in 18 days is amazing. You must be feeling really great :D

Thanks Lola :D I love this forum! You all 'get it' when I talk about what I'm going through - so hard as even though my hubby is great he's the same weight he was when we got engaged 18 years ago (and still as handsome :D ) so can't really understand what I'm going through. But everyone here...

I'm always tired lately, thought it was just me. Last night I announced I was off to bed and hubby then told me it was only 9:30! I'm always a night owl!!! As for the spots it could part of your body just detoxifying and getting ridding of all the impurities (think that's what I mean). Your...

Hey Lola! Just got back from my second weigh in and I've lost 5lbs - which is what my scales told me too. So according to my scales I've lost a stone - yay! I'm going with mine even if in future she says I've lost more on hers :) What can I do if I don't like my CDC. I've tried to, this is my...

I'm sure it's wrong, it must be... can't believe that your little fall off the wagon would do that much damage... unless you DID eat a whole chicken??? lol Just stick to the diet, stay strong, drink loads of water and I'm sure you'll be fine by Tuesday, that's still quite a time away.

Day 13 Not such a bad day today diet wise, although I did feel very emotional and stressy but that's probably work related. Breakfast: chocolate mint shake Lunch: cranberry bar Supper: banana shake Temptation: 3/10 Willpower: 10/10 Weigh tomorrow... :eek:

I may 'shake it up' when I collect my next lot of stuff tomorrow. Was thinking of trying the fruits of the forest one so you've given me the push to do so.

Day 12 Feeling really, really tired at the moment, don't know whether it's the diet or the fact that I'm having to get up a million times in the night to pee :O Was so tempted to pop a bit of chicken in my mouth last night whilst everyone was eating their supper. It was a chinese stir fry and...

That's a great result Dragon!!! Yay!!! Well done. 3 to 4 pounds a week is a stone a month so you're still well on track. I'm starving right now and my hubby is cooking, I can't smell it but I can hear frying - not a good sound... it could be bacon... lol. Think I need to take myself upstairs :D

Hey and welcome to Minimins :D As Lovelyle says it does get easier, for me it was day 5 I think, had a terrible couple of days before then woke up on day 5 and felt great! totm - means 'time of the month' lol

Thanks, I'm determined NOT to weigh myself tomorrow morning - I'll let you know if that works out :)

How did it go Dragon? Hope you had a good one :D

Stick with it - I also have a confession to make - I stood on the scales AGAIN this morning and I'd gained 1/2 lb - grrrrrr! However, normally this would discourage me but not today. Today I'm just more determined to stick with it as I know it will change. You may find that when you go for you...

Day 11 (yesterday - late posting) A very frustrating day but not really because of the diet but the fact I spent 3 hours (non stop) on the phone, pretty much on hold, with Microsoft trying to sort out why Office wouldn't install. I think the diet did affect how I handled it though as at the end...

Hey, if you're going to fail - you might as well make it a big one :D This diet is hard so don't punish yourself too much - did you enjoy your fall though :P I was quite tempted tonight, went to the pub with a friend and stuck to just bottled water but this pub also cooked and the smell of...

Yes my first weigh in was last Friday, I lost 9lbs. Second weigh in is this Friday and it would be great if I lost 5lbs as that would be a stone. Even better would be 6lbs as that would take me in to the 12s but will be happy to just lose :)

Oh no! Yes, I agree - maybe you should stop standing the scales! Says she who weighed herself yesterday and today :O But I am trying to stop weighing myself so often as I know if I don't see any movement I could get disheartened. Have you got any little tricks you could use to stop you weighing...

The couch to 5k running app is brilliant - I can highly recommend it. I used this when I first started running a couple of years ago and was running 10k races last year. Just before Christmas 2011 I was in training for a half marathon - then I fell, injured by hip and have been told to avoid...

I'm going to try and be realistic as in August I've got a week away at my mum's and also as a family we are off to London for 4 days so I know it may be harder to stick to 100% SS so I'm going to say I'd like to lose 10lbs. 1. p220157 - Lose 12lbs 2. Yolande - Lose 21lbs 3. Littlemumma - Lose...

This place is brilliant support. I did this diet for the first time a good 3 or 4 years ago and was very much like you, a reader not a poster, but this time round I decided I really needed to throw myself in to this forum and write not just read and the support I've gotten is brilliant. The...

GO FOR IT! You've got nothing to lose applying and sounds like plenty to gain if you win. You've done brilliantly so you should definitely apply. You're weight losses are inspirational - they certainly inspire me to continue SS (Day 11 for me and not cheated once :D).

Day 10 Not the best of days, in fact probably my worst day since starting CD :( Have felt unbelievably hungry today and grumpy :D Hubby keeps asking me why I'm so quiet and am I ok? Lol, all my energy today has been focussed on not giving in - I know I would so regret it if I did. Don't know...

It's still a loss which is great news!!! Congrats :) The exercise is a great thing though as it will help tone up and you'll look better once you reach goal. You may find you lose less on the scales but you'll actually lose inches.

Oh, Christy, it's horrible when you have days like that :( Your friend may be trying to sabotage you, even if subconsciously. Some friends can feel threatened or jealous or scared that they'll lose your friendship. Did you resist? If so, give yourself a HUGE pat on the back for staying so...

Steal away Kriskin - I thought it might help to look back and maybe see where I was tempted (with a view to looking at this once I reach goal) and also when my willpower struggles and if it's connected with particular things so I can be more vigilant. At the moment I think it's more the idea of...

Crisps are my absolute weakness - so can understand that completely. I had to bowl up some crisps for my son's party (cheese & onion and salt & vinegar - two of my favourites) and I didn't even lick my fingers :D Wish my house was tidy but I'm having to put my energy in to work lol!

Day 9 Bit of a so-so day, but I have stayed strong and stuck to it 100% - even when I walked in to the kitchen earlier and saw the delicious sausages my family had earlier in their hotdogs :mad: Walked back in a half hour later and there was half an uneaten one left and the thought crossed my...

2 whole dress sizes? Wow that's really inspirational, can't wait to drop a couple of dress sizes.

You are completely right - a loss, is a loss, is a loss at the end of the day. My scales are pretty accurate and as I'm going to use them after I finish this diet, for maintenance, I'm going to use my scales all the way through this diet. Who knows there may be a day when I will lose more...

Brilliant - over a stone in just 2 weeks. That's amazing :D Good for you x

Good luck with your weigh in today. Let me know how you get on. And yes, I agree with you, I love the oriental chilli one too, haven't tried the spicy tomato but might now as it looks as if we might have similar taste buds!

So did you find a cookbook :D ? Maybe there's a market there just waiting to be tapped, lol?

Good for you, that's always the hardest part, getting right back on the wagon, and you've done it xx

Day 8 Forgot to post yesterday. I have a good excuse though as it was my son's 10th birthday party and was kept busy with 6 ten year old boys most of the day. Kept strong all day and stuck 100% to SS despite cooking pizza, chickekn nuggets (so easy to nibble on :) ), and putting out crisps (a...

No you don't! You might think you do but you don't - just imagine one covered in something disgusting lol ...

That's a great idea, that way you can have it as a treat and have all week to work it off. Dirt and worms is made in a small plant pot (a clean unused one of course!), cut a round slice of cake for the bottom (to plug up holes), top up to around 3/4 full with ice cream, then put in gummy and/or...

No, no, don't Lola - you've been doing so well. I believe the longer you can do it the easier it is. I'm sure you will do well at your weigh in tomorrow. Keep going today and if you really need to eat something make it non carb so you don't come out of ketosis! As for me I'm claiming a 9lb loss...

Just found your diary Kriskin and am really enjoying it. Loving your checklists. Congrats on your wife being pregnant! When is she due? You're going to be a fit and healthy dad :D

Thanks Dragon :) How are you doing this week?

Day 7 & First Weigh In Felt rough after yesterdays awful soup and then followed it with a terrible night so woke up feeling tired and grumpy. Weighed myself at home first so I could get a rough guide to how much my CDC would say I'd lost and expected it to be fairly accurate as on the initial...

Have a great night Casablanca - even your night off you are playing it sensible with WW meals.

Thanks for the support everyone. I've been thinking about this a lot today and had pretty much thought the same, that I should just pick one set of scales and stick with them - so I'm choosing mine (after all that's all I'll have when I'm no longer seeing a CDC) and so I am claiming my 9lb loss...

Yes, you are perfectly normal. I smelt the meal my hubby and kids were eating the other night and the smell made me feel a bit ill too. Try and keep up with your water, it's really important and don't give in to temptation on the cakes - you know you'll regret it right after. Remember: nothing...

So today was my first weigh in. I did weigh myself on my scales this morning, as I did before I went to meet my CDC for the first time. That first time I weighed 14st 0.5lb on mine and 14st 1.0lb on hers. This morning I met with her and was told that I had lost 7lb - not bad but not as good as...

Day 6 Ugh. Not a good day. Banana shake for breakfast, followed by a peanut bar for lunch, then decided I would try the other packet of soup I'd bought for the week. I only bought 2, the chilli one and a leek and potato one. Quite liked the chilli one so had high hopes for the leek and...

When I weighed myself yesterday I hadn't lost a thing but this morning I'd dropped another 2lbs so keep with it - some days are like that. Heat will play funny games too as our bodies retain more water when its hot apparently. Stay strong delta15. This site is turning in to a life saver as it's...

Stay strong Lola - you know you can do it. Well done on sticking with water whilst your friends munch - that shows how much willpower you've got, so you should be very proud of yourself :D I try and imagine all my favourite foods but with something disgusting on them - find that usually helps...

Wow! These photos are such an inspiration. You are looking great and sound like you know what you have to do post CD - that's one thing that scares me, losing all the weight then putting it all back on. On one hand I don't think I will as basically the most I've ever lost is a stone and a half...

Lol, this struck a cord with me - I must stop but just don't seem to be able too. Maybe we need to start a group? Weigh In Anonymous? "Hi my name is Jools and I'm a weighaholic!" Thing is it's great if I see a loss, it really spurs me on to want to carry on but if I see I've gained (especially...

How are you doing Delta? When is your first weigh in? Mine's tomorrow - I had sneaky weigh on my scales this morning and I'm hopeful for a good loss.

Day 5 Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Lola the time will fly by too quickly and before you know it your daughter will be cooking roast dinners... and having boy troubles, being moody, talking about going away to university... Lol... No, i must admit my daughter is lovely and I feel...

Thanks no more, really nervous although I did sneaky peek a weigh in on my scales this morning and mine say I've lost around 8lbs so I'd be pleased with that.

Thanks guys, have decided not to go tonight as I just don't know whether I could cope with it. As you say it's only one BBQ and I'm sure there will be others in the future, but this is for me and I have to look after myself (something I'm not good at) and it will be easier to stay home. Will...

Well done you! Breaks in routine always put me out too. When those pangs hit I just try and do something to keep me busy or go to bed so I'm as far away from food as possible :D

I started CD last Saturday so, i was 1/2 lb heavier on her scales :) I found the first 2 days ok but struggled on days 3&4, now on day 6 and feeling better. I know what you mean about just knowing that this time you are going to do it. I feel exactly the same way. My head is in its right space...

I've got that dvd and am hopefully going to start it in a week or so time. My CDC said not to do anything for the first couple of weeks so my body can adjust to less calories. I'm on Day 6 of SS and have been really strong so far. First weigh in tomorrow :O

Days 1 & 2 didn't feel so bad for me - think my excitement at starting the diet just carried me through but days 3 & 4 were awful. I've had headaches everyday but today, day 5, I've felt so much better. Don't feel so hungry, have more energy. I do have a headache now but I think it's more heat...

Tilleigh, it's completely understandable but maybe you just need to try and remember why you are doing what you're doing. Maybe go find a really awful fat photo and stick somewhere it can remind you why need to stay strong? Or make a list of why you don't want to be overweight anymore and a list...

So the family have been invited out to a BBQ this Thursday and I'm struggling with what to do. This is day 5 of CD, I'm SS, and I don't feel like I want to go for a number of reasons. Firstly I don't know if I would be able to stay strong with all those yummy BBQ smells - there is something so...

I definitely will Lola - although i don't expect to lse 13lbs!!! You've done so well, that must encourage you :) I'm feeling quietly strong and determined at the moment. I can't say it's been easy but i think it's more that i should feel hungry rather than actually feeling really, if you kwim?

Thanks Becky :) It's all a mental battle but everyday I wake up determined to keep strong, but its hard to think like that as the day goes on. This site helps thiugh, its so encouraging reading others stories.

That's fantastic Lola! It's almost a stone in your first week. My first weigh in is this Friday ... Very nervous.

Day 4 Feeling really, really low today. Hungry and feeling tired :( Have stuck to it all day though and drunk plenty of water.

Days 1-3 The first 2 days have not been too bad. I'm lucky that I have a great husband, and a 16 daughter, who are supporting me by taking over the cooking so I don't have to deal with that. Although I did have to help my daughter to do the roast dinner yesterday as she's not had much...

Tried the CD a few years ago and just couldn't do it, fast forward to now and I've been feeling the most down about my weight than I ever have before. So enough is enough is enough. I feel quite strong mentally at the moment and I need to do something and I need to do it now! So I'm doing SS...

Well done on resisting the weigh in Lola - you're obviously stronger in willpower than I am :) It's day 3 for me and I have to say I've struggled today - feeling really hungry. Oh when does ketosis kick in, lol... My first weigh in will either be this Friday or Saturday, not sure as my CDC...

Hey Lola - just noticed that we started this within a few days of each other. I was feeling exactly the same (Saturday was my day 1) so I was wondering the same. I know it's only the beginning of day 3 for me but just needed a bit of a boost. I jumped on the scales first thing this morning and...

OK, I've only recently started RC but have lost 9lbs in 2 weeks. Not expecting a good weight loss this week (it's a * week, LOL)! However I've just completed my 2nd run of the week: run 2 of Week 7 of the Couch to 5k program. I ran 3.2 km in 25 minutes. Not bad considering the bulk I'm hauling...

I'm feeling really low and it's just been one of those weeks, kwim? Started off on Monday night by a 'friend' who had a real go at me for doing CD. I felt verbally attacked she told me I was doing myself real harm. Amongst the things she was saying were things like "as soon as you start to...

What a great and inspirational post - thanks for that - I will try to keep this in my mind on the low days :) Well done you and you have every right to be proud!!!

Thanks for the great welcome and all your thoughts on excercise. I used to go to the gym around 3 times a week but didn't make it once in the school holidays and then I did my back in and have been seeing a chiropractor so I'm probably back to zero fitness level again. Oh well, I'll try and get...

... introducing myself. I've been lurking :p Hello :wavey: I've not been a yo-yo dieter but just kept starting diets and very rarely made it through the first week without first cheating a little, then a lot. Also I used to get so disappointed when I'd been 'good' all week and find I'd...
