Great news LadyB, I don't think you'll regret it. I'm only just finished week 2 so I can't speak about the diet in the long term but it is very hard at first but my 2nd week has been much much easier. Just know that you're not alone and you can get through the tough initial stages. I tried it before and lasted til about day 3/4 but i didn't have this forum Honestly , this place makes the difference, cos you know everyone else is doing it. You'll be fine and just think in a few months you'll be thin! x
