Whatever happens, good luck and I'm really impressed with how far you've come. I've lost a little myself but not even close to what you've done.

Thanks Mark. I've heard the money saved thing is a good incentive normally but I don't actually spend a lot on fags. With me working away, I get all of mine duty free so it only costs me about a fiver a week.

Don't know if it'll help you as it's a different sort of thing but never know

I love pomegranates so that might be an idea - they're buggers to get into right enough so the preparation would be time consuming.

Thanks to all so far for the encouragement
