    Thanks ladies! I was really pleased to get back to pre-holiday weight in my first week so everything from now on is new territory. Kel, try not to get yourself too tired, look after yourself! Daisy, you'll weigh in next week and be under target - then you can relax (a little bit)! Lol!

    Hi Hazel and welcome! I'm just restarting after a wee break due to holidays etc. I was the same as you and am very impatient about things so the quick results on this diet were ideal, I'm also not good with choice so the fact that there's no give and take on this suits me well and I found that...
