Wow, what an inspiration! 

No, I’m the least inspirational person on this earth! Hopeless but harmless sums me up, as LeAnn will tell you, if she still posts on here. I just popped in to see if she was still around.
Losing the weight is easy, keeping it off is the problem. 
The secret is not to be too rigid or you will fall off the wagon. Hey, whoever heard of an apple making you fat? If you want fruit on day 2 have some! If you like jacket potatoes then instead of having a huge beast of a thing on day 2, lathered in butter, have a medium one on days 2 and 3 with a squirt of PAM.
If you have a craving for something, try and work a user friendly way around it. Maga used to cut the stalks of cauliflower and broccoli into sticks and munch on those when she had a craving for sugar. But if you do fall off and have a snickers bar… so what? Just pick yourself up, forget it and get on with the diet.
If you have to go our for meal… go! Enjoy it… keep off the booze though! It’s not as if you are eating out every night is it? And better to accept that now and again you will have a ‘proper meal’ than to stick rigidly to the diet and not have a life. Sure as eggs you won’t last the course if you turn into a diet hermit.
Don’t get hung up on salt contents of this and that and what’s full of sodium and what isn’t… If you want something have it. So long as you don’t have a lorry load of fizzy drinks you’re OK.
Don’t worry on the weeks you don’t lose so much as an ounce, that’s when you are losing inches. Just think, we lose weight quickly on this diet, the skin needs time to catch up doesn’t it? Otherwise we’d be gathering up the slack and tying it in a knot on top of our heads!
Maga and I, because we were on the diet for so many months, always took Sunday off and ate what we’d been wanting all week. Do you know, after about a month my tastes changed. I didn’t want such big or rich meals and it was quite a relief to get back on day 1 every Monday.
The very best of luck to you. Toots.
