Congrats Dear,

I've just got the book 'Two Lipsticks and a Lover' which says much same thing.

It also points out that sex can be included in the 'moving' bit, and provided you eat less, the fois gras and white wine diet can also be included...

The French know how to do this stuff...

Don't forget all the calories you burn off by typing posts on forums.

It's the mouse that's the blame for obesity in IT but the keyboard can save us. Hence why my posts aren't as short as they could be.

So our (men's) desire for thin birds is in the hope they'll actually do more than just lie there in bed and not because we drool opened mouth as they saunter past.

I've ditched birds in the past that were too lazy to be a cowgirl for me.

Yes, it IS as simple as that!

Lost a dress size and half a stone in a fortnight by NOT being on a diet!

You've gotta try the threadeds' cycling diet. Then you can eat as much cake and as many pies as you want.

Losing weight at more than 1-2lbs per week is liable to lead to loss of muscle tissue. 7lbs in two weeks is probably half muscle and half fat.

Many women don't think losing muscle tissue matters... however, it is your muscle mass which is a key factor in determining your metabolism... This is why people gain it back after a diet.

If you want to keep it off and maybe make some more improvements (toning) I recommend joining a gym and doing some work on the resistance machines. And eat healthy whole foods which are high in protien.

And that muscle mass you lose will include some from your heart and uterus so you're asking for lots of trouble down the line unless you exercise to force your body to keep the muscle.

I agree SD, but you can get all the toning you need with sit ups, press ups and buttock clenches.

And walking like you mean it.

Sweating can be so undignified...

SallyAnne is right - eat less, exercise more. This needs to be a lifestyle change and I have no intention of having a gym as part of my lifestyle...

Eat less, move more!
