Ha ha Ann, I'll have to do it now. I was going to say I have nothing to lose and everything to gain but that's a bit back to front in this case.

I was talking to a friend yesterday who has had great success with this diet. It was on Horizon, you choose two days a week when you have only 500 calories, salads, fruit, fish, chicken etc and for the other five days you eat normally. I guess the success lies in how good you are on the five days. My friend wanted to loose some weight before going on holiday so she walks everyday and eats sensibly on the days out of her five that she is at home but when she goes out she eats what she wants.

I like the flexibility of being able to choose your two days and my youngest daughter and I are going to try it. I have chosen Mondays, because I usually eat too much over the weekend and Wednesdays. I think it is probably better to not have consecutive days.

I also will try to walk more and be sensible on most of my five days as I prefer to just get it over and done with rather than trying to stick to it for months. I Googled it and there is a lot of info and positive comments on the net. So I start on Monday.
