    From being on this site now for a month I know I'm nothing too special, but when a local journalist contacted me the other day to talk about the weight I've lost so far I couldn't really say no. I've been quoted quite a bit out of context on the Gastric Band stuff (they've got a bit of a campaign going), as I actually said I'd never thought about it but would possibly have gone for it if it had been offered, but it's mostly just a nice little piece. :smile:

    Still a long way to go yet, though!

      add an "l" at the very end of the link. so it says *http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/News/One-mans-tale-of-fighting-the-flab.html* then it'll work. :))

      Oops, sorry. Looks OK - strange that, if I copy it then it does it fine. The forum doesn't seem to accept BBCode or HTML so I can't do it as a proper link. All I can do is assure you that the link

      http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/News/One-mans-tale-of-fighting-the-flab.htm

      is absolutely correct, it doesn't need the "l" at the end. Not sure what else to suggest to be honest :S

      Is it working OK for other people?

      Worked for me. Congratulation on changing, and probably saving, your life. Very inspiring. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing.

      Thanks :smile:



      I'm having trouble opening it now myself, both with and without that link. I think the website's experiencing some issues, I can't open it on my phone either so it's not just my connection - and with the above, it would explain the problems.

      Shouldn't take too long to fix, it's the local newspaper here so it's a busy enough site.

      I can see it fine! Maybe it's one of those things that come and go. You can also get to it from a heading down the page here http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/News/

      Nice work man ...! (But you didn't mention MFP?)

      Actually, I did! But they edited it to suit their agenda, and sadly that didn't appear.
