  • I eBay'd mine as I went along with the logic that it would discourage me from putting on weight. I kind of wish I'd kept hold of some of the more RAF parachute stuff, as it would have been hell of a reality check. I've gained back some of my original loss, however nowhere weigh nowhere near as much as I did originally.…
  • She lights up in front of a camera (no pun intended), but her lifestyle is shown in candid shots - lots of smoking and drugs have aged Kate Moss terribly. She does have that certain something, though. Camera adores her. Aaaaanyway. Most models win the genetic lottery, and I'm sure not many of them are adverse to lacing up…

  • Thank you, much appreciated! Maintenance is definitely the hardest part - going up a dress size was the wakeup call for me.
  • I'm certainly one of the most active of my friends, however as we're all getting older we all seem to be stepping it up a notch! Family-wise, perversely I come from a long line of naturally slim people. IKNOWRITE. So whilst I'm by far the most active, I'm not the slimmest by long stretch. Someone neatly used the term…
