Thanks all.
It is absolutely down to this site I have kept my spirits up. I am partly doing this diet for health reasons (the other because I hated how I look).
I'm having back problems and need to rule out being overweight as a contributory factor (it's not the cause but engineering dictates if too heavy = extra strain).
I am so so please I've lost these 2.5 stones relatively quickly, once I've lost the next stone I can decide what to do about my health.
Thanks to all for the support
