Hi Niki,
I have lost weight on the diet too,about 20lbs which means I went from squeezing into a UK Size 12 to having size 10 loosish on me. I just did it really by sticking rigidly to Heather's diet for a while- I lost the weight unintentionally and in just 8 weeks.

I used to eat a lot of cheese and chocolate.I have only cheated once on cheese since August (on Christmas Day!) and have cheated on chocolate a bit but have not eaten a whole bar (Roses from the tin at work, choccie biscuits) whereas the old me would have eaten at least one bar a day everyday. I also used to be a demon for fizzy drinks.

I am at the stage where if I eat something bad eg cheesecake I know it will hurt my tummy or give me bad wind, so I weigh up the risk, If I want it bad enough to risk then pain then I eat it. The one thing I don't do is cheat on an empty stomach. The three (make that four) Fox's Classic Chocolate Biscuits (70 cal/3g fat per biscuit!)that I ate this evening were after a meal of Turkey Chili and Rice.

I get down about not being able to eat stuff sometimes but am happier to feel better than to be stuffing my face with cheese, y'know I have developed a taste for cheeseless pizza (not from Dominos though, or pizza hut, but from Italian Pizza places...mmm try chicken with peppers and mushrooms, no cheese, its the base sauce that really matters, made me realise how awful some of the base sauces are!)

Hope this is of some help!
