The book thing is exactly what i did last time, i lost lost 6 stone in 2008 but due to 'stuff' i gave in and put it all back on. I too have tried about 4 times last year and only lasted a couple of days. This is the very last time i want to do this diet lol i've started the 'book' again and had pictures done.
We will have to encourage each other as we seem to be at the same mental stage lol
