    Well I had a 1 week stint in hospital at the beginning which helped (but I wouldn't reccomend it) - and after that I have been sticking rigidly to 1200 calories a day, I exercised most days (started just by walking for 10 mins, now I run for 20-30mins) and made sure I was chewing my food properly.

    My problem was I was a serial snacker, so I cut this out by chewing gum everytime I want a snack. Gum has really helped.

    I think I have lost so much so quickly as I was very big to begin with. They say the bigger you are the easier it comes off. I am expecting the next 5st to be much much harder :ohwell:

    That is amazing! Very inspiring! Gum is a good idea... I just started that today! I have also kept a pack of cherios sitting on my desk of about 2 servings (220 calories) I snack on it all day from morning on. Its my breakfast however I make it last and it helps! It takes a full 4+ hours to eat the whole thing and it helps keep my tummy full. And of course the water too! That helps... lots of water!
