Finished anyway now Stu, and at exactly the weight I intended to be int he time I had, a stone and a half, was 15'9 at the start, and ended up 14'2 7 weeks later, wouldnt have wanted to lose it any more rapidly than that even if I could have TBH.
I was eating what was convenient, the office I was based in had free fruit delivered twice a day, so apples were an easy option, it was also easy for me to stick to for the same reason, hence unlike most people I achieved exactly the losses I set out to.
