Welcome!

Everything Dean said is the absolute truth. If you follow his advice, you can't go wrong.

I too, cheated by having 1 dessert at the weekend, but I haven't done so in 2 weeks and I've dropped a few pounds. So it does work if you don't cheat.
Nothing beats the satisfaction of going shopping yesterday and buying 3 sizes smaller clothing! Yay! Even beats the taste of chocolate.

Good luck, you can do it!!
